Telemarketing is just a fact of life these days! Get over it! Again, it is a very poor excuse not to support the NRA!
For you hunters out there (of which I am one,) hunting is NOT a constitutional right! The right to bear arms, the Second Amendment, IS our constitutional right! It is under severe attack by anti-gun groups and bleeding heart, anti-HUNTING groups too!
Someone said that when all guns are banned, hunting will be with muzzleloaders and bows only. That is a false hope too! When guns are banned, ALL hunting will be just that much easier for them to stop too!
Also, don't be naive enough to believe that the anti's only want to ban "assault weapons!" When they get enough votes to ban the dreaded assault guns, they will move on to another type of gun, until all guns are banned!
The reason they are going after the so-called "assault weapons," (what is an assault weapon anyway? You can be "assaulted" with a baseball bat!) is that these guns, look scary. They are also going after large target 50 caliber guns too! Their reason of thinking is that, not as many people have these types of weapons, and it will be easier to get the general public, and even naive gunowners to COMPROMISE, and have these guns banned! Then they will go after the next type of gun, until they are all banned!
It costs the NRA millions to fight the anti gunners. The cost of an NRA magazine eats up most of the cost of an NRA membership! They need donations to continue the fight. Telemarketing is one of the ways to get that needed money! I don't like it, you don't like it, and I'm sure the NRA leadership would use a better form of fundraising, if there was one! Telemarketing obviously works! Everyone is using it!
Find a better excuse than telemarketing, for NOT being an NRA member!
Heres one for you, "I'm not an NRA member, because I'm free-loading off of the other 4 million gun owners that are fighting to protect my Second Amendment rights" Or, " I don't care that my rights are under attack, as long as my guns are not on the ban list!"
