What is wrong with you people? Do you read? Did you finish grade school?
And why are idiots here complaining about what they “get” from the NRA when they should be more concerned about what they do FOR the NRA which, in turn, has done so much to protect their Constitutional Rights?
Not only is this thread literally loaded with misinformation, it's also filled with lies. For example, the person who claimed that he is a Life Member but the NRA refuses to send him his magazines is a bald-faced liar.
Unbelievable!
BTW, the NRA has been a huge opponent of Harry Reid ever since he has become anti-gun. Reid is terrified of the NRA.
Get a clue, folks!
I read your reply just now.
This July, I upgraded to NRA Benefactor. No, the NRA isnt perfect and I dont agree with every endorsement. Yes, there are other good organizations BUT the NRA is the foremost.
Fellow freepers, keep in mind that Bloomturd (Bloomberg) donated $50 million to the anti-freedom cause. I calculate that as .0016 of his net worth of 33 billion or .16%. Have any of the detractors on this old thread have done anything remotely close? For the sake of argument, this can include the toatal of donations to any and all pro-firearms civil rights organizations.
Another thing, although the NRA doesnt publicize it, you can call or e-mail NRA membership and ask them to set what they call the do not promote flag You wont receive requests for money after you have done so (or if you do, it will be very few).
I do agree with what many have said in this respect—if I were running ANY organization and a member asked me to ask only occasionally for funds in addition to membership dues or not to ask at all, I would honor the request.
