I hope the NRA sends them a letter saying thanks, but no thanks and deny their application. |

While I appreciate the irony, now they can claim to any RKBA protesters "As NRA members, this latest round of gun control is reasonable, and supports the rights of hunters and target shooters under the 2nd Amendment..."

I thought it would be a great idea to send gift memberships to all liberal anti-gun congress people. If they want to turn it down, that's ok, but still, 1st Freedom would be a good thing for them to read.

Are you freaking kidding me? Sending a gift membership to a senator is the *most* asinine thing you have ever read here? Good grief. You have got to get out more. At WORST, the NRA just got $35 more dollars to defend the 2A with. At BEST, he reads the magazine once. Jeez. Ya'll need some coffee or something. |

You should have sent your money to the NRA-ILA if you wanted to help protect the 2A.

Bad idea. Should have donated money to the ALF and Earth Firsters in his name instead. How much y'all wanna bet he crows about it the next time he gets hammered on his anti-gun record? |

I give to GOA. I couldn't find "gift membership" for them, or I would've had the anti's join them too. |

He does say that now. But he gets to add that he's an NRA member now, too, and bolster his lie. |

Haha... that would be great! You forget that most of the people that support him are extremely anti-gun and have such a negative view of the NRA that it *couldn't* help him AT ALL to be associated with it. |

Which is way he waits till he pretty much has the democrat nomination to do this. He has the democrat vote, now all he needs is a few gullible fools and he has the election. |

Why didn't you just send the NRA a $35 donation instead?
That way you save the cost of paperwork and mailing the magazine and all the renewal promotional material. |

So long as his secret service detail has as good a sense of humor as you think you have you're good to go.
There's no way they'll look into this.

While I appreciate the humor in your actions, I can't help gut think that you may have been able to accomplish a bit more if you had bought NRA memberships for ARFcommers, like me, who are not NRA members. Or, had given directly to the NRA-ILA. The NRA-ILA is one of the front line groups battling the antis here in CA, along with the CalGuns Foundation, and a SoCal law firm. Remember, CA sets a precedent. Some of the recent AWBs in Congress and other localities bear more than a slight resemblance to CA's AWB (ie, AW List, "Evil Features", etc).
Look at the sticky up at the top of GD. We have two members of respectable character running for the NRA board. Personally, I think that is the battle worth fighting for. The more voting members we have, then the greater our chances of getting folks on the NRA board that are EBR friendly. |
