Call the membership number on the back of your card and ask them to put you on the do not call list.

So come up with ten bucks for an associate membership and ask to be added to the do not solicit list.

Same here. For some reason I am getting hammered by them. It's a shame they are just robocalling drones or I would ask if the NRA is about to support Nolo in his fight.

Today was the fifth day in a row I have been called by NRA contracted solicitors offering some kind of renewal deals. How do you get them to stop??? It certainly is not having the desired effect. If they don't call off the dogs they won't see another dime out of me! I'm tired of the pests! I bet if you renewed they'd stop since they'd have nothing else to offer you

I hate the spiel they give "This the most dangerous time for gun owners in the history of the whole world as Obama tries to work with his allies in the UN to violate our second amendment rights through the global gun ban agenda. Can I put you down for a $50 donation? Oh, you gave last week? Well how about $25 to fight the Obama UN assault in our freedom?"

I am not an NRA basher. I have been a member for over thirty years but I don't agree with their tactics. I am very capable of taking care of my membership obligations without some paid solicitor calling me every day . I'm sure these callers are self serving and don't give a damn about the NRA

So yeah, they could be anybody. But you have to ask the NRA to put you on the do not call list. The reason they do this, is because they make money doing it. Don't begrudge them the opportunity to make money. They've got a big fight on their hands against Bloomturd et. al. |

Have you tried calling the main membership number and informing them of this? The NRA isn't making the calls. They pay a company to do this. I would bet someone at that company is the problem, not the NRA.

Not an NRA member anymore, but when I was a member, all the calls I would get were sales calls trying to get me to buy rain gutters and various other crap. Then came the snail mail spam, Oh.....My.....God... |

Knock on wood, let's hope they still keep on not doing it!
The letters and emails don't bother me a bit. I trash anything that doesn't interest me. Edit: I'm paid up for years and years. Not sure, maybe 3-5 more years still to go before I need to renew. |

I had never minded the calls and mail and emails...until they started calling me at 5:00 pm, and when I picked up the phone no one was on the other end. Then when I call them right back I get a message that their offices are closed
 .
I called them back and told them they wouldn't see anymore money from me for a while. It sucks because I always liked to give a random $25 or so to them every month or so, and I support the cause. My membership was also still good for 2 more years. 
The calls immediately stopped, and as long as it stays that way I'll re- up when my membership expires and start to donate again. |

About the only thing they seem to want to do anymore is annoy members and run off potential allies. The NRA needs a serious change in leadership or I'm out.  Now, let me explain what you're looking at. At the podium is President Obama, avowed hater of citizens owning guns. To his left is the sobbing Vice President, who has spent his political career working to curtail your gun rights. To the President's right, staring blankly into infinity, is The Potato, hand-puppet of gun-grabbing want-to-be-superstar Mark Kelly. The occasion of that photo was the defeat of the Manchin-Toomey Gun Control Bill in the President's very own Democratic controlled Senate. Let me remind you of some of the provisions of the bill and amendments that were on the table at the time:
And the defeat of that bill was served up by.... the National Rifle Association. The NRA, its lobbyists, its members, and support given to the NRA-ILA, are what defeated that bill. Now, I don't know what kind of "tactics" that involved that you disagree with now, but I hope the NRA has a lot more of it left in them. And bear in mind that the NRA has no money of its own. It doesn't own a gold mine somewhere, or a railroad, or a city full of rent houses. The money for the NRAILA and the NRAPVF (the two political arms of the NRA) comes from NRA members who donate on a regular basis to those causes to further the fight against people like those in the picture above. What you're saying when you tell us that you're not going to be an NRA member and support the NRA, is that you want everyone else who does financially support them to give their money to protect your rights, but you don't want to give your own. You're saying that you want the rest of us to pay your way for you. |

As previously stated- I support the NRA and have been a member for many years. Also I am fully capable of managing my membership renewal. The incessant phone calls made by hired solicitors have not had the desired effect on me unless it is to irritate. We have all had the recorded phone calls offering to " reduce our credit card rates" and other like offers . I contribute gladly but this method of sweat shop phone intimidation is not in the best interest of the NRA. respectfully TG

There have been known scammers cold calling people claiming to be the NRA. Google the number when they call and see what comes up.
Also, there is a company called "National Recovery Agency" that address themselves as "the NRA" when they call. Apparently they are pushing magazine sales and are intentionally misleading when they call. http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/directory/nra |

They jumped the shark when it was easier to change my address with Playboy than the NRA.
The wife and I are life members in the ...$350 deal? We attended the auctions and bought & gave etc. When we had kids we asked that we not be contacted after 7pm EST. That was 2010. So we were left messages during the day and continued our sponsership. The last 5 days they have called every day @ 20:30-22:30. Finally last night for the 5th time of saying I would give no more if it happened again I lost it and got a supervisor and was given the sales pitch rather than an apology for waking up my kids. So I told them they won't get a fucking thing from now to eternity. Fuck 'em if they can't respect their members. |

I talked to them once, but haven't seemed to have any issues with calls since? There was one or two, just told them that I did not want to receive any more calls. Past couple of years, none.
