At some point i could not tell the difference from the homeless guy down the street with the cardboard sign and the NRA
The difference is the homeless guy can do nothing to protect your rights, while the NRA does a rather good job of it.

My credit card payment was processed immediately, but I haven't heard a damned thing from them since. This is inexcusable, and can't be blamed on staffing, IMO. No reason they can't send the membership info immediately upon processing of the payment. None.
So far, I am very disappointed in the NRA.

scrat said:Can you imagine if everyone picked up van loads of homeless people during election times. You could make the difference on which way the poles go for a few dollars. a lot less than what the candidates spend on election campaigns.
Sometimes I think 50% half of the internet is taken up with people complaining about something.

1 Year Membership $25.00 (Regularly $35)
2 Year Membership $60.00
3 Year Membership $85.00
5 Year Membership $125.00
You save $10/year if you join for one or five years. But you only save $5/year if you join for two and $6.66/year if you join for three.
Interesting.
However after months and months and years and years of asking me for money i had enough. If all i was going to do was spend money for my sticker that says nra and a magazine that i hardly read, then they could save on the printing and mailing me useless things and go after someone naieve and younger thats going to send them money.
this is going to sound silly..... but I've been forbidden from joining the JPFO.
...
I'll probably still join, just using a postal money order.
P-32 said:I have to admitt, I don't agree with everything the NRA does. BUT, if every gun owner in the US of A was a NRA member, we wouldn't have to be putting up with stupid gun laws. That's the bottom line. The demorats are afraid of the numbers the NRA membership has and this seems to be about the only thing they are afraid of.
So what's everyone waiting for? I cant get every gun owner to sign up by myself! Don't take no for an answer, don't take "OK, I'll do it when I get home", don't take "one member won't make a difference". EVERY member makes a difference! If one member of THR were to hand me a dollar I wouldn't be able to by a matchbox car, but if every member handed me a dollar I could buy a new truck! Get every gun owner you know to join and join NOW! If every THR member were to get a friend to join the NRA and each of them got a friend to join and each of them were to get a friend to join.... See where I'm going with this? OK, some THR members may not get someone, so others of us need to get more than one! Get busy folks, make a promise to yourself to protect your rights by getting every gun owner in the USA to be a NRA member! NOW is the time for all good gun owners to come to the defense of thier rights!
My wife just signed up for ten dollars (no magazines). Think how membership totals would jump if all of our spouses joined!!!
