If you all don't mind me asking what does a lifetime member cost? Do veterans get a discount? I ain't a member, never figured I needed to be, I served, fought and just figured that was good enough, my son has done the same!! What about us that have no issues fighting a real fight if the time came against fellow Americans , would being a member help in that respect ?
Absolutely.....the politicians only look at the numbers....the more members, the more pull we have.

Been a lifer for several years, don't always agree with them but they are the biggest group protecting the 2nd amendment!

Most excellent!!!  Welcome to the club.  I am a life endowment member.  My wife and two kids are all life members as well.  It is a good group to belong to.

Thanks,

Right on!  :tup:

Welcome. Endowment here.

I don't always agree with their positions or methods ( a little unhappy and confused currently) but there is no auguring that they are the Elephant in the room when it comes to gun issues. Without the NRA our rights under the second would be doomed.

Thanks!

I've been a life member since I was 12. 
Both my father and grandfather where/are life members, my teenage son has been a life member since he was 2. 
By far the most important group fighting for the American way of life.  Without the 2nd Amendment the rest are just some ideas on a piece of paper.

Wow. interesting!  :tup:

Somewhat.  The biggest check cut by the NRA was $5,900.  That's "deep pockets" if you are the Seattle Times.  What do you think the teacher's union, Amazon, Microsoft, and Bloomberg have put in?

We fight extremists on the antigun front every day - we have to have a strong voice on the far right to have any hope of holding a middle ground.   Even if you are a middle ground proponent recognize that it takes a hard line approach just to reach to middle ground we are trying to save.  Especially now as the assault rifle battle we thought was over is rearing its ugly head.

Thank you, NRA.

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/why-new-gun-restrictions-failed-this-year-in-the-washington-legislature/

But even as Frockt tried to line up the 25 votes needed to pass the bill, gun-rights organizations ramped up an opposition campaign.

The National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action website posted seven alerts over two weeks urging its supporters to oppose the bill.
...
NRA spokesman Lars Dalseide and Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, also cited their opposition to the age-limit provision.

The Citizens Committee sent out an alert urging 110,000 supporters in the state to oppose the deal, Gottlieb said. Carlyle said many of the messages he received were a type of form letter and often didn’t come from residents of his district.

“I would get them from Enumclaw and Vancouver and Bellingham as much as I would get from my own district,” he said, adding later, “In terms of sheer numbers, you have to admire the impressive lobbying effort of the NRA.”

Life Patron Member.  Won't forget attending the 1985 convention in Seattle.   

"Freedom's Leading Man," Academy Award-winning actor Charlton Heston served as NRA president from 1998 to 2003. Never before, or since, has anyone been elected to three consecutive terms as president.
