I am a member, and yes the junk mail and phone calls are annoying. Why would I want to renew my membership if it doesn't expire for a year and a half? I guess if you just want the hat, or bag or whatever its fine, but for the folks who don't, we don't really need mail every month and calls every month.
Also what they tell us.
Please correct me if I'm wrong here, but they seem to tell me some unusual, absurd, almost unrealistic things about politicians/UN trying to take away our guns, which, to me doesn't make too much sense because most of congress after the election is republicans, who generally agree with the RKBA. While I believe them to an extent, is Hillary Clinton really out to round up all the guns via United Nations because the election went bad for liberals? I don't like her personally, but I would hope this isn't the case. What I'm trying to say here, is that it seems the scenarios they describe are a little more radical than they actually appear.
I googled this to find out what the deal was, and if the NRA was actually describing what is going on truthfully, without extending the story. The only thing I could find was this:

That article is nearly a year old, could it be possible that the UN just waited awhile to address the issue RIGHT NOW like the NRA claims, or is the NRA just misinformed and looking for $?
The latest call was on this subject (Hillary & UN) and asked me to pledge 75$ or 35$ to help this cause. I told them I was in a bad financial situation, and couldn't at this time (which is mostly true). I haven't seen this on the news anywhere, and I'm having trouble finding up to date information on this on the internet.
Just a little hesitant to believe 100% of what they say because it seems a little far fetched. I think this is just because I'm not one of the lobbyists in congress and I don't see how they put the money to good use, and actually find out/address the issues, but I still generally support them and their efforts.
