NRA thread

well, inlioght of recent events, I have decided to join the National rifle association to protect my 2nd amendment rights. who else has taken this step to preserve our constitution?

 

i signed up for their free membership

 

is that free for virginian's? because i know that they are based out of virginia

 

I'm a Life Member of the NRA, a member of Gun Owners of America (GOA), a member of Pennsylvania Firearms Owners Association (PFOA), and a member of several local gun clubs.

National and regional organizations are great to joint because they protect our 2A rights on a Federal/National level. I congratulate and thank you for your joining the NRA.

Now, for anyone who hasn't already joined a local range...please do so ASAP. Local ranges help keep our rights alive on a grass roots level and help ensure there are places to introduce new shooters to the sport and help ensure them for future generations. Without these places, shooting will become a thing people "speak of", but can never find a place to do. And don't forget, they are places where we go and have fun ourselves.

Urban sprawl will be the death of shooting sport yet...

 

I have been a member for some time now, followed my father.

free membership to nra

The free membership is not a full fledged version of what they offer. You dont get a free magazine, free hat, etc. But you are a member.

 

there was a promotion going around a month or so ago, free year membership

 

I joined for the first time this year, and I'm happy to do so.

 

Member for the last 15 years or so.

 

i joined via the free year membership thing here a while back, but i'll become a full fledged member before too long. it worth it.

 

NRA member for 8 years.

 

life member for 2 yrs now

 

Been a member for a few years now; just signed up my wife and son.

 

what does a membership do?

 

It represents a huge voting block of people; people that vote.

 

so membership is more representative of a belief or whatever.... there aren't really any "activities" involved??

membership fees go towards lobbying i would assume?

 

The NRA has activites and conventions and such. But yeah, mostly lobbying.

 

and discounts on stuff. the full membership gives you the ability to get promotional deals at participating places on guns and ammo. you get several free goodies from them. a t shirt, bumper sticker, duffel bag, and you get 5000$ towads insurance on yourself as well as 1000$ insurance on your guns. as well as the satisfaction that your signing up for something that actually matters.

 

what would be the difference?
