I contacted my regional and state NRA rep a couple weeks ago about this but didn't hear anything back.

The NRA always needs money but this sounds like BS to me. Who trusts Yahoo news??? I get mail from the NRA every week but nothing of the sort described in the linked article.

NRA contact's you asking for more money not the other way around. After a year of non stop pestering I never rejoined again.

Sounds like a liberal's wet dream. I haven't heard anything about this before your post and I'm guessing I would have if it was real.


Eh...wot?

I remember this from last year.
NRA financial troubles and lawsuit


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

All you had to do Jackie is call them and ask to stop...as LD and Lug mentioned.

Can someone else call them and ask them if this article is true? Scott T and Chad F didn't get back to me.

Hmmm. I've been a member for 33 years. I didn't know we get life and gun insurance, or that there are formal 'recruiters' like yourself. Interesting.

Honestly Law Dog I would rather every $ I gave to the NRA go to real gun rights lobbying than all the other stuff. Including paying for a hunting resort for the NRA elite. From my humble perspective as the NRA has gotten larger I see less and less of my $ going to real world lobbying and more to feeding the beast that its became.

A lot of people seem upset with Wayne's massive salary.

I bought a life membership and made payments when Clinton got elected the first time. I thought Clinton getting elected was the end of the world for gun owners. Was I wrong, had never heard of Obama!
I admit that the NRA isn't perfect, but what is? I would hate to think where gun ownership in the USA would be without them. Just look at Australia, Europe and many other places around the world.
Gun owners need the NRA just like trappers need the NTA and state organizations to protect our interest.
The "taking your toys and going home" comment is spot on. If you don't carry your share of the load whether its gun or trapping rights somebody else is going to have to carry more.
So man up and help protect these things for yourself and future generations.
