Thanks for this post, Lee.
I have been an NRA member since 1979, when I bought my first gun.
Eventually I became a life member, and I have been fortunate to be able to become a Benefactor member over the years.
All it takes is a yearly membership to start out with.
It is only $25.00. We piss away more than that on stupid stuff.
If you think you can't afford to join, think again.
You can't afford not to.
JMHO.
