That is a naive and a disingenuous half truth at best, as you well
know.

In fact, the NRA represents all law abiding gun owners, even you. They
have over 3 million individual members at $25/year, and they need
little, if any, financial help from the industry.

You are naive. Especially if you'd pay $25 a year to belong to an
organization of thugs.
Their membership is only known to them. A closely held secret.
Thank God I didn't buy a lifetime membership many years ago, when it was
a respectable organization.
Almost did.
It would be akin to joining the communist party before you knew they
were a party of thugs. Stigmatized forever.
Now the NRA is in the business of stifling free enterprise through
intimidation, as was done to that poor arms dealer.
He seems like a stand-up guy.
Death threats to him and his family! Shame!

I wouldn't take an NRA membership as a gift.

Well Harry I wouldn't sweat it. I really doubt they'd want you as a member anyhow

The NRA would take Josef Stalin as a member as long as he coughed up his
dues. An organization run by W'hine LaPierre will accept anyone.

The real question is which magazine would Harry find most offensive,
American Rifleman or American Hunter?



NRA buys lists and solicits names on those lists for new suckers, er,
members. Lots of organizations do that. I used to get NRA snail mail
solicitations. I'd put them in an envelope and mail them back to the
NRA, sans postage. I don't know if they got back to the NRA,
postage-due, but I sure hope so. Wayne LaPierre and his buddies are thugs.

You are the definition of a hater.

I get it. Your hero Wayne LaPierre, fires up the morons by predicting
apocalypse and by innuendo and direct insult of people of color, but
he's not a crazy hater, and I see him for what he is and send back his
unsolicited mail and I'm a hater. Are you a member of the Tea Party?

Back when the NRA was, in your opinion, a "respectable organization" was
the membership roster made public to anyone who wanted it?
