I remember about 30 years ago, when I went on an elementary school field trip, you could basically fill a freezer with grunion from the take season, both from your own take and the take of others who didn't want the fish.

The unique nature is AIPAC is one of a few lobbies (crypto is another) that will advertise on unrelated issues to kneecap politicians they don't like. NRA messaging is usually straight up on gun rights, not stuff like health care.
