I just saw the NRA ad for the first time. All I gotta say is "Go NRA". I see how folks on the news sites are calling us NRA members white racists, but race has nothing to do with it. My Bible tells me that as far as God is concerned all people are precious in His sight and male and female are equal. This makes my 4 year old daughter just as valuable as Obama's children. Why should my daughter not be safe at school too? I wonder how these haters would feel if their child was hurt by a madman because after all our children are not as important as the President's. people do not join the NRA because we are racist and dislike the fact that a black man is President. We support the NRA because we believe in our rights to keep and bare arms, and the NRA helps us to fight to keep those rights. I am sorry that folks are getting upset because the NRA is playing hardball, but you know what....get over it. Props to the NRA for taking a bold stand and yeah the truth hurts sometimes. I am an NRA member and I am writing my local, state, and federal government and sharing the tools needed on Facebook and Twitter, and even in my humanities class in college. Thank you to everyone who is talking an interest and a stand for our gun rights, I applaud you. Keep up the good work.

Regardless of what Obama has done, his wife and kids deserve protections and privacy, no questions about that. Yet our kids would be harmed w/o security officer, do you understand that? I like this NRA ad!

Each of us needs to make a personal commitment to talk to as many friends and family as possible. We need to use our influence to reach these folks and get them signed up for a just cause. Wouldn't it be great if 6 months from now NRA membership was over 5 million? This would send a strong message to the enemies of the freedom.
NRA support
I received my first shotgun (a .410) when I was 6 (1956). Had already been on bird hunts for 2 years and my dad figured it was time for my own gun. Conditional NRA life member in the early 70s, I was in college and it was discretionary spending I felt I had to divert elsewhere (my motorcycle for instance). Still hunted and shot a fair amount then all the reloading equip went into storage for years. Very involved with Boy Scouts and bought life memberships for both Eagle sons. A month ago, NRA recruitment called for the youngest, wanting to upgrade his membership. I had been fighting the flu and was sitting around feeling sorry for myself. Turned out that my son could now sponsor his old man for a reduced cost Life membership. Of course I was the one paying, but since they asked, and since I am very concerned about the enemy within, I upgraded his membership to Endowment. What the higher levels mean is that you get to display the fact that you gave more money. And while the NRA had done some things that I don't especially like, it is sort of like any relationship. You're in it, make the best of it and help steer the direction through communication and activity. As a life member I am now asking a lot of the Guard people with whom I work, if they are NRA members, and if not to strongly consider joining. When the recruiter called me, I told him that I was planning on spending a bunch of money on some more ammunition, but since the run on various calibers, I might as well just wait until supplies are replenished, and spend my money on the memberships. I could never be compared to a founding father, but if they could all pledge their lives their fortunes and their sacred honor, by God I could fork over some money to help stand this country back up to some semblance of the greatness we have had before.
I suggest to the people who are not satisfied with everything the NRA does, to NOT drop their memberships, but work towards making their voices heard and help propel this ship with the idea of helping to steer it later.

I was going to post something but it was too close to a political discussion. Suffice it to say, the NRA is our best vehicle to stopping this gun control movement.
The NRA has done a wonderful job despite all the hysteria. Right after Sandy Hook, they came out with the statement 'only a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun.' That statement was ridiculed by the media, the POTUS & Biden, police and teacher organization, etc.
Yet, the POTUS has issued this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/16/obama-on-guns-schools_n_2487509.html
And teachers: "87.8% of educators say having an armed police officer would improve safety, while 12.2% say such a presence would make schools less safe" - http://www.schoolimprovement.com/voices-of-education/guns-and-school-safety-survey-results/

Teachers and kids, when asked, feel safer with a responder at the school.
You'll notice a complete lack of data on the number of new gun owners and concealed carry classes... 200+ per weekend at each of our local ranges. The Obama Administration took on many notable names from the media, including many from the political corps.. They have connections and they use 'em. Example: NBC totally ignored Rand Paul's filibuster... They will not say anything that reflects negatively on our O'so-slippery POTUS. NBC is a tool of disinformation (aka lying)

Every gun owner should join the NRA. Everyone will be sorry when the politicians ban all guns in the future. Not far fetched. New York is a prime example and other states such as CT are not far behind. We should all stand together for our freedoms.

I sure hope they run their $300 life membership offer again.
Preferably after my tax return comes.
