Midway USA donates 1 million dollars to NRA

Per email from Midway:
Dear Valued Customer,
One million is an attention-getting number, no matter what the circumstances. At MidwayUSA, Brenda and I - along with the MidwayUSA Employees - have celebrated a good many 'one million' milestones during the last 35+ years.
In 1983, our seventh year in business, we reached the milestone of one million dollars in business during a single calendar year. 2008 was the first year we filled one million orders for our Customers. In 2012 your NRA "Round-Up" contributions, through MidwayUSA, exceeded one million dollars during that single year. Please note that NRA "Round-Up" contributions come from you, our Customers, and each week since 1992 we have sent your contributions directly to the NRA/ILA National Endowment for the Protection of the 2nd Amendment. Our Customers should get all the credit for that, we just collect and remit your money. Now, in March of 2013 came another milestone to celebrate - one million active Customers - Customers who have ordered from MidwayUSA during the last twelve months. For a country kid from Missouri, that's an amazing milestone.
I believe our vision to be the best-run, most-respected business in America, for the benefit of our Customers, our family values and our relentless pursuit of Customer Satisfaction are what brought us to this milestone of one million active Customers. Brenda and I, along with all the Employees at MidwayUSA, thank you very much for your support.
As you might imagine, we gave quite a bit of thought as to how we could celebrate. Should we choose our one millionth active Customer and give he or she a special gift? Well, we could have done that, but all of our Customers are equally important, not just the one who put us over the top. Then someone came up with the idea that we should donate $1 to the NRA for each of our active Customers. Well, let's see, what is $1 times one million?
And so it was! On Monday morning about 10am, when we went over one million active Customers, MidwayUSA authorized our bank to send a wire transfer of one million dollars to the NRA/ILA National Endowment for the Protection of the 2nd Amendment; because we can and because we should.

through this whole ammo shortage, Midway and SGammo are the two top notch sellers that I will always remember and rebuy from in the future. These guys have not succumb to the insane price hikes. Midway being the leader IMO. They will be my first stop for everything gun related.
This donation to the NRA is just icing on the cake as to why they are such a great company.

They always gettin my business and I will continue to give it to them. I am headed over there to order a bullet puller from them right now, and yes I will round up.

I will gladly spend extra money if I must to buy from them. Not only do they stand behind their products but they seem to stand behind their customers as well. Damn Fine Company in my opinion!

This is definitely the first time I've had the urge do to an S-E-C chant for anything Missouri related
They've kept the customer first through all of this and have even kept up with shipping times for the most part. Midway and Cabela's are gonna come out of this with a ton of customer loyalty from me, and I assume many others as well.
