What's with this NRA-sanctioned marketing BS?

So about a month ago I get this DVD from some home defense place which was supposed to show defensive gun lessons. The documentation said that if I didn't want it, I had to ship it back... I called BS on that and dropped it in the trash. I didn't order it and I didn't want it...

Then today I get a "bill*" from them, pointing out that since I kept it, I own them $12.95... oh wait, it's actually twice that since my wife's an NRA member, too.

I'm very unimpressed and disappointed that the NRA would support such gorrilla marketing tactics. Our local newspaper tired the same crap, dropping a "free" issue in the driveway, then trying to bill me for it... didn't work then and it isn't going to work now.

* Granted, in the fine print, it does say that it's not an invoice, but it's certainly written up to appear as one. So what, the NRA has to resort to tricking people into sending their advertisers money? I am not impressed.
 
You'll learn, don't read the stuff they send. If you want to send money, send money and trash the rest. And then e-mail 'em and get put on the reduced mailings list. It's on the web site in the FAQs.

Got the same thing today, I'm gonna watch it and then send it back to'em.
It doesn't really bother me that bad to be honest.
Besides postage is prepaid, so it's kinda like free gun Netflix! lol
