Why shoud I keep my NRA membership?
Speaker0311:
I dont see where the NRA is spending my money in my interest. Backing Harry Ried, this ammo ban coming out of nowhere, not sponsoring or promoting (as far as I can see) actual activism such as open carrying. In addition to constantly telling me OBAMAS GONNA GET YUR GUNS and begging for more money everytime I open the mail box.
Maybe Im just in a bad mood but this lifetime membership is probably going away tonight.
hackmeister:
Well there are doing some good things in Pennsylvania by suing municipalities that ignore the state's preemption laws:

My private range requires NRA membership as a pre-requisite. I think it has something to do with underwriting the club's insurance.
I'm generally very supportive of their support of shooting sports, and participate in some of their hosted clinics.
Politically I am more dismayed. I've begged and pleaded for the NRA to get involved with recent issues at our state level, but they do next to nothing.
Seems they prefer to make a big show at the national level - but in truth the real threats to our gun rights are at the local level.
Neither Obama, or congress will take away our guns - that'll happen one city council meeting at a time...
Alpha Mike:
If you have a lifetime membership. it really is not costing you anything (except for the extra junk mail).
The NRA does tend to "pick" it's fights. For a while it pretty much abandoned California, but now that we have won some significant lawsuits against the .GOV, they are back supporting the efforts of the locals.
just my $.02

I discarded my membership a few years ago and never looked back. Just another lobbyist pleading for more money to less with than I accomplish in a month. They have plenty of money. They don't need yours. Maybe when they run out they'll realize that schmoozing people at black tie, $600 dollar a plate dinners, while they auction off multi-thousand dollar guns to their best pals is not the way to preserve our Constitutional Rights. Then again......
