$300 NRA life membership ( NEW )

[cue]

I would love to receive this also

I'm a life member and haven't seen this offer yet. I did get the offer to become a life member with the $400 check though.

I'd like to sign one of my kids up. Maybe I need to call them and ask.

Glenn Bartley, it doesn't affect your own Life Membership benefits.

Both my sons are now Legacy Members and it hasn't affected any of my own Life Member benefits.

The "legacy" part of it merely implies that the whole idea of firearms ownership (and other related things) will be carried forward to a future generation. "Legacy," in that sense.

Hopefully, many generations.

So you don't have to die for the Legacy Membership to take effect.

NRA right now needs members to boost its political impact and make each of us gun lobbyists. Five million is better than four million. And two million (or whatever) Life Members is better than only one million --proving that the membership is highly dedicated, not just folks who signed up just to get hunting mags and The American Rifleman

And the NRA needs contributions. Let me add that any dollars sent to just about any RKBA organization will help --it doesn't have to be the NRA, although that happens to be my own preference because of the "gorilla in the room" effect, among other things.

I understand that the Brady Campaign has been soliciting contributions and new members for the same reason.

The Heller decision, while a "win," left a lot of work to be done in terms of lawsuits in other venues and in terms of defining what is "reasonable."

Really don't understand why they want to limit it like this, and make it such a hassle. Every person that could get on board puts $300 in the till, and adds permanent head count.

My guess is that they saw a distinct drop in the number of $1000 memberships sold. Once everybody finds out about the $300 option, who would pay a grand? Somebody who wants to join the NRA but doesn't know a single person who is already a member? That can't be a whole lot of people.

I got in with tucker, and if I get one of those letters, I'll make sure it doesn't go to waste.

Maybe the case. Have no idea how many were joining at $1K. But I wonder if it isn't smarter to put $1200 in the till & add 4 times the head count @ $300/ea. I'd bet at the $300 level, they'd do better than 4/1. Especially with the economy the way it is.

May I respectfully, but most emphatically, disagree?
