Yup, The old "They sent me junk mail 15 years ago." excuse for not belonging to one of the ONLY groups that stands up for our rights is plain silly. It's an effective voice for all of us and this is proven every time Chucky Shumer and his crew squeal like bitches about an NRA press release.... I've been doing the 3 or 5 year deal but this year I may go lifetime... The junk mail isn't as bad as it used to be if that'll swing more folks to joining...

I posted some time back that I attended an NRA meeting in Chocolate City (N.O.). The purpose of the meeting was to speak to victims of the gun grabs to get info/people to use in material to show the rest of the counrty that this actually happened. Wayne Lapierre stated that all around the country the majority of people didn't believe this happened when he spoke about it and about ALL of 'em said that it couldn't happen to them. If you aren't an NRA member, you suck. Save your crying and excuses for your post on DU. |

I think this is a bold fucking move by the NRA. Bold move. This is right up there with demanding that the '86 MG ban be repealed.
There was a time when I thought the NRA was a bunch of rich pussies feeding off our tit, but after the AWB went away and the junk lawsuit immunity law was passed, I have a different opinion of the organization now. No other group is accomplishing what the NRA is accomplishing. Join up and do your part to keep us moving in the right direction. |

yeah I'm sure they're just waiting on $35 from a certain guy from Tucson, Arizona to go after the 86 MG ban even a broken watch is right twice a day, if they keep stuff like this up I'll support them. I'm not convinced. |

You are fuckin kidding right even a broken watch is right twice a day, if they keep stuff like this up I'll support them. I'm not convinced. That is so pathetic. How the hell do you suppose they fight for the things "you" want when don't even provide them any resources to do so? The whole world does not revolve around "you" |

besides this, show me something they've done for us "ugly gun" owners besides flood our mailboxes with 15 pounds of crap every month(hell this isnt even really for ugly guns, just confiscation of any gun). I'm starting to warm up to these guys, the DPMS 308 as gun of the year was a nice gesture. however their track record still sucks |

exactly right, the world does not revolve around me, so why are they waiting for my contribution to actually get off their asses for "ugly guns" oh yeah, probably because they dont care about us and are more interested in keeping the fudds happy |

Isn't confiscation of property without due process a violation of the 4th Amendment? Why aren't we talking felony violation of civil rights charges? Or does that only work against white people? |

Agreed 100%. As soon as they have the balls to seriously take a stand against the unconstitutional laws that are continually pushed on us, I will join. Despite you people that hate me because I'm not a member, keep in mind that the NRA is the most powerful lobby in Congress right now. More powerful than AARP. More powerful than AFL-CIO. The NRA is the MOST powerful lobby in the country, even without my money and TRH's money. And they can only gain MORE members by continuing to stick up for what's right. If they continue to do the right thing for America, I will join, but as of now, they're doing nothing for me or anyone else in occupied states like Illinois.
Don't worry man. It's what conservatives do. They insult me (even though I'm a Christian) every time I bring up the first amendment. It's just the way it is. They fail to understand the danger of religion being involved in decisions of public policy. It's an ignorance thing. |

WHAT DID THEY DO? NOTHING! politicians did NOTHING and it lapsed. remember what happened to congress after they passed it the first time? they didnt want that to happen a second time. granted the NRA had some influence on this but attributing the fall of the AWB solely to the NRA is just stupid. |

No, they're hoping for $35 from thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of gun owners. Then they would have the money to do what their members want. And they would have the numbers (read: NRA members who VOTE) and political clout to really go to work for us. Of course, if you don't send the money, then you're not a member, and they won't listen to your concerns. Let me put this into perspective with some numbers (forgive me if I'm a little off on these numbers, I'm going from memory): *There are 300 million people in the U.S. *There are 80 million gun owners in the U.S. *There are 3 million NRA members. *There were 100 million voters in the 2004 national elections. Now imagine if half of the gun owners in America were NRA members. Imagine if the NRA lobbyists went to politicians and said "I represent 40 million voting gun owners". Imagine what they could do. Let me spell it out very plainly: If you're an NRA member, you get to have a say in what the NRA fights for, and the NRA gets to use your membership as part of the larger number of members when they demonstrate their political influence. So, if you want to think small, no the NRA doesn't need your membership. Then again, neither does your political party, your church, or your branch of military service. Strength lies not so much in the individual, but in that he is willing to be a part of a team. --edit for spelling, and to remove an unnecessary derogatory remark. My apologies TRH-- |

This feller "Gets it"..... Thanks, By doing that you'll do more than most. So few gun owners and 2nd amendment "supporters" are members, it's a wonder we can have anything but slingshots. If not for the NRA we would be in much worse shape than we're in now. |

I was not going to join the NRA, just because I thought they were just redneck weirdos who would spout off tin foil theories like the UN invading to piss off other redneck weirdos.
This action that they have taken however, is well rooted in the realm of reality. How do I join, without having them send me junk mail and calling me for donations like the members here complain about? |

First you join, the you call them and ask them not to send you solicitations. Then, every now and then when you've got a few extra bucks, you send them a small donation. Even 5 or 10 bucks will help.
