Don't forget if you join the NRA using this link you get a $25 bass pro gift card. Makes the membership free, well kind of.

Lobbyist are great at what they do, but when you file a lawsuit against a government and win, it speaks VOLUMES to defending us from tyranny.

well it would, if the government and the powers that be
a. gave a shit about the constitution and
b. gave a shit about the law

When they don't (and they clearly don't), you have a nice trophy, but you didn't solve the problem.

Man I got hosed just going through the standard NRA site, 60 bucks for 2 years and none of the extras except the magazine.

Oh well, live and learn.

So, with the online membership sign up ( https://membership.nrahq.org/forms/s...0&hid=21009570 ) you get a free rosewood handle knife, or black and gold duffel bag, or digital camo duffel bag. As well as a subscription to one of these magazines: American Rifleman, American Hunter, or America's First Freedom.

Which magazine is the better of the 3 (I'm not a hunter, so that kinda leaves the other two only). And are the free gifts as crappy as all other free gifts for other subscriptions out there? Is there a way to opt out of the free gift?

And why is it that when I go to a different website, there is only the offer for the magazine subscription? Are these different "NRAs"?

Or here and get a free $25 gift card to Bass Pro:

I know that when you accept return gifts like this, it takes away from your donation so I may opt out of the magazine as well, just because I don't need another magazine and am really not that interested in it.

Ronin, keep an eye on the CO forum over at OathKeepers. We had a meetup a few weeks ago at Lone Tree Brewery and it was a great time. Planning to make it a regular event so should be another next month.

I have never heard of Oath Keepers before. I just pulled up the website, and so far I am very impressed.

PS - Perhaps I'll signup as an Associate Member.

Renewed my RMGO and NRA. Gotta support those that support us.

I am glad to see so many joining, but I am surprised that so many people on this site were not already members.

I've heard if you call them up they are willing to send you the gift card from Bass Pro

I registered on their forums a while back, but I didn't pay for a membership until I had a chance to sit and talk with some of the members face to face. I will keep my oath whether I give them money or not, so I asked those guys why they joined up. It's not really a lobbyist group, so the dues go to help the marketing campaign, keep the forums running, organize events, and fund efforts to get current military and LE onboard with the mindset that they will not follow unconstitutional or otherwise illegal orders (something we've been talking about here on COAR15 recently). I think that's a worthwhile effort, so that's why I paid for a membership.
