We are a company and we do make money off advertisement. This for get everyone a fair chance to win something.

Sorry as stated before it's not changing anytime soon and if you complain your welcome to pony up the cash to do your own contest.
Gun Owners of Canada is doing this to try to give back to the community. Complaining about how we do it only makes us not want to.
