NRA Benefits?

2nd on the endless flow of junk mail and spam you're buddies can expect to receive.

Oh, and the 'free' gifts they send and want you to pay for or mail them back...on YOUR dime!

Last year was my last year with the NRA and AAA.

I've never gotten any of that crap. Are you sure this is not from an affiliated advertiser, not the NRA? Something you opted in for by mailing in a coupon or responding to a web site? This is one of the things the NRA does do wrong, IMHO--a bit too free with the advertisers they associate with.

A phone call to the NRA would have allowed you to opt out of all of the junk mail, and email.

although the NRA isn't perfect I think if you are a gun owner or non gun owner you should join. But I wouldn't force anyone to.

You know you can opt out of their junk mail. From the NRA's own FAQ:

Q: How can I reduce the amount of mail I receive from the NRA?
A: Simply email us at [email protected] or dial 800-NRA-3888 and request to be placed on the "Do Not Promote" list. This will significantly reduce the amount of mail you receive without affecting important mailings, magazine service, or your membership renewal.

If that is your reason for leaving the NRA it doesn't seem like a very good one.

Also, this is not something that they and they alone do. Contribute money to almost any charity or political party and you instantly become their new best friend. Or, email your representatives and get flooded with email from them, their party, and various related organizations.

As for the "free" free gifts, they really are free. Since they sent them to you unsolicited, postal regulations state that it is yours to keep for free.

I asked to be put on their in-house 'don't call' list and haven't heard a peep out of them since. I wasn't getting that many calls--maybe twice a month. So I don't know what's up with that.

Yes, I received two 'free' videos and two 'free' coins that they wanted payment for or send them back on my dime.

threw them all in the trash...junk.
