Of course the NRA insurance doesn't cover gunshot victims.

WTG fellas!!! The NRA is not the "gun lobby." It's the freedom lobby. I believe they are the only thing standing between freedom and opression in the United States. Not only do they represent the interests of gun owners through defending the Second Amendment, but also keep close tabs on those who would undermine the First Amendment as well.

I used to be a member but I've found that I might as well give money directly to the republican party. so I just keep the $35 and send in $35 less to the democrats.

that way I get an extra $70 to spend on ammo and it all evens out.

The NRA is a great organization. I agree they are not about guns, they are about freedoms. The only complaint I would have against them would be the millions and millions of letters I got from them asking me for more money. Thats all. OH and my NRA sticker faded in one arizona summer

Somewhere Captain America is giving his shield to some kids to toboggan down a school yard hill in pure shame of Dripsnores mastery of all that is tough, and gun, and American.

Been a member of NRA for decades.. The only dowside is that they dun you for money all the time. Not a big deal.

I think any gun owner who is not giving something to some pro gun outfit (there are a few others) is getting a free ride and making excusses for his being a tightwad freeloader. That's fine... but don't pretend otherwise.

What I figure I get for my money is this... I get a really good magazine subscription every year and some insurance for gun theft or accident... Yes airhead... they do insure against gun accidents. I also like knowing that when the NRA talks about guns to the spineless, lying, greedy politicians in this country they can say.... "we don't want this POS, useless law passed and we speak for at least 4 millon people (or whatever it is now).

I want them to say "we speak for 100 million gun owners".

Unless you are a rabid neurotic about guns or... you have no idea what the NRA stands for or fights for... You will find nothing offensive about what they stand for or do. Think about it....

All the womanly gun haters never say why the NRA is so terrible... they only generalize... like all gun haters they are ignorant and lazy and decietful.
