FREE NRA Membership
 

NRA - Join the NRA - Bonus Offer

I'm already a member ... but, if I read it correctly, the NRA is offering a free 1 year membership with the magazine of your choice. :U:

and a letter every other day requesting $20 donations to help them fight government on certain topics. If they used the registration fee and advertising money wisely they wouldnt need any extra money but instead they spend it on daily letters and garbage mail.
I was a member 10 years ago and then never renewed my membership. last year I joined up again because I felt like I wasnt helping the cause. Then finally remembered why I didnt renew. I got at least a face cord of mail a week from them asking for this and that.
I would be happy to just give them $20 a year and receive nothing, no magazines or membership priveledges nothing. Just fight our cause without the friggen billions of dollars of mail

sorry I just lost faith in them fawkers

I am sure that the NRA will be happy to accept an anonymous donation. I agree it is discouraging to receive tons of mail from them soliciting donations, but they are easy enough to throw in the trash.

Part of the NRA's strength comes from numbers of members.

With the anti-gunners at the helm, the NRA needs to have increased numbers of members.

No other organization does more for gun rights than the NRA.

I've not received 5 pieces of mail from em in over a year. Not to mention, who actually forces you to open anything extra they send??? If you don't like it, just chuck em in the garbage and send em a e-mail asking to be removed from there mailing list, is that to hard to do????

Besides, don't you actually think the NRA might make enough money in returns to cover the millings (if they actually send out that much) while making money to fight expensive court battles for your gun rights.

How many FUDDS own guns, but do nothing to contribute to keeping them and fighting against current laws and band except bashing the NRA and talking shit about getting to much mail from em.

I do get the NRA-ILA e-mail alerts since I signed up for em and they have good stuff on the website (both of em)

Not to mention nobody else in the pro 2ds A arena is as powerful or has the backing/political clout that they do & nobody has made the changes or court challenges they have.

So, in summary, start thinking for yourself and do something to protect the 2nd amendment and all gun owners rights.........................

Thanks for posting. The link has found it's way to my email "out" box.:U:

its not the mail that bothers me.
it costs tons of money to send out mass letters soliciting money. They could save the money and then they wouldnt have to solicit for extra $$.
Sorry but the NRA isnt as straight as they used to be and most are just as crooked as washigton.
Dont get me wrong, I want to protect my second amendment, but when I see money being used unwisely it makes me reconsider my membership.
its not just throwing it in the garbage its throwing a dollar away for every letter.

If they weren't getting a lot of money from people sending extra donations from all the mailings that they were doing, I don't think they would continue to mail anything out.
(Example)
If they mailed out a 500,000 letters, it would only cost (about) 10 cents per letter that would be (about) $50,000 dollars to mail those. Lets say that only 10,000 people respond with a $5.00 donation, well then they break even, but lets say they get 100,000 people to donate $5.00, that would be $500,000 dollars.


I became a life-time member years ago, and I haven't received but a couple of mailings in the mail, they do e-mail me quite a bit, but that doesn't cost anything except the cost of the webhost.
When you sign up for a membership, it gives you the option on how you would like to be contacted, and if you un-check mail and only check e-mail, they don't send you anything. (besides a couple of things)

(just my two cents) :U:

Sweet! Thanks:U:

how does it only cost $.10? the cost of paper, plastic, stamps, labor to stuff the envelopes ect. there is more than a dollar a letter thats if there isnt any fancy brochures or cheap metal medallion or something.
the reason why you dont get anything is because they cant get any more out of you. You're a life member. Those that arent get 5-10 letters a week asking for money and trying to get me to sign up for a life membership
sorry but the cost is more than that. to me 1 letter a month would be more efficient.

the one letter that pissed me off the most was one for the local NRA to fight against specific congressman. they wanted me to sent them 100-500 dollars for them to plead our cause. uh hello, thats why I fawking joined the NRA so I can sign the ballots needed to fight for the second amendment. instead they send out wasteful paper. Sorry guys but you are blind if you think they get enough donations to pay for all of their endevors. Just think how much money they would have if they didnt send half of the garbage.

Now I dont want to let this thread off topic but wastful spending agrivates me especially when I donate money I dont really have to spare.
I will sign up again but every letter I get makes me furious.

First of all, you can opt out of NRA mailings, just call them, you don't wait on hold, you talk to a person, very easy. Dial 1-800-672-3888... and tell them to shut off all of your promotions.

Now you should have no complaints. :U:

BTW, it is illegal to use membership dues for political activities, including supporting candidates or lobbying. All that money comes from fundraising. 2 different pots of money.

ah if they spent as much money advertising the stop NRA mailings number as they did with other crap they would have more members. lol
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. :booo:

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.)

NRA - Join the NRA - Bonus Offer

Sent that link out by email and got 3 of my buddies to join up!:U: 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! :usa: :dixie:

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