There are alot of people that got guns passed down to them from thier father or grandfather and it just sits in the closet and is never shot. The don't even think about it unless they are asked if they own one or not. I run across this a couple of times a year. These people really don't care if they own a firearm or not. But sense they were given them and they were owned by family. I have tried to buy these guns from this type of people but they just won't sell. Darn! LOL

I was talking with my younger brother, and got him to sign up for the easy pay life. One more for the cause!!

I got mine when it was $750.00, it's now up to $1,000.00.

Rod what's the life membership for the young kids cost?

I believe it was 550.00 for my daughter and she is 8, my other kids I just got a yearly membership and i think it was 15.00 but I don't remember for sure. I did the easy pay life on my daughters also. She gets a part of my Social Security disability so I'm going to start teaching her that she has to get the money out of the bank and pay her bill. She is highly stoked about it though. Every place she goes she pulls out her card and says "I'm a member of the NRA" in a kinda proud almost cocky manner.

This is my first post, and I would like to add that wen you send your check in to the NRA, make sure that you put on the check in the memo portion, what you would like the money to support. For example: ILA, or YHEC (Youth Hunter Eductaion Challenge), NRA Foundation, etc.......

If the response rate wasn't sufficient to justify the expense then they would quit sending it. I would rather get mail from them than have to endure the fools trying to outlaw our guns.

Thank you, that's exactly how I feel!

I was getting the same thing. So at the NRA booth while I was at the sportsman show in Harrisburg I complained. The fellow behind the desk gave me a form to fill out and all the mail stopped. I'll bet I don't get 3 or 4 letters a year from them now. I don't even get the entry to the big gun/hunt sweepstakes. Something you might want to look into.

I have been an NRA Life Member for many years, and upgraded to Endowment Life about fifteen years ago. I intermittently send various amounts to the ILA depending on what is going on at the time. I will accept your $50 challenge, and further challenge everyone to give $50 + $10 for each year Obama is in office (i.e. $60 in 2010, $70 in 2011, etc.). Think of it as your contribution to the "Campaign to De-Elect Obama".
