Thought some might like to take advantage of this offer, I believe that the NRA is trying add some weight to thier bargaining position with Obama.

Ken,you jogged a question up for asking,I wonder if there is a way for all of us NRA members to get a small NRA sticky added to our existing avitar location,just the(small) red letters NRA would suffice.
If Monitors/Admin. don't read this I'll send a message request to them.

However, anyone can select from several primary avatars for the NRA.

NRA membership for free? Will I then be bombarded by tons of money begging junk mail with large red emblazoned letters shouting "Dear Gun Owner" or "Protect Your Gun Ownership Rights"???
Had an apartment years ago in a major East Coast city with mailboxes downstairs in the hallway entrance. The NRA solicitation crap was too large for the box and would be dropped on the floor by the postal mail dude for all to see. May as well have put a sign in my front window . . . . "Guns in Apartment 5D - Come Steal". Wrote the NRA telling them to take me off their mailing list. That just generated more form letters and added garbage mailings.
Sent another more formal another and told the NRA toads that I quit their organization and demanded that my name be removed for all lists. Gradually the spam mailings stopped. That was that deal!
Now it's Free NRA Membership huh? No thanks!
Need to post a rant,just post it.it's called freedom of speech,that's the 1st.Amendment,,the one that is guarranteed by the 2nd. Amendment,no need to resurrect these month and a half old posts,I belonged to the NRA years ago and got in a p++sing match with them and quit,but I always supported the ILA div. of the NRA,I rejoined because they are just about the only group on a national level that the politicians fear,and mark my word,this gang in the White House now are going to try everything they can to remove all guns from private citizens,as for me I remove my mail from my box every day and if there is any I don't want to respond to.I just run it through the shredder.

These are just the ones I know that joined as a result of my emailing them,I sent it out to about 50 people. I'm sure others joined,and many of these folks forwarded it to their email lists etc etc.
We got to get the numbers up NOW.
Send the link to everyone you know,ask them to join and forward it to everyone they know etc. It does'nt take much time.
I signed the whole family up! Thanks for the link
When I enlisted and reenlisted in the military, I was not given the option of indicating the parts of the Constitution I would or would not support. I also was not given the option of indicating which people or ideology I would not protect.
Essentially, I serve to protect everyone whether they like it or not.
The NRA and other like minded organizations protect your gun rights whether you like it or not.
When you enjoy the freedoms and condemn the guarantor, you are an ingrate.
I don't know why folks like The Capt. refuses to join the NRA, especially since the first year is free. Plus, by renewing through my Gun Club, I get a discount every year. Oh, the solicitations....
I used to get them like every other day. Tossed them. Then eventually they came about once a week, tossed them. Then they came about once a month, tossed them. Now, every once in a while I get something, hardly even notice them. Heck, I get them so seldom now that I actually read them, before I toss them.
Methinks The Capt. needs to try them again. They are a kindlier, gentler, NRA now.
I agree the excessive mailers are a bit much. I would rather see the NRA use the money spent on mailers on the fight for preserving the Second Amendment.

I was the president of the local county gun club. The pressure the NRA put on me and others to raise more and more money was incredible. They were even calling me at home in the middle of the night (11:30 PM).
Every communication I had with them was adversarial. "We are going to lose our RTKBA and it is YOUR fault!" There wasn't a day that the mail man didn't stuff more solicitations in my mail box. The more I did, the more they demanded. The final straw was when the NRA named a local guy as the "NRA Man of the Year." Nobody I knew had ever heard of the guy. He had never been to any of the "Friends" events and had never been a member of the gun club. When we asked the Regional NRA guy (last name was Black, IIRC) from St Louis who this mystery guy was, the NRA rep told us that was none of our business. End of story.
