I wouldn't be so quick to go to Patreon as a source of income for this site. Yes, certain firearms-focussed content creators fund themselves through Patreon. But given Patreon's
demonstrated ideological bias (a link with NSFW ads, but still relevant), it's clear that they can ban/deplatform anyone they please for any or no reason whatsoever.
Simply put, Patreon isn't reliable and is under no obligation to give its users fair opportunities or even a fair trial if they think your content is "objectionable" in any way.
