ah if they spent as much money advertising the stop NRA mailings number as they did with other crap they would have more members.
I might even sign up for 5 years now.
I know of at least 20 people that dont join anymore because of the amount of trees they send.

 

Let's not forget to mention the freakin phone calls!! I used to get at least one call a month requesting more $$. I paid my dues for many yrs and i kindly asked them to leave me alone and i would continue to renew. Nope, they kept calling and calling and sending letters with so much junk in em they'd just about clogg up my mailbox!!!

I've been done with the NRA for a few yrs now.

 

As has been said before... it is free to join and if you don't want to join don't. But, if you value your RKBA you should reconsider. Your 2nd amendments rights are under attack from this administration. No other organization does more for your rights.

If you don't want to be on the NRA mailing lists, join, then call them and tell them not to solicit you for any promotions. Dial 1-800-672-3888... and tell them to shut off all of your promotions. It is easy, painless, takes minutes and you talk to a real person without being placed on hold for any length of time.

This is a free membership offer and the provisions to opt out of additional promotions is available. (Thereby removing your objection to them.)

Sent that link out by email and got 3 of my buddies to join up! I've been an NRA member for years and haven't received a single phone-call. Yea I may receive a letter once a month, but big deal! How else are they supposed to ask for donations to fight for our 2nd amendment?
I think it's appalling that out of the estimated 30,000,000+ gun owners in this country, only 3,000,000 belong to the NRA and only a handful more belong to some other pro-2nd amendment organization that are going out of their way to fight the anti-gun zealots pushing their agenda against our freedoms! But those other 27,000,000 people who thought a once-a-month letter asking for donations was just too much to tolerate will be the first ones crying, pissing and moaning when their favorite shotgun or their late granddad's old rifle is plucked from their hands because some government bureaucratic dick-head doesn't feel he had the right to own it anymore!
It's about time for everyone to grow a set of nuts and start taking the initiative to fight to protect what they hold dear instead of sitting around and expecting someone else to do it for them and then bitching when it doesn't happen. It's that "sitting around and waiting for a handout while someone else does the work" attitude that got this great country into the mess it's in now.

WITHOUT THE 2ND AMENDMENT, WE HAVE NOTHING TO ASSURE THE PROTECTION OF THE OTHER 26!

 

its not one letter. its 1 letter every other day and a few phone calls.

I agree more people should join but people see how their money is being spent and dont like it.

 

Dude trust me i've tried that approach. It just doesn't work. Maybe some folks get out of it but they've forced me off the bandwagon with all their crap.

Besides, how does me joining as a "free" member help the NRA out? So they can say they have X amount of members???

 

Let's remember one thing. There is no club in the world that can keep every member happy, and every member agree to all things happening within it. Think of it like medications, (there are always side effects). If we support the NRA they help support our rights as an American! If we don't support the NRA who can we support that will help support us and our rights with as much or more power as the NRA? I agree it isn't perfect but I feel it is our best option! Our forefathers spent allot of blood fighting for these rights! I will fight to help keep their bloodshed from being vein! Even if I must endure the side effects of my membership.

Proud member of the NRA!
I will continue to support and fight for my right to keep myself and my family legally, armed for protection and as an avid hunter!

Thanks to everyone who supports the NRA thus supporting our rights!
