The National Rifle Association (NRA) has added 500,000 new members over the last month and a half.
Jacqueline Otto, media liaison for the NRA, spoke to CNSNews.com and confirmed the new membership numbers:
"We mark that [membership increase] from the, you know, Congressional calls for gun control and President Obama's executive orders and things like that. That's what's driving the increased membership."
CNSNews.com asked: "That's approximately over what time span then?"

It's a shame they're such slow learners but they're catching on now.
I think Wayne LaPierre and the NRA have been maintaining a “middle of the road” approach. I mean, they endorsed Dingy Harry, for cryin’ out loud.
This issue, however, has encouraged them to draw a hard line in the sand. They are, first and foremost, an advocate of the second amendment. They seem to be hardening their stance.
But you’re right - they could use a better spokesman. Like Sheriff Mack or Judge Napolitano. Somebody that understands freedom and understands how the various original amendments fit together to enumerate our natural rights and freedoms.
Emily Miller of the Washington Times would be an outstanding PIO...
The did not endorse dingy Harry...they endorsed no one in that race...which pissed me off that they didn’t endorse dingy’s opponent.
The NRA have a cozy relationship with dingy harry but they got so much grief when it looked like they were going to endorse, they wisely backed off.
I’m one of the new ones. Trying to recruit others at work.
I like your Judge Napolitanio suggestion for sure.
My mistake - I thought that they had, but it turns out that they did not endorse Reid.
