[QUOTE="Boehlertaught, post: 2097183, member: 14520"] Patron Member here. The NRA does not send the soliciations. Rumor is they also don't pay the company that does...the company takes a percentage cut of what is donated. As for being a member of the NRA or any organization. You probably will not agree 100% with everything they do. But, when a member of the NRA, you do become a number. And the government looks at the numbers. There is approximately 4.5 million NRA members, and the politicians listen. There's estimated to be 80 million gun owners in the USA, wow what if half of them were NRA (or OSA) members? The NSSF estimates that 14 million people hunt each year. Wow, why are all of them not NRA members? Sorry, to rant but I do feel strongly about being a number at the NRA and thus a voice in Washington. Oh, and no, I don't like the mailings either but others here are correct that it can be turned off. [/QUOTE]
