Your a good man Charlie Brown! Very cool of you to do this Jim. Under all that foul language some east coasters do have a heart...

Because they are the most powerful pro-gun organization and our best line of defense on all levels.

I don't 'need' a membership. Many years ago I joined. Only to allow it to lapse. I've felt the NRA are a bit hypocritical. They tend to compromise too much for my taste. Although in today's climate I've thought of rejoining to help our cause and set my personal feelings aside in the meantime to unite gun owners.

So, if you want to buy me an NRA membership for a year I'd appreciate it. I'm not poor and I can afford membership on my own w/o putting me and my family at financial risk.

There you go. My NO BS reason. Let me know when to PM my info to you so you can give me my membership. Plus I DESERVE it. ;P

Why I need and NRA membership:

Because they keep the United States Postal Service in business and make sure that my mail box is always full.

Seriously thoug, they do good work, and they are are the loudest voice out there.

Reading comprehension is the issue. My math is fine.

We have a winner who if they so desire will be announced. I respect the members privacy.

Going through a divorce; just opened the join page and my bank account and close both. Will join later in the month...it's important!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND THE LUCKY WINNER IS ALXONE
While splogan is more than deserving of a membership. As per his post is is still an NRA member. I was looking for someone who is not a member to get one more person on the NRA team [not to mention their mailing list].
Alxone is not, so he is the winner. IF i was in a better position financially, splogan would have also been picked. Hint for anyone interested in stepping up
Anyway, thanks to all who inquired.

20 words:

The NRA is the only effective 800 pound gorilla in the room pushing for gun rights when some politicians waffle.

Because, I've heard several media outlets state "the government is afraid of the NRA bullying them"!
