I'm Dissappointed in the NRA

[Brandon]

I joined the NRA about a month and a half ago hoping they could use my money to help keep our gun rights. Now I'm wondering how much of that money is actually being used for anything useful. I got a multi-tool thing just for signing up, something I didn't really want and will probably sit in the junk drawer until I move. I receive an email about every 2 days about something, I'm not sure because I just delete them. Maybe I can get taken off the email list but I haven't looked yet. 3 weeks after i joined, I got a letter to renew my membership. I wouldn't expect something like that for 10-11 months. I'd rather not be bothered at all - email, phone, snail-mail, etc. I was going to sign up my lady but as of right now, I don't think I will and I don't think I'll renew in a year either. It seems like they're just wasting my money on worthless trinkets and postage.

Any thoughts?

I'm a life member of the NRA. While I don't totally agree with them, they are the largest organization.

I keep thinking about joining the Gun Owners of America, they fit my thoughts far better.

perhaps theres another way you could support the big picture without joining the commercial/consumer side of the NRA.... I'm sure if you contacted them for a cash donation you would be transferred to the appropriate area.

That's a swell idea that I never would've thought of.

I'll also look into Gun Owners of America while I'm at it.

I signed up with the NRA once upon a time. . Well, I received stacks upon stacks of junk mail from them, along with the worthless trinkets. The real kicker though? After I received the trinkets, they'd send a following letter asking me to return it if I didn't want it! A big Whiskey Tango Foxtrot right there!

Sure, give the NRA MORE money, so they can help WRITE MORE ANTI-GUN laws, like they have done for YEARS.

No thanks. I go with PRO-GUN groups, like GOA, JPFO, SAF, RMGO, etc.

Is RMGO still going strong? I noticed parts of their site aren't updated very frequently. I have a nifty RMGO sticker, and i would have no problem sending them $25 bucks if i knew they were still very active and won't use to it to print more stickers.

I've donated to the NRA in the past, never joined though.
