I very much agree with JagMagMan, Without the NRA we would be in the same boat as Britain, Canada, and Australia. I have been a member since the mid 70's. I give them one contribution each year( as large as I can afford at the time)and If they call, I explain and politely hang up. There are policies that the NRA has that I don't agree with,including the way that they go about soliciting money, but folks they are all we have!!
