Would 4 million more members make a difference? How about 40 million? How would it be any different?

PS. I am a member already.

I can see the side of those who choose to stand back.
As a member myself, I am disappointed that the NRA has been in a complete defensive role in this fight.
I read they won 100,000 new members in the last 18 days. That's a minimum of $2.5 million!

They need to go on offense with full page ads, infomercials, whatever they can to counter the liberal bias the average non-gun owner is getting from the MSM and this administration.
What are they saving the money for? SPEND IT! If not now - when?

I did for 30 some years and they used my dues to fund democRats in my state in 2010.

I will rejoin when they call for armed resistance to this illegitimate government.

Of those 80 million legal gun owners, my guess is 95% to 99% will actively comply with or at least passively ignore even the most destructive, evil, and unconstitutional gun ban that Obama, Pelosi, and DiFi can imagine. That only leaves 800,000 to 4 million who would actively resist the confiscation. It's a shame it's not a bigger number, but I hope that is big enough to deter the far left from provoking violence. My big concern is whether the socialists care how many die if it furthers their grab for power.

Be cautious of emails supposedly from the NRA.

I recently received one that wanted me to renew my membership by clicking on the conveniently provided link.

The underlying 'link' did not go to any website with NRA in it.

Also, I am not a member of the NRA, so I have no reason to be receiving a 'renewal' request from them.

FYI

It's good to see that the NRA appears to be standing strong against this coordinated onslaught.

I plan to purchase 5 year memberships for myself and my wife in January 19th: Gun Appreciation Day.

I learned this statistic during a local gun club orientation and basic skills class last week. I plan to join the club and the NRA with my next paycheck. I look forward to the association with the club members and learning how to handle various firearms.

I don’t think most people think in terms of advocacy or strength through association. Thus, they don’t even consider benefits of NRA membership. They don’t/won’t realize impact of legislation or NRA’s impact on legislation until they try to purchase ammo or guns.

Although formerly not a gun owner, I did belong off and on to the NRA. I understood/understand the benefits of association and advocacy and have always believed in preserving 2nd amen rights. I’m glad to take this stand, expect to use my marketing/communications skills to help the club inform/educate the public, but I also “know” it’ll put a big target on my name with Obama and his ilk

I am a lifetime member who wished he wasn’t the moment they supported Harry Reid!

I will support them 100% in this fight, but lets not forget who helped up keep Dingy Harry in the Senate.
