I do not agree with all of the NRA positions and I think the NRA was behind the ball on getting to the Supreme Court while there was still time. It took patriots like Bob Levy of the Cato Institute and Alan Gura to do that. However, good people like Ditrina said to join -- so I joined.

One thing for sure, the NRA supports the 2nd Amendment.

I always do what Ditrina tells me. Although I'm not sure why he told me to go out tonight and leave my wife at home...oh well, mine is not to question why...guess I'll go hit a bar...

A BIG welcome aboard. We may disagree with differing points with the NRA, but they are the best we have to stand up for out 2A rights.

Now go out and get some friends signed up.

Welcome to the NRA and thanks for your support.

Mike (Ladder 13) inspired me to upgrade this year. The price was excellent and the timing perfect. NRA needs our support.

Congrats....but what took you so long?

Good move Bushmaster!

The NRA certainly isn't perfect-or even close-but they are the most powerful pro-2A organization. Glad you joined

Good man! Glad to have you with us, Bushmaster.
We need the help.

one more has "seen the light". welcome to the fold. go out and spread the word.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news.
Your new knife is probably gonna have the "C" word on it.
Mine did.

Made joining a personal requirement as part of getting an M&P 15-22.

15-22 for Christmas and NRA membership a few days later.

I'm going to ask three friends tomorrow if they are members.

If not, I will try to convince them.

Think any of you could find three additional people to join this week?

Also, write or email your US Senator and Congressman.

Be polite, concise and professional.

Doesn't take more than 15-20 minutes.

The presidential election did not turn out as I expected because the "other side" was prepared and mobilized.

The current holder of the office of President resides there because people stayed home and did nothing on November 6th.

Let us not fail to learn from that with the situation we now face.

Steel Dan,

When you speak with your friends don't forget,

ARTICLE TWO of THE BILL OF RIGHTS,

to help you frame the argument.

And now for the bad news.

Personally, I do not think universal NICS checks are inherently bad.

We already have laws that says certain people should not have guns. So long as a NICS check is simple, fast, cheap and not used for unsavory purposes, I do not have a problem with it. I already have to deal with that in New Jersey, and it has been an inconvenience, but not IMHO, an infringement on my Constitutional RTKBA.

But here's the good news. The individuals on the Keep and Bear side of the 2nd Amendment are willing to talk and debate and engage in reasoned discourse on this subject.

Perfection is not with mortal man. The NRA is our voice and an intelligent and lawful one. Welcome aboard!!!!

In Il, whenever we buy ammo or a gun, we show our FOID card and they charge $5 for a NICS run. Must be run everytime. So I've been checked out so many times I have no problem with that. Especially if it stops the wrong people from getting guns and causing those mass shootings. We the legal owners have nothing to worry about. But we can't let the gun grabbers go any further than a NICS check or it will guarantee more reasons to stop law abiding from buying or owning.

The Illinois FOID CARD is a total CROCK too.

I joined today too. I've been on the fence because like others have said, I don't agree with everything they say. What put me over the edge was the latest potential NY legislation. The proposed law is completely outrageous, and even more scary is the fact that NY gun owners don't have the political support to stop it. I'll be damned if I will let a nationwide law limiting guns to seven rounds be passed uncontested. Plus with the link ladder13 posted, I'd be crazy not to join. Its basically free! https://membership.nrahq.org/forms/s...gnID=bassprowy

great to have all these new NRA members..

Here in my part of the Garden State, there is no hope of influencing my legislators to support the 2nd Amendment. I have no doubt that my elected representatives would vote to repeal the 2nd Amendment rather than protect it.

However, I hope my membership in the NRA can help to sway legislators that are on the fence.

I hope stats will be kept on how many members we gain in NY, after the announcement of this ASSAULT on the Constitution.
