Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Join the NRA

I'm in. Joined Gun Owner's of America too!

Hopefully won't have to change my avatar, but we'll see. I hope Trump's playing them like a fiddle and not folding like a suit.

Eat [bleep] and die.!

I joined the NRA last week.

I never thought I would join, especially under Trump's tenure.

I also have been considering the NRA Lifetime Membership.

But at my age, a One-Year Membership could carry me
across the finish line!

Been a lifetime member for over 15 years. Sent a letter to NRA to remove me from their membership last week. Stating to them I can no longer in good conscience continue to be a member of their organization. Their agenda is radical-to oppose every and any legislation. And they vilify all who opposes that agenda. So flame on with immature middle fingers and comments. I expect nothing less from many on this site. I could care less.

When and why has the NRA been made to look like it's a private business.
This is a group of 5 million members who want to ensure that their rights and their children's rights will be upheld. If any amendment can be destroyed then they all can. I personally have no use for an AR rifle but that has nothing to do with it. Next it will be pistols and then any semi auto rifle or shotgun. Fugu them. Ed k

So, let's blame the entire membership of the APA for the opioid crisis. And Medicare fraud.

Wow.

Precisely. Bunch of rabid dogs.

WTF is this site (and world) turning into? [bleep] sad.

benquick; Paddler,

NEITHER of you will be missed. - Don't let the doorknob hit you in the toucas, on the way out of the door.

The pain doctors, and doctors generally, have contributed mightily to the opioid crisis and are complicit in many overdose deaths. I think the root cause was when JCAHO made hospital accreditation contingent on aggressively treating pain. Their slogan was "Pain is the Fifth Vital Sign". The problem with that is that pain is a symptom, not a sign, and it's not vital. So here is the main accreditation body in the country sloganizing the practice of medicine. They have quintupled overdose deaths since 2000. They came out last year with a statement trying to distance themselves from the fallout, but they own it.

Cariboujack,


'WELL SAID. - Each time that I see leftist foolishness on TV, it reminds me WHY I'm a LIFE MEMBER of TSRA/NRA & WHY I'm paying on a higher level of membership for both groups. = DIMocRATS extremists/traitors make me GAG.

We'll come and go as we please, thank you. Deal.

I have been a life member since 1968 and just upgraded to benefactor. I also got my friend to renew his membership which had lapsed. I would not have done this except for the attack on the NRA.

So how does an organization evolve and change? By listening to and consulting with its membership and their representation.
Not by its membership "quitting" and running away with their hands in their pockets.

Firearms ownership is a God given right. The 2nd Amendment stipulates what GOV'T can't do to infringe on that right. The NRA has held that view since it's inception. It is in their by-laws. Only when there is a clearly defined definition of "common sense" can there be further discussion regarding GOV'T infringement.

Only through membership does one have a voice in an organization. Any organization. An organization can not be swayed or influenced by a non-voting entity. Membership is the avenue to vote either by direct vote or proxy.

It has been made clearly obvious throughout history that those who are bent on disarming a population rarely have the best intentions for that population in mind.
There is a voice that speaks loudly to protect gun ownership rights. The NRA membership.

Brand new 2 year member hear, after watching Dana Loesch torch the media at CPAC. I felt i had to join.

Easy you just need to be a [bleep] commie lib jackwagon.

IMHO Wayne LaPierre, Chris Cox, Dana Lash and others in the NRA are all doing a fantastic job representing us. I wish I was as articulate as they are in defending our second amendment. Unfortunately I am not.

I believe the second amendment to the constitution is clear in our right to bear arms, any arms, to defend ourselves against a tyrannical government.

The NRA is not perfect, no organization is but they are there leading the charge. Join the NRA, support the NRA, we are in a fight for our liberty. Just do not sit there and do nothing. The opposition is counting on that. Those who would take away our second amendment rights away well organized and financed. The NRA is grassroots.

I am the NRA! Life Member and I give money(s) several times a year in support of them. Monday was another $250.

The present NRA needs to undergo radical change. Or die. It will never change from within, just look at the replies to my posts. We're dealing with hard right wing ideologues here. They must be marginalized, their voices ignored. The general public won't put up with their congressional representatives doing the NRA's bidding for long. Gun control is coming, each school shooting has and will continue to increase pressure on Congress.

Leave God out of this. Saying gun ownership is a God given right is preposterous on its face.

We don't need to influence the NRA, no need to work from within. No need to drive a stake through its heart, either. We only need to eliminate the undo influence it has on legislation, and this is beginning now. They can only be seen as a radical fringe group, this view is only supported by their behavior in the eyes of younger generations. The future looks bleak for the NRA so long as they maintain their no negotiation hard line. Good luck.

Why are you here instead of hanging out at the Daily KOS?
