Default Joined NRA tonight.

Tonight I noticed the thread about discounted NRA memberships and took advantage of it to join. It just so happens that was an hour or so before the State of the Union address.

After the address joining the NRA is just not enough. I will be following this forum for suggestions on what to do next.

WELCOME to the NRA family! Support and contribute to the NRA all you are able.

politely request ALL your county, state and federal leaders to unequivocally support the 2nd amendment. keep writing to them until there is NO more ink in the universe.

I don't know why more people don't use it, but Popvox.com is a great way to stay apprised of Senate and Congressional bills, and send canned or personal approval or oppositional letters to your "leaders".

Good for you! Once in a (great) while, they have life memberships for $300. Keep track, and think about buying one for a friend or family member, as a lifetime gift.

Thanks for joining the fight, we need every gun fancier and owner to join! The person who delivered the State Of The Union address has been declared the best gun salesman in US History, hope he does the same for the NRA Membership!

Since late 2008, Buckeye Firearms Foundation has been on a mission to become the top recruiter in the Club category. In 2013, they finally achieved that goal by recruiting over 1,600 NRA members. Not only did they set a new Club category record but they also earned 2013 Recruiter of the Year honors!

I am proud to be one the "over 1600" as I renewed through their website.

OH. Welcome to the family

In addition to the NRA, I joined Gun Owners of America. Looking at the Second Amendment Foundation as well.
Need to nail these b@stards on every front possible, in my opinion.

I too joined GOA. I hear they're more of the grassroots-type of organization. I get the emails for the National Association for Gun Rights. I think Rand Paul partners with them a lot. He is often the author or subject of their emails. I'll be joining them once I start working. I'll look into the Second Amendment Foundation also.

Let's keep this one on top for awhile. Great to see that there are many that are putting thier money where it will do the most for our 2nd Amendment fight.

I hope we continue to hear from new NRA members on this thread.

Updated mine to Endowment this morning... As much as I like to buy and shoot guns, I spend some of my money to make sure we can continue to buy and shoot them! As soon as my children get a little older, I'll buy their Life Memberships as gifts. They too will learn the importance of 2A and stand up where and when it is threatened.

That is great. Welcome, we need all of the members we can get. The NRA & GOA are all that is standing between those who want to take our guns, and keeping them. It is a constant battle, thanks for joining and helping us fight the good fight.
