Giving away NRA memberships

[thelaststand]

I'm giving away 2 associate memberships (no magazine). If you want one post up your views on an AWB, mag capacity ban and private sales. If you do receive a membership please maintain it every year.

If you want to help give away memberships:

Go to the NRA website:

https://membership.nrahq.org/forms/gift.asp?campaignid=XC013245

You can gift any type. The $25 one is a discounted full membership. There is also a $10 associate membership. Go to the tab above the options that should be right above the lifetime membership option and select the one that starts with "Junior, distinguished and other memberships"

Find a post with an answer you like that has not been gifted yet and send a pm. You will need to get name, date of birth, address, and phone number and magazine (associate memberships don't get magazines). Also post up the profile name of who you sponsored. Please help out, we need numbers. A $10 associates membership won't set you back much. Gift these to your whole family and your friends.

Please help out. There are 80 million gun owners and 4 million NRA members and 5 million unique members of pro gun groups. Each member of a pro gun group is supporting the rights of 16 other gun owners who are not members of any pro gun group.

It's strange. When I post this in ar15.com I could gift 10 NRA memberships in 5 minutes but here. Crickets.

Perhaps all of us are already members? Possible but unlikely.

Cool offer! Thanks for your generosity. I'm sure someone will want one.

It is absolutely possible that every viewer is already a member. I did a poll on www.ar15.com and 97% of them are NRA members.

I tried gifting a few memberships,... but the responses I got was that they didn't want to give the information I needed to do it. Wish there was a way for like me to order, pay, then they send me something like a secret number to give to the recipient to use to redeeem it. That way no information is seen by either party.

Yes most of my family members are already members. Or DEM's and would sue me for adding their name to the "list". Those here are a core of RKBA enthusiasts that understand the issues IMHO. You are pretty much preaching to the choir on this site I am afraid. Anyway thank you for the effort for our cause.

I forwarded your message to two co-workers.....everyone else I know is a member already. Thank YOU for your generosity though!

I don't currently have a membership so I'll bite.

AWB: Facts: 1. Most gun crime is criminal on criminal, so more laws won't really help much. 2. Most gun crime uses handguns. The cheaper and smaller the better. Thus predominantly long-gun regulations are wrong-headed. 3. Most stipulations of the AWB are cosmetic and not based in any way on what makes a firearm more "criminal" 4. Firearms of the types that are covered under the AWB have been around for over 100 years. The founding fathers even had access to one that was functionally similar to modern semi-autos. As it was not exempted from the 2nd amendment the modern versions shouldn't be either. (I'm referring to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girandoni_Air_Rifle ) Conclusion: The AWB is not intended to stop crime or make people safer: it is intended to remove a core right of the american populace and oppress them.

Mag Capacity Ban: This one pisses me right off. As I stated above, criminals tend to use small handguns, which are just as happy with a 7 round magazine as a 12. High capacity magazines tend to be rare in crime. When very large round counts do happen in a crime, multiple magazines are used. Conclusion: The law does little to impact crime, but much to curtail self-defense and shooting sports.

Private Sales: I'm going to be a little bit deviant here: Every private sale I've done, I've researched the buyer, including a fairly simple background check. It isn't as in-depth as the NICS or the state check done here in Oregon, but I know I felt better selling my handguns after doing the checks. As for a federal mandate enforcing it, anything that restricts or limits passing/selling a firearm to a trusted family member is verboten in my book.
