Yes, the NRA uses some heavy handed fund raising techniques and incessantly begs for money. I think that they could do better by asking less often and not wasting so much member money asking for more.

That having been said, WE NEED THE NRA! No other pro gun organization comes close to the efforts and results the NRA gives us.

Do I wish they'd find a better strategy for raising funds than beating us senseless with mailings and phone calls? Yes!
Would I ever let my dues lapse with all the liberals out there trying to destroy the second amandment? NO!

We'll all feel pretty foolish for complaining about a few mailings and phone calls when the ATF shows up at your door demanding that you hand em over
