From an earlier poster:

Just like Wayne La Pierre supported Democrat candidates like Sen. Harry Reid ...

This is exactly why I am letting my present NRA membership lapse in a few days (March 31, 2011).

By supporting Reid and other democrats, La Pierre helped in allowing the U.S. Senate to remain in democrat hands. If you have forgotten, it is the U.S. Senate that confirms all federal judges so from my point of view this is akin to shooting oneself in the foot. Sayonara NRA.

As for your comment to another poster, "You won't be missed", please explain for me then why the repeated nightly phone calls as to renewing my NRA membership? And, what about the deluge of renewal mailings, which thankfully, have become less frequent?

but but but if you leave you’re gonna miss out on their book club, wine tasting parties, and vacation cruises. Why am I getting the feeling that the NRA joined forces with AARP?

I don't think it has anything to do with actual membership. I bought my (then) 1 year old daughter an NRA bib as a fun gift 10 years ago. we BOTH get "your membership will expire in 30 days" mail about 3 x a year and she's NEVER been a member and I haven't since Clinton. I think they add names and just randomly mail crap out.
