I just buy guns, ammo and vote accordingly. The 2nd Amendment protects our right to bear as we dont need any Washington lobby group to uphold our right. If we ever do need a group like the NRA to protect our rights then the Constitution isnt worth the paper written on and our nation is in dire need of help.
I see that "springwalk" hasn't showed up to defend his position. Maybe he is a troll.
Nope, search his post history...he's made this argument and defended it many times.
Some people will go to any lengths to remain in denial.
The ironic thing is that NRA membership dues don't go to fund lobbying efforts in Washington - they support the NRA's traditional programs teaching marksmanship, gun safety, etc. The NRA ILA is the group that lobbies, and they're separate entities.
As an NRA Member you receive:
* NRA's black and gold shooter's cap or another gift depending on the promotion.
* Your choice of NRA magazines: America's 1st Freedom, American Rifleman or American Hunter
* A personalized membership card
* An NRA member decal
* $10,000 for Life Members and $5,000 Annual Members in Hunter's Accident (A,D, & D) insurance
* $2,500 of ArmsCare coverage (This plan covers insured firearms, air guns, bows and arrows against theft, accidental loss, and damage. Activation required.)
* Discounts on car rentals and interstate moves and, if you meet credit criteria, an NRA VISA card.
The insurance and magazine, to me, are worth the money standing alone, besides the other benefits.
Also, for those who complain about the mail they receive from the NRA, it takes only a moment's work to be placed on their "do not promote" list by emailing your request to this email address:
