So I see a bunch of you guys post on cologunmarket.com as well.

What does everyone think about being required to give your name, address, and phone number in order to register to the site?

[Roger]

Years ago, I was a mod over there. The site is of course part of RMGO. It used to be you had to be a paid member of RMGO to use the site.

That being said, most sites now require some kind of registration. In this case. I'm sure Dudley has some reasons for doing it that way. I'm sure your info is safe with Dudley. And I would suspect that he does use it to supplement his mailing list. (Don't know that just guessing.)

[Irving]

I really like what I've seen from RMGO.org so far (and might switch my NRA money to RMGO and GOA instead) it just makes me nervous to have all that info in someone else's hands. Too late though, since I already signed up. ;)

[ChunkyMonkey]

NRA? come on man... support RMGO :)

Why not support both?

[GoldFinger]

IMHO. I much prefer the format of this site to the other. The threads, rules, etc..

Do you have to give this info, just to "register" at the site, or to become a RMGO member so that you can "post" ads at the site. I have been a member so long I forgot.

Roger, you still have to be a member of RMGO to post there.

I only support "NO COMPROMISE" gun rights organizations.

[Irving]

The NRA still does a lot of great work getting things like castle doctrines passed. Didn't they just get one passed in Arizona or some state recently?

I know what you mean about the "no compromise" thing though. The NRA's pill is hard to swallow when they flat out ignore Class III issues and use the money you donate them to send you cheap trinkets and junk mail.

This says it all.

Then you're either very naive or in denial about how things work on a national level. I don't necessarily like it, but that's how it is at the present time.

How much do you think RMGO is going to accomplish in DC?

And I seriously can't believe people still use the "NRA sends junk mail" excuse for not being a member. If that's all you got here's a little secret...you can go to the member's area of the NRA website and opt out of almost all mailings.

And some of you need to understand the NRA is strictly a firearms educational and safety organization. That's it.

NRA doesn't do anything politically and they're not allowed to. That's what the NRA/ILA is for. ILA is the lobbying arm of the NRA.

There is no other pro-gun organization that has accomplished anything remotely close to what the NRA has in securing and/or restoring our firearms freedoms. Period.

Personally, I believe the more one becomes involved in the various organizations the better off we'll all be. And, I put my money where my mouth is:

Benefactor Life Member NRA
Life Member GOA
Annual Member RMGO
Annual Member JFPO

[DeusExMachina]

You still have to be a member of RMGO to register there. I tried to register but my account was never approved.

[pickenup]

Maybe YOU are naive about what the NRA has done TO us, concerning firearm laws.

[Bailey Guns]

I'm all ears. Why not educate me on how the NRA has let "us" down regarding firearms laws?

Hey...I don't like everything they do. But I also understand the good far outweighs the bad and that compromise is the way things get done in politics, whether you like it or not.

[Bailey Guns]

And I'd also be curious to know how your favorite "NO COMROMISE" organization, whether gun related or not, has fared on the national stage.

[Irving]

I am a member, that's how I know about the junk mail.

[Bailey Guns]

I am a member, that's how I know about the junk mail.

From the NRA membership FAQ web page:

Q: How can I reduce the amount of mail I receive from the NRA?
A: Simply email us at membership@nrahq.org or dial 800-NRA-3888 and request to be placed on the "Do Not Promote" list. This will significantly reduce the amount of mail you receive without affecting important mailings, magazine service, or your membership renewal.

Have you tried that?

[Irving]

Good deal, thanks. What number do I call to reduce the junk mail policy? ;)

[pickenup]

As per your request, but I think this information deserves it's own thread.

[GoldFinger]

+1. I know a little bit about marketing and it blows my mind away that the NRA must be spending big jack (a good portion I'm sure are membership dues) to do these mailings. I'd guess everyone here is big supporter of the 2nd Ammendment, but damn let's save a few freeking trees too.
