Is there any benifit to being a member of the National Rifle Association?

I was contacted by them this evening and it got me thinking. I never considered it before.

The benefit it in promoting the right to bear arms. Without folks like the NRA, who knows what the nutjobs in congress would do.

I'm not a member, but would like to be. Just never can seem to afford it.

It is only around 20-25 dollars a year. I am a paid up for Life member so I have not paid "dues" in many years but often donate to legislative action causes from within the organization. One advantage is you will know weeks or months in advance of when crap is coming down the hill from the nut cases in Washington. There are several monthly magazines you can chose from as a member. If we ever lose the Right to Bear Arms under the Second Amendment, the other Rights will follow shortly behind. Ask anyone who has ever lived under a Communist / dictator. One of the first things they do is confiscate all weapons.
Interestingly, USA Today is running a poll, you all like polls, and so far 97% believe the 2nd Amendment is for individuals' right to keep and bear arms.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

- John Stuart Mill

I've been a member for years. I hope that they reduce the benefits I receive and instead use more of my $25 to fight the Gun-control/pro-tyranny/pro-rape crowd.

Everyone should join the N.R.A. They fight for our freedom. We lose the 2nd amendment, what stops the goverment from taking the others?

No sweat... SnitcHart has already made sure I am on it! I believe I am known as the,"Buckwheat Bandit" The only gun I've got is a broken Crossman pellet pistol. Hmmm...I wonder if the NRA will insure it?
