That is a good deal if you are destitute, but I think it is prudent to throw them a few bucks if you are able.

I don't agree with everything that the NRA does, but they do seem to have the ability to positively affect legislation, and that takes financial resources.

I am with you re not agreeing with everything the NRA does, I could really do without the weekly junk mail.

The important thing is to get folks to sign up to provide a strong voice in support of our 2A rights. The NRA is millions strong but we could always use a few million more.

I am a NRA life member.

I renewed my membership just last week. The 2nd Amendment Insures The First.

I have been a life member since the mid-1970s.

I usually give them $50-100 every year. As others have said, I don't agree with everything, but they are a single, cohesive force that can get congress to sit up and take notice of what they have to say. This is a lot more than I can do by myself.

I quit tossing my money that way a decade or more ago. It's simply feel-good stuff IMO. IF the NRA is so effective why do we have all the anti- legislation that we do? Why in most states do you have to go through a permit process to exercise a Constitutional right? I've heard the tired argument that it would be so much worse if the NRA hadn't been here. Fine. Let it get worse and maybe people will take notice.

For anyone who chooses to belong, I wish you well and fully acknowledge it as your choice to make. I just wish those of us who choose not to participate in it would be accorded the same right to choose without being accused by implication of not being "right thinking" or "freedom loving".

Thanks for the link! I'm going to pass it on to all my left thinking freedom loving American friends. Who knows? Maybe we'll build up a big enough membership to change the name!

Just kidding, of course.

I will bite, what's wrong with saying that doing your part to protect the 2A is right thinking?

Aren't we all Americans who want what's best for our country?

Ridgewalker, thanks for that link. My wife wants to enroll in a gun course and most instruction faculties want her to be a NRA member. She wishes that the NRA had a family plan.

LMTC, have you looked into Gun Owners of America? I've been with them longer than the NRA.
BTW, is your handle from Lewis Machine & Tool Company?

LMTC is for Little Miami Trading Company. When I need a group to lobby for my Constitutional rights I realize the battle is already lost. As I said, I will not ridicule someone else for choosing to join/support such groups (in fact, my true conservative nature requires that I defend and uphold a person's right to free association). I found the opening line of this thread presumptuous, as it seemed to imply that ALL right thinking and freedom loving Americans would naturally be interested in a free NRA membership. I believe myself to be right thinking and freedom loving and I have zero interest in an NRA membership. It might have been better stated as "If you are interested in the NRA, they are offering........". JMO.

I doubt there is anyone in this country who does not have a group lobbying for them to keep their rights. It is just whether you support the group or not. I don't mean just the NRA there either.

Thanks Prokop.......You remind us all how important freedom is. I'm not a gun person, but I just bought a 3 year subscription. Some of these posts revealed to me that it is the right thing to do.

If you're going to quote me please make it germaine. I never said there weren't such groups out there, but rather when I NEED them I believe the battle is lost. If I am not supporting them, not advocating for them, not leaning on them as a supposed basis for the exercise of a right, they are not lobbying for me IMO. They cannot be presumed to lobby FOR me simply because they exist.
