Now's the time for the NRA. If you're a hunter or gun owner, you do NOT want this Dem candidate (or his running mate) in office. The NRA=political muscle, and one place that muscle comes from is raw numbers. If you're not already a member, join now. Find a recruiter, go to their web site, whatever it takes. Sign up everyone in your family. What's $35 a head? If you look around you can find better offers (I'll sign your for $25). Yeah, there are other good gun groups out there, but the NRA is the oldest (1873) and the largest, and they weild the biggest stick. One group you do NOT want to join is the American Hunters and Shooters Ass'n. This is nothing but a front for the antis. If you've been suckered into that one, I suggest you resign right now.
And don't give me that whiny crap about the stuff NRA sends in the mail. If that's your excuse for not being a member, either you don't own a trash can, you do own one and are too dumb to know how to use it,or perhaps you're a guilty conscienced tight wad. You can specify that you don't want solicitations. Your membership money does not go towards putting out solicitations.
"I don't agree with everything the NRA does." No kidding!? Revelation!? Do you agree with everything your wife or husband does? Another excuse for the tight wad.
Get on board. If you really can't find the way, e-mail me at heritagearms@hotmail.com and I'll assist. We need this election.

My husband firmly believes, and I think he's probably right, that if the NRA had 70 million members,Congress would give youa tax credit for buying a gun.

I just bought a bass guitar, and I'm broke, next, I'm going to be trying to get a car, and be broke all over again, so NRA membership hasn't been on my radar screen, and besides, I'm a minor, I already was a member with the American Hunting Club, and they tried to rip me off to pay for what I didn't ask for, junkheads.....
I don't feel like making the same mistake twice, it wasn't about the trash can, it was that they were going to steal my money, fortunately, I explained the situation, and since I was a minor, they told me to keep the stuff they sent, and they canceled my membership.
So much for standing up for hunting rights......
The NRA better be better than that, I can't imagine it being worse than the NAHC, I'll give NRA a shot eventually, I guess.
The NRA is nowhere near like the NAHC. It's totally different. The reason you join the NRA is to support your second amendment rights. It's only $35 a year to join. I'm sure pretty much anyone can come up with that. My husband has been a life member for years and I have, I think it's a family membership. It costs less because they don't send me a magazine. (We only need one.)
Everyone needsto join.
(This is really amazing to see myself saying this stuff. Before I met my husband I had absolutely no interest in guns or hunting. )
May The Sheep Be With You

You got that right..I took a guy from England fishing today..In England they had every gun owner turn their guns in..even BB guns..and ground them up..NO one can have a gun ..THere is no hunting in Eng.Wouldn't it be sad to be like that..So if someone breaks into their home..The strongest man wins..and they can't protect themselves.We don't need any anti gun personal in the office.
i've been an NRA member for 50 years and usually contribute until it hurts. Not this year though: After McCain pulled his crap and tried to closethe non-existent "gun show loophole" i will not contribute one dime to be used to support McCain.
This is what the Lieberman-McCain "gun show loophole" law would have done for us. Yes, that Lieberman.
I've just finished studying the eight pages of legalese. Here is it what it calls for:
1. Unprecedented federal control over gun shows nationwide -- perfectly legal gun shows become strictly outlawed without prior federal approval, licensing and registration of each show;
2. Centralized federal licensing and registration of every gun-show promoter in the nation;
3. Centralized federal registration of every vendor -- including non-gun vendors -- at any gun show in the country. In order for me to sell my BOOKS at a gun show I'll have to pre-register and prove who I am, or face arrest; a private individual looking to sell a single gun would be treated as a vendor under this law and must be registered even if the gun isn't sold;
4. Centralized federal registration of EVERY PERSON who attends a gun show in America, whether or not they make purchases of anything at all -- you won't be allowed in without registering;
5. Centralized collection of "any other information" on gun-show attendees, as determined solely by the Secretary of the Treasury;
6. Imprisonment for attending a gun show and failing to give up any information required by regulations of the Secretary of the Treasury;
7. Imprisonment of any gun-show promoter who fails to register a single vendor;
8. Imprisonment of gun-show promoters who cannot prove they notified every person attending a gun show of the new rules, and obtained from attendees any information the Secretary of the Treasury mandates by regulation;
9. Centralized collection of "any other information" the Secretary of the Treasury decides, by regulation, is necessary on vendors, attendees, and the gun show itself;
10. Submission by gun-show promoters of vendor registration logs a) 30 days before any gun show, and b) additional submission of updated vendor registration logs 72 hours before any gun show, and c) additional submission of vendor registration logs within five days of the close of any gun show, under penalty of arrest and imprisonment for non-compliance;
11. Identification of vendors only by use of federally approved photo ID that may include use of a social security number, electronically encoded data, or "biometric identifiers" such as fingerprint, voice print, retina scan, iris scan, or similar (as defined under 18 USC 1028(d)(2));
12. Creation of a new license (in addition to a gun-show-promoter license), similar to FFLs, for individuals who want access to the NICS national background check system for facilitating gun-show sales for private citizens;
13. Regulations to be issued by the Secretary of the Treasury on the procedures, data collections, methods and implementation of the entire process to federally control gun shows, in addition to the requirements made by the proposed statute; such regulations will not be known, drafted or even suggested, until after the McCain-Lieberman law is enacted;
14. The proposed bill also puts pressure on state governments to make at least 95% of their law enforcement records for the past 30 years openly available to the federal government; and
-- makes unlimited funds available for the states to comply with these federal goals;
-- requires annual federal review of states' compliance;
-- increases penalties (up to ten years imprisonment) for record-keeping violations;
-- grants states permission to make even more restrictive requirements without being out of compliance with these new federal laws (and by implication, puts states that resist these rules in federal trouble);
-- provides hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars for more law enforcement under numerous programs including project Exile and others;
-- hires 200 more Federal BATF Agents;
-- provides $10 million to the National Institute for Justice to give out for research on "technologies that limit the use of a gun to the owner"; and
-- provides for annual reports (in great detail) by the Attorney General to Congress on whether the Brady law is working;
15. Enlargement of the federal bureaucracy and appropriation from taxpayers of "such funds as are necessary" to license, register and monitor an estimated ten million non-criminals who attend the thousands of gun shows held annually in America; and
16. Oh yes, I almost forgot about the so-called "loophole" part the media is so excited about -- the McCain-Lieberman bill will make an honest private citizen a criminal for transferring a gun to another honest private citizen, without first registering the transfer with, and getting permission from, the federal government (represented by the FBI at its data complex in Clarksburg, West Virginia).
Now's the time for the NRA
