RE: NRA needs your support
Although many of us disagree on what the NRA should and shouldn't do, overall they are for a great cause. I am like the rest of you, I get too many mailings asking for money, but the trash can is only a short throw away. It is very unfortunate to see those liberal SOB's creating laws limiting gun purchases as well as specific guns one can own, but if it weren't for the NRA it would be alot worse. I will continue to renew my membership annually and at some point buy a lifetime membership. Like one of the above mentioned earlier, if you don't support what the NRA does, you have no reason to bitch about the outcome of the laws passed. There isn't another organization that I am aware off that has the pull or stands up for us gun owners like the NRA does.

If it weren't for the NRA we would probably already be a gun-less America! This is a prime example of devide and conquer! Limiting gun purchases!
Building a museum to promote gun ownership, or asking for donations now and then, is no excuse for not being a member! The NRA may not be perfect but they are the strongest defender of the Second Amendment, bar none!
You are with us, a freeloader, or against us! Really if you are not with us, you are against us PERIOD!

RE: NRA needs your support
I am for the NRA and I am for the museum.
We need to share our enthusiasm and have an organization large enough to stand up for us collectively.
I also buy from shops who support the NRA, like Numrich and Cheaper Than Dirt. Places who solicit members or, in the latter's case, ask for a small contribution at check-out.
Now, if only we could steer our youth from the PS3, and the like, and get them outdoors!!

That's somewhat crappy, but then again, who buys more than one pistol every month?

You are either part of the problem or part of the solution. There is no fence to ride on this one.

RE: NRA needs your support
I don't like all the mail asking for money but at least the NRAfights for the right ofan honest citizen to have the right to own a gun. As others have said if I don't want to give it goes in the trash. Most of the tree huggers and liberals only want the criminals to have guns. Look at our nation's capital. It is illegal to own a hand gun but that doesn't stop all the killings. As sportsmen we need to stop arguing with each other and present a unified front to stand up against the liberals who want to take away our rights to own a gun or even to hunt. I'm a NRA member and the gun range I belong to requires NRA membership.

RE: NRA needs your support
New Jersey took a hit from the ANT-GUNNERS this past week.
If you did not hear about .... read below please. Even if this does not effect you in your state.... it may. You know how these liberal leaders feed off each other. Please read the following from the NRA.
DW
On February 8, by a vote of 6-0, the New Jersey Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee voted in favor of A-3511, the gun-rationing bill that would criminalize the purchase of more than one handgun per month by honest citizens.
The vote was preceded by a public hearing during which the Mayor of Jersey City and his police chief -- embarrassed by the recent defeat in court of their own local gun rationing ordinance - attacked multiple handgun sales as a cause of crime, even when those sales are made to law-abiding purchasers.
Second Amendment leaders and activists from New Jersey decried the bill as misguided "feel-good" legislation that will fail to reduce crime because it only targets sales by licensed dealers to law-abiding citizens who have been carefully pre-screened by the State. Numerous other flaws in the bill were raised.
Now that A-3511 has been passed out of committee, it is positioned to make its way to the full Assembly. Based on statements made by several legislators, the bill is likely to be amended first.
