Why we need the NRA

[D. Hargrove]

I do not get the magazines or free gifts. Just tell them that on the website.

You have a choice of 3 different magazines, or none. I selected what mailings I wanted to receive -or not receive- with one phone call, decades ago.
I just don't understand why this is a constant complaint and excuse to not be a member when it is so easily avoided.

Some of us prefer not to be treated as sheep through marketing? IIRC I did call and I STILL got mail. Would prefer they spend the money I give them on actual issues instead of cheap gifts and alarmist marketing. But that's just me.

Joined last week!!! Because of all the crap DHoddy mentioned!! The out right ignoring what this kid was doing and then blaming AR rifles and the NRA is just disgusting behavior by the MSM/Leftists. The laws in place would have saved 17 children in Florida and also the church members in Texas!!!!

just ordered an 80% receiver from a buddy, who has done more for gun rights over the last 5 years than the nra has in the last decade.

Do a little research and gather data on what NRA gives in political donations, and what unions, sports groups, planned parenthood, etc. give. Then use that knowledge to help defend the NRA against some of the mis-guided attacks against NRA.

The NRA gives very little to PAC's compared to the Unions that donate to the democrats. We are talking billions more.

I'll just leave this right here....

Edit: There's a reason that the NRA is so hated by the left. Just sayin.

So if I rejoin.... is there a way to STOP the marketing harassment? Hasn't been that bad with GOA.

Read my op. We have posted multiple ways to opt out in this forum.

 

[dennishoddy]

Yes, especially when they're willing to compromise on our rights.

For example the fopa of 1986. Bump stocks.

I'm a member of the GOA because I don't believe in compromising our God given rights as citizens.

We're not puppets of the government. It should be the other way around.

Why hasn't the GOA even been mentioned in this or any other round of school shootings? Look real deep and try to analyze this.
When your done, you will understand that the GOA isn't crap in the fight against the gun grabbers.
The opposition doesn't even mention them in their arguments. Never!
They don't oppose them because they do nothing but take your money.
If your happy with that, continue to waste your money sending it to them.
It's one thing to have a great web page and a line of BS that says your going to oppose gun grabbers while raking in your money, and then doing nothing legislative to help the 2A.
You might want to reference the first post in this thread listing the other gun organizations that are "supposed" to lobby for us, and we have never heard of them before yesterday when I posted them.
Money takers, vs actual advocates for gun owners.

the nra is a red herring, scapegoat, and a money pit before it's a gun rights group.

dues are better spent on ammo, since that actually helps protect our rights...

Your so full of crap, it's embarrassing for you.

Who would that be, and why are the liberals not putting him on the front page to be vilified?
This one guy has done more than the NRA?
