I dont own a black gun, but have Supported the NRA for over 30 years. Could not the ” Cast Bullet Assn” al least put up a small logo next to Freechex and Hunters Supply that says ” Support The NRA". Its the only voice we have, I know not always perfect but who is? Thankyou, Pete in Montana

Another sencond on that.
I only own one self loading rifle and that is a Garand. I have no desire to own or shoot any ARs or AKs, but support the rights of those who do and want to.
The NRA has been on the job for well over a century and while not a perfect voice is the best voice we have.
I am a life member.

I wish it were are simple as all of that, but it isnt. I will look into the requirements the NRA has and if possible get it up there.

R.Dupraz Yea!! What they said!!
If someone else had of done to me what I did to myself . . . I'd have killed him. Humility is an asset. Heh - heh.

I don't support the NRA, they turned in my shooting competition scores to military recruiting offices when I was under age and without my consent or my parents consent. To me, the NRA is just a list of verified gun owners at risk to be legislated against.

A long time ago there were a lot of inappropriate things done. Things were looked at from a much different perspective then they are today & therefore accepted as appropriate behavior. As young men our privacy & even our right to life was not respected. We were so young and were no more than the proverbial “Manchurian Candidates” . . . cannon fodder for the war system. I was a young man & father & scared to death of the Vietnam War. My draft number was 26 and off I went to Fort Polk, LA.. Things were looked at through a different window then. What was done to you was wrong Gary . . . a lot of things back then were wrong.
The NRA wasn't perfect back then & it's not perfect now. But I hate to see where shooters like you & I would be without them. I will continue to support the NRA. Call it “Blind Faith” if you like . . . but it's what I choose to do.

Without the political power and legal litigation of the NRA, I think that is an indisputable fact that gun ownership and the shooting sports would only be a distant memory today.
Some time back when Joe Foss was the president of the NRA, He came to SD to speak one evening in Sioux Falls. His topic that night was very close to what we are talking about here. And I will always remember his reply to a guy that refused to join the NRA because of something that he disagreed with.
Joe's reply was:
“Are you married?"
“Yes".
” Do you always agree with your wife".
“Well,No"
“Why don't you leave her then?...

Pat, Good one. Now if we can get the guys that brush it off every year to put out alittle $$$$ every year, think of the extra power in numbers we would have. Do you guys here us? Thankyou to fellow NRA Members. Pete

Human nature is a strange thing. If somebody or some organization says, thinks or does something with which we disagree, we are through with them for life, in spite of the things they said, thought and did with which we agree.
Is that the way we would like others to deal with us? I think most likely not.

There a hundred things about the NRA I don't like but the one thing they do well is gun rights. They are the biggest dog in the yard when it come to lobbyists in Washington. The dogs and frogs in the house and senate listen to them, however reluctantly, every time they talk. I feel like that is worth paying dues. Without their diligence, the disciplines that I like to shoot would be gone.

To keep everyone abreast on this topic. I have spoken with our treasurer and we do have a line item in our yearly budget for NRA affiliation fees. He has indicated that he will look into it. Perhaps after the holidays we will be able to get something set up.

Very, very well put. There is some distention in the ranks right now, need to get this out there. The time is far too important to allow minor grudges or opinions to interfere with the solidness we now need . We need to take the idea that we can fight among ourselfs but now is not the time. Internal arguments is exactly what “they” want. It can and will be used against us.

I am a life member of the NRA. I do not like the constant bombardment of begging for donations that go to more advertisements and bombardment(at least that is what it seems to do) but I understand OUR NEED for the organisation.

Couple of things to think about. No I don't like it either, I don't think anyone does and on the odd occasion I just chuck the mail in the trash. I bet there is a lot of others that do too. But---------
No matter what you think or no matter what runs through your mind, you cannot just go off half cocked when you get riled up by some of the nonsense that comes out of Washington. No matter how badly you want to--- you cannot do it. We are not that kind of people and we should be proud of it. However ------ !!!! One of the best things you can do is to answer the call for the money when you can. Money really does make the world go around and no one knows how to spend it in such a way that it really gets under the “anti's” hide like the NRA does. Yes, they will sometimes spend some of it in ways I too question but when the chips are down no one and I do mean NO ONE but the NRA can go after a bad law or a crack pot politician like they can. Their success ratio in the past years has been excellent. You have to accept this, there is no other group out there and none on the horizion that even comes close.
Yup, the wife and I disagree every now and then but I am sticking with her and the NRA!! And more important than ever, we must stick together on this one.
I am a benefactor member-- what are you ?

Reading through this post, I can't help but to see how ironic it all has become. In the NRA's beginnings over 130 years ago the US needed marksmen, organized and trained shooters. Now the 'leftists” are calling US the bad guys. Yup, everything is misstated and 'termed' around backards........

I thought political discussions were banned on this site a few weeks ago? I did not agree with this rule because I knew we would get into a discussion like the above. Did I miss something?

Get used to the nagging for the various fund raisers. Its cheaper to ask all the membership than cut out those that don't want to be approached to donate. Between the heart, cancer, Alzheimer, Diabetes etc. funds the list of those that what you to donate goes on and on.........But we need a mouthpiece for our sport, second ammendment, protect our right to self defense etc. Who else in town has any clout and is feared on capital hill. Donate what you can and join the NRA if you already haven't. You are about to see the biggest threat to gun ownership since the Revolutionary War was fought...... I have been a Life Member since 1966 and an Endowment for about 20 yrs. All the wimpering about you don't agree with this or that doesn't matter. You must look at the total picture or you are on you own......that means turn them in now.... you lost.Wake up and RALLEYE........jOIN AND DONATE.:dude::dude: PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY.....AFISH4570
