I have been an NRA member in the past, but let my membership lapse, mainly because I got tired of the constant pleas for money and lots of spam like email. So.... Today I joined again. I feel NRA is the only truly effective group protecting our rights. And if I was deplorable before, I am really deplorable now. Feels pretty good.

Good to hear! If you plan to continue to be a member you should look into being a life member. Every once in a while there are specials to be a life member for $300. Another option is to do the easy pay life program where you pay the full $1,000 but it is broken up into $50 payments. I did the easy pay as I wanted to give the full $1,000 but couldn’t afford to do it all at once. I forget how often the $50 payments were.

Congratz for joining and lending support to the most effective outfit for advocating our rights. No, I don't agree with them all the time but strongly feel we're better off because of them.
There are numerous threads with info on how to stop most of the calls and mail if it offends you like it does me. Just call them. Money bomb thread. Mail Emails calls

WRT the discounts vs. full price vs. full price/easy pay, if you go the discount route, nothing stops you from voluntarily contributing additional funds at any time of your choosing.
I would encourage all gun owners, and those who might want to own a gun in the future to join the NRA as a life member, and upgrade their membership level each time they get a discounted opportunity to do so.This message has been edited. Last edited by: architect,

This time around, I upgraded to Endowment Life. And they offered the Easy-Pay plan for that as well.

The NRA was the first lifetime membership I've ever bought. That was in 1999.
I've bought two other lifetime memberships to other groups since.
At the time, the money wasn't insignificant but I got the wife's approval as she thought it was a good thing also.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I did the 5 year membership thru Hickok45 site. 'Bout all I could afford but wanted to help make a difference.
(Sounds as if YouTube may be kicking him & other gun-oriented folks off if they "advertise" gun related sellers, such as Bud's, on their channels.)

I went life five or six years ago. Where on the NRA www site do they explain how to go beyond that level?

Glad you have decided to rejoin.
I understand the NRA is not everyone's cup of tea, but I feel it works for me.

Good thanks for doing your part nationally. Now go and join your state organization too.
In Texas we have the TSRA at 37K strong. Which is much lower than it should be here in Texas. But you get the point!

The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity.
