Lifer since '75. Would probably join GOA now rather than upgrade my NRA membership to a higher level, mostly for reasons given above.

Been paying dues for a long time now, should probably do life membership. Like Swilk, I get tired of the junk mail and non-stop solicitation for more money. This thread is full of people crying about junk mail and I NEVER get so much as a post card other than my magazine. I get quite a few emails but I think it's from being an instructor since they are all hyping specials and promotions and instructor "deals" on training equipment. That recent little hullabaloo about powder manufactures and it was THE NRA who shut that down like they were swatting a fly, NOT the GOA. The GOA wouldn't even exist if not for the 100 years of road paving the NRA has done so they could saunter down the path now on the shoulders of the NRA. |

I get something at least once a month. It doesn't bother me except it costs them money to send stuff out.. Most of mine goes in the round file...

I agree with jackryan, the NRA is the organization with by far the most muscle.

I agree with jackryan, the NRA is the organization with by far the most muscle. Ditto, and I've been a member for a long, long time - since college. |

The NRA is more than just gun control issues. They sponsor competition from Muzzle loading to three gun and just about any thing between. Training from the Eddie Eagle program for school age kids, self defense and law enforcement hunter education and many others. There is info for collectors, shooters, reloaders, hunters and several others.
I do not know of any organization that does more for such a wide range of interest.
If that is not enough I do not remember any politician mentioning ANY other Pro-Gun group when talking about their difficulties passing gun control legislation. NONE
