Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I've gotten emails from the NRA, but it doesn't seen like they did much. For the money i pay each year, I expect a lot more. Magpul has earned a ton of respect from me in the past month.
^ If your talking about your dues-they don't go toward legislation fights. The (I'm not sure of the proper term) ILA donations to the NRA go to that.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
I've gotten e-mails and phone calls from NRA-ILA about twice a week for the last month -- and they seemed more toward "take action, call/write your legislators today" than "send us money".
Same here. And donations made to NRA-ILA support the fight, membership dues help mainly to show how larg the member base is.Originally Posted by Aloha_Shooter
I am aware that dues don't go directly to the ILA, I'm speaking more about donation money. However i do believe i spoke without thinking. They have called me reminding me to call my reps. i do get that the NRA is the NATIONAL riflemans association, so naturally their efforts have been more national in an attempt to kill feinsteins bills.

I couldn't agree more. I am supporting them by spending my money with them!

Unfortunately with prices the way they are MP is still seeing their base price in revenue returns. Some vendor sells a magpul mag for $30-50 doesn't mean MP benefits any more than they did @ $12.95

"when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when you're broken you understand the lyrics".
If they had not already impressed me with their exceptional products, their actions alone would make A lifetime customer out of me.
There are a whole lot of fudds in Colorado; and maybe the NRA just figures that. Or they feel that a mag limit isn't their concern. Lots of gun owners in Colorado, but a lot of folks who feel that grand-pappy's goose stick is just fine. I've seen the most activity in forums like this, *true* grassroots, and Magpul, a local home-grown company and their affiliates.
Certainly concerned that it won't be enough, though.
It can't hurt their business right now that everyone is sold out and willing to pay for their products. Most stores have raised the prices of a magazine to $30-$85. This is supply and demand. I wouldn't be surprised to see a MSRP increase from Magpul before this is all over. It's just supply and demand. I just hope it's a $1-2 increase instead of a $12+ increase
