While completing a recent purchase on Amazon, I got a pop up for "AmazonSmile" which asked if I'd like Amazon to make a donation to the charity of my choice at no cost to me. I went through the process and they offer you a couple of pre-selected charities like the Wounded Warrior Project, American Red Cross, and World Wildlife Fund.
There's also the option of selecting your own charity, so I figured I'd be cheeky and typed in "NRA", and low and behold it gave me several options from the NRA main organization to some of their legal funds.

The donation from Amazon is 0.5% of your eligible purchases, which isn't a lot, but being overseas I've spent at least $1k a year on Amazon each year. This still doesn't really add up to much overall, but Amazon gets substantial credit from me for offering the choice to support Pro 2A organizations.

I was honestly surprised that in today's climate they hadn't gone all PC. Good on them.
