markcic Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Just curious what is everyone's NRA membership level, if they are a member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el pres Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Life !! Its the only way !! Sure they have their issues and have gotten a bad rap once or twice. Other organizations come and go but when some anti comes out of a hearing saying ," we would of had it but that evil NRA lobby for the gun manufacturers twisted all the facts and yata yata" thats the guys getting my money. Everytime the antis are pissed they mention the NRA, must be doing something right!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ima45dv8 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I went with a 5 year last time to slow down the "Only 8 months left until your membership expires! Renew NOW!" notices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobert1 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I always choose 1 year. I like the gifts that they dangle in front of me to renew each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve J Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Life. I should have taken the discounted jump to endowment I received this winter. I hear that at the endowment level they quit sending you all the junk mail asking for more money. They do a lot of good politically. I just get tired of the mail.

I'll see if they stop sending more or less junk mail. The junk mail is frustrating because I continue to send them money and would rather see it not wasted on junk mail or trinkets.

Tim Egan Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 (edited) You can put your name on their list to not get their mailings, check out the nra.org website. Theve studied it, and they make a lot of money on their direct mailings. Everyone on this forum (in America anyway,) should be an NRA member. With out them looking out for the 2nd amendment, we'll be playing with wrist rockets and blow guns. Edited April 3, 2008 by Tim Egan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMS42 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I was an annual member for a number of years, but finally became a Life member when they raised the rate from $100.00 to $125.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can call them Membership Division anytime you want (well, working hours) and ask them to stop all the mailings. I did it a while back and haven't received anything but my copy of the Rifleman for years. All it takes is a five minute phone call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenTX Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I was annual for a number of years and finally bit the bullet and went Life about 30 years ago. I get aggravated with some of the dumb things they do, but the NRA has more influnce than any of the other groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Shooter Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I'm currently a life member...curious as to what, if any, benefit there is to upping that status. Anybody know?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipscbob Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Due to the agressive telemarketing they have been doing lately, I am currently enrolled at the "Pissed Off" membership level One year at a time for me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Sometimes it seems that they don't understand that they are becoming one of those things we all hate...a PITA...with all the phone calls, and $$ requests... Say what you want to, but Charleton Heston did more for them than Wayne LaPierre ever did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Norman Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 OK, here is my take on the NRA They are a real PITA. I hate the calls and all the mailers. I have had friend that I sign up quit because of the calls. I am a Life Member and have been for over 30 years. I got tired or it and called them, They still send and call, but at a greatly reduced rate. Should a shooter be a member? Damed straight. We are a minority, at least in teh view of the media. There are what, 4 million members and aledgedly 40 plus million gun owners inthe US. If we all joined, just even for one year what an effect that would have. Do I agree with everything the NRA does, No by a long shot, but they are there and they do more or less represent us. If you don't like the NRA, then join GOA and/or 2nd Amendment Foundation. The point is every gun owner or supporter of gun rights needs to be a member of a gun owners lobby group if we expect to keep our guns. If you can afford it, join two or more. Join your local or state federation. Remember they don't look at individuals and cross reference the lists. You join 4 times, there is a good likely hood that you are counted as 4 people. That adds to our potential power to guide legislation. But enough. Join, don't liek the mailings and calls, talk to them polietly and let them know to spend that money on getting more members, not driving current ones away. You will be heard.

Tom D. Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Big Shooter, No benefit of being an enhanced level life member that I am aware of. I upgraded to Endowment because I wanted to & figured the money was just another contribution. Hadn't thought about it but I don't get as much solicitation now.

ChrisStock Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 2yrs at a time for the wife and I both. We had the original intent of purchasing annual memberships, but when I called the NRA to sign up, they offered the 2nd year of membership for only a few $$ more for each of us.
