NRA's Woes

Post by GFK » Fri Apr 26, 2019 4:29 pm

Is this new to anyone else besides me? I have been having my doubts though.

NRA has a pending lawsuit against Cuomo for violating their 1st Amendment rights and are suing him for damages. I hope they screw him to the wall.

Unfortunately, membership in NRA is required to be a member in the sportsmen club I am in. It is part of our insurance requirements.

I've been a member for years.

I'm just going to ride it out and see what happens.

May just switch to the GOA in time.

I've been a life member for a long time. I'm not going to turn my back on the NRA because accusations have been made against the leadership, especially when so much good has been done over the years. We can change leadership.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Who else is strong enough to preserve our 2'nd ammendment.
Trust me ... I will not get political. Just assumed, maybe in-correctly, that anyone who owns a gun would be a member.
I will continue my life long support!
BTW...our best range around requires NRA membership.

If they do option 2 I might think of rejoining. They even had a Russian in the mix.

I dropped my membership some years back.
Got sick and tired of all the phone calls always wanting more money.
Like the GOA, much better.

That's another reason why I like year to year membership. I hesitated to rejoin the 2nd year many years ago and when they called, I told them that they wasted all my money on mailings and I get too many phone calls. They put me on a "reduced" list. For some reason now, I hardly get any and the ones I do get are a little interesting.

I let my membership lapse this year for a number of reasons and my phone seems to have been blowing up ever since. I never answer a call from a number I don't recognize and occasionally I'll do a reverse look-up, just so I can block the obvious spam/robocalls. The vast majority have been from private, "safe" numbers, so I assume it's at least partly recruitment calls.
Will look into GOA. NRA seems to be a mess right now.

I’ve joined three times over many years, and each time I let it lapse due to the constant mailings and demands for my attention. If there was a way to completely stop that, I would join and stay joined. I did like the American Rifleman. I agree that Wayne seems to be a little unhinged.

Ask like I did. It's worth a try. My try worked.

In the meantime, I just got an E-mail that North is out as President.

I'm not real sure what that means at this point.

I also let my membership lapse years ago. I kind of got tired of them. I'll have to look into the GOA too.

Just looked into and joined the GOA (Gun Owners of America) Thanks for brining them up.
