If you're already a Life Member - the NRA Benefactor membership was only $250 extra right now.
It's handy to a have a Life Membership so I don't have to remember to renew it but it certainly shouldn't be a reason to stop sending $$. Especially considering that our current administration is the most aggressively anti-gun group we've ever seen and the incredible hysteria resulting from all the recent tradgedies is giving them more leverage than they've ever had to attack our 2nd Amendment rights!!

When me and my buddies got ours, they mentioned 600.00$, told them "I wanted the 300.00$" they transferred me to another line and sold it to myself and others for 300.00$ Nothing about a "sponsor" Thanks everybody!
Forget the past the past is gone forever, right now is where it's happening.

Isn't this a bit like asking for a discount on a charitable donation?? Seems to defeat the principle to me. It takes cash to keep this organization running and fighting the battle with the numb headed liberals. Is say $50 for a two year membership to much to ask?

I paid $300 in 1972 for life membership. This is a real deal. DO IT!

So, money (donations, support) should garner leverage, no?
But by giving a perpetual consideration ($$) to an entity to which we are now aligned with... leverage on their future actions/behavior become compromised. Liberal are you? I don't like Liberals.

My point is, at any price what we get from them is a bargain.
Thanks for getting the word out, we need all the members we can get. I could NOT agree with you more. Wife, lifer, son, lifer. Me endowment member. My boss is a Patron Life member. All we need now is about 79,000,000 more members.

really appreciate this link
am going to get life memberships for my wife and 3 kids.
like a lot of things for family, sometimes you do things for them that aren't necessarily their first choice or desire, but you do them because it's good for them.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

I've got a young friend who is a neat, hard-working guy who helps me out alot, but he doesn't have any spare cash due to raising a family with two young kids --- good kids. I sold a couple rifles today and am going to buy this young fellow a Life Membership with some of the money. I know it will make his day and it'll feel good to help him and the NRA. I'd just pee it away on a new lefty Savage 17HMR anyway, and I can wait to get one.

Thanks. I thought about sending the money to the NRA/ILA, but I figured in the long run it would be better to sign up a new life member, and this young (30's) fellow deserves to know he's appreciated. He's alot of help to me and I'm proud to call him a friend.

I signed up today and got a 25 dollar gift card at Cabelas. A mag subscription to boot. Not bad for 35 bucks. The lady signed up 60 people as of 12 pm. Thanks Cabelas for having them have a booth there. Many will sign up that would not otherwise.

You beat me by 3 years. I then went with Endowment in '96, Patron in '00 and Benefactor in '01.

I figure on calling today and signing Tide Jr. up for a Life Membership. What do I have to do in reference to a sponsor?

They asked me for that in the beginning of the call to see who they were talking to, but I didn't hear the word "sponsor" mentioned at all. I just called and told them I wanted to buy a Life Membership for a friend, gave them his name and address, birthday (optional), and which magazine he'd want --- then my credit card info and it's a done deal. He will get the Life Memeber card and stuff in 4 to 6 weeks because they are that far behind on processing stuff. Nice lady on the phone --- she kept thanking me and I kept thanking her for what they are doing for all of us.

WTF??? How does getting "steals" benefit the NRA??? Except maybe in the short term.

Wish they had a way to do this online. Looks like the online process is $1000 any way you slice it.
