Shooter, I happen to agree with a lot of what the guy says. I have been an NRA member all my adult life but for a long time I had a lot of resentments due to the daily mailings that filled up my PO box to overflowing in a week.

They are better recently but IMHO they still are some of the most aggressive mailers. You may be right that the tactic must work for them but notwithstanding your allegiance to the NRA you have to expect them to understand they are going to get some pushback and alienate some members.

If I had any suggestions it would be to increase mailings as the member's time accumulates. I signed my wife up recently and in the first month she was suprised by the amount of mail she got.

If that's grumbling at someone's sacred cow, so be it. I welcome your response after I get back from the range in a few hours to pattern my new dbl ga 410

All he had to do is post the no solicitation phone number if it was such a "problem". He also could have included the website for emails if he was so inclined.

That would have been a positive response. He didn't. He's not the only one who complains about the mailings but it's usually a disgruntled so-called "member" who uses it as an excuse to do nothing.

Sorry, I don't have the patience for these people. We're still in the ballot and soap box political fight. I seriously doubt any gun owner who complains of a letter once in awhile would be able to watch my back if the real bad stuff happens.

I'm putting this in prospective. I heard of one guy who didn't want to join the NRA again because they never shipped his crappy plastic "bullet" keychain.

If 74 million gun owners have this type of crybaby attitude, I don't want them in the NRA. I wouldn't want them to destroy my votes for the Board of Directors.
