Been an NRA member since 1952, upgraded to Life member in 1961. IIRC, LM was $100 back then.
In return, NRA has organized and fought the never ending battle against the gun grabbers on my behalf, underwriting OUR right to enjoy our chosen sport; all the while, they have organized countless competitive programs, and endless safety training programs for youth and adults, available to us all.
I almost felt like I was taking advantage, so (over the years) have upgraded to Benefactor. Have also volunteered countless hours in many NRA sponsored programs and activities.
Not blowing my own horn, here, the above is merely mentioned to establish a basis from which to make the following statement.
Having taken an active role for well over 60 years in opposition to the anti-gun initiative, I can vouch for the fact that this anti-gun drive is nothing new. But the fact is, this round absolutely promises to be the most intensive assault ever on our 2nd Amendment rights. Never has the opposition been better organized or had such support.
The time is now for ALL gun owners to get behind NRA (and other gun owners organizations) before it is too late.
