Simple yes or no. Your name won't be shown. This is to see what percentage are active members. With 100 million gun owners and 5 million NRA members, that relates to about 5% of the gun population. Being a gun board, I expect it to be much higher but how much higher is it really? No need to explain why it is yes or no, just a simple vote will do.
 
I have been a member for 40 years, a Life Member for 36 years and an Endowment Member for just over one year. I have contributed to the Golden Eagles and NRA-ILA.

NRA plus NRA-PVF.
 
Stepped up from annual member to life member in March of 2009.

As of today, there's almost 41,000 views of the NRA Membership thread of mine stickied over at TFL. I wish I knew how many of those 41,000 might have signed up and are still members!

Dad was about as far back as my memory goes, and when I started making my own money, I became a member.

Bugs the heck out of me, the folks who love to hunt & shoot & yet are either too lazy or have some false belief they shouldn't be a member.
 
Any negative view on the NRA from days gone past should be put aside in these times. The NRA is always mentioned when the politicians talk of further gun control. The republicans do fear a negative NRA rating as well, for good reason. They may not be perfect and they may have made some questionable moves in the past but right now they are on the front lines leading the charge against this present onslaught from the government. Right now they are the best we have and they are on our side.
 
Larry: I was a member for around 15 years and let my membership lapse because of their political pussyfooting in the Colorado 4th Congressional District elections 5 years ago. I contacted their political agent for Colorado at the time and exchanged a number of e-mails with him trying to get clarification of why they would back an incumbent leftist D over a solid "A" challenger from the state legislature. His answers did not assure me that they had the best interests of the Second Amendment in mind, but that they wished to be perceived as "bipartisan" as if that will ever happen. I have been rethinking my position but I am still waiting to see how they handle themselves in the midterm elections. Blind obedience to an organization does not produce any better results than blind obedience to a political party.
 
Joined as a Lifer in the early 60's...upgraded to Endowment a few years ago. Spend most of free time activly promoting 2A. I do not regret a minute of it.

I dropped out of the NRA when LaPierre and Cox sold out to Reid for getting a shooting range in Nevada. They also donated $5,000 to his campaign fund in the 2010 election. NRA did not support the guy running against Reid's kid for Gov. Wayne is not worth his 1 million a yr. income.
 
My dad signed me up years ago.

I'm an Endowment member now.

Wife's a lifer.



Time to sign my kids up.
 
I was for about 20 years, until 1986. I havent given them a dime since they let the machine gun ban go by without a peep, before or after.
 
While I've owned firearms for nearly 33 years, I've only been a member for the last 4. Fot the longest time, I allowed their over-the-top marketing strategy turn me off from joining. In time I have come to realize that any group that causes fits for gun grabbers like Feinstein and Shumer can't be all that bad:evil:
 
Yes, for about 20 years.

Like any organization, there a things that frustrate me but I don't think you can find a bigger gorilla to put your money behind.
