Let's see. 6 pack of beer, 5 to 6 bucks. 12 pack of beer, 10 bucks. Cheap dinner with the wife, 30 bucks. Dinner that the wife really likes, 60 to 70 bucks. Tank of gas for my van, 50 to who knows what, depending on the price of a gallon of gas.

One year standard NRA membership, 35 bucks. It seems to me that NRA membership is very very cheap, especially when it helps to preserve our right to keep and bear arms. While I understand that many people are out of work or are working far below what they are really worth, what is the value of being able to legally own a firearm and have the right to defend yourself or your family worth? I will always find a way to keep my NRA membership active. It comes down to priorities.
