I’ll become a lifer later this year.

I switched from yearly renewal to lifer just a couple of weeks ago. They were having a great offer for existing members - become a lifer for $600.00 instead of the normal $1,000.00. It was too good a deal to pass on.

I joined the Saturday after Sandy Hook.
Thinking about getting an NRA credit card for ammo purchases, too.

Signed up lifetime then.

I've never so much as touched a gun.

Dad, for some reason, quit hunting before I was born [WWII had something to do with it, I suspect] and I just never learned.

Well, it's crunch-time now. I just signed up with the NRA and must begin to research a good hand-gun for a beginner and find somewhere to learn how to shoot. Must hurry -- I live in New York.

Time grows short.

Check gun shows for an older .22 cal Smith & Wesson revolver w/ 4 inch barrel.
Dependable, low noise, and a good beginner’s gun.

Six things I’d like to see:

1) A class lawsuit against the libs, asking for financial damages against them personally for malicious violation of the 2nd Amendment

2) Another class action lawsuit specifically against Obama, for violation of the provisions of the Constitution prohibiting taking of property without just compensation.

3) A major public relations campaign that produces multiple movies and ads depicting the unlawful actions of the federal government in their efforts to illegally take or restrict firearms.

4) Tomorrow, after Obama surrounds himself with children, I’d like the spokespeople to go on tv and ask about the children who were murdered at Ruby Ridge and at Waco - by the illegal actions of the Federal government.

5) I’d like the public to be asked the question: Why is it wrong for the public to violate laws by committing actions that do not harm anyone, but it’s alright for the Federal government to do so in their enforcement?

6) Congress pass a law that prohibits any government agent or official, policeman, or security agent from having access to any type of weapon or ammunition that the public is prohibited to have. After all, if AR15s and large capacity magazines, or semi-automatic pistols are not necessary for the public to have, then those others listed do not need them either.

I have had my eye on a Taurus 357 for a field gun (Back ordered, of course). The Taurus comes with a free NRA membership. Since I am already a Life member, I will gift it to someone.

I got one of the NRA range bags a few years ago.

It’s acutally quite nice. Lots of compartments, padding, etc.

The NRA should have 10+ million members. 100 million gun owners, half the households in the US contain a gun, yet only 4 million NRA members. That’s a shame.

Obama: NRA recruiter of the year!
Also, the top US firearms salesman four+ years running!

Someone should make a plaque and send it to him! LOL!

Look for a 1950-60-70 made piece.
A “Kit gun” is the most desirable.
