Nope. I used to be, and stopped paying dues when they started sending me fliers telling me who to vote for in my local elections. Not educating me about the various candidates' stances on the views, but expecting me to blindly follow their instructions like a sheep, when we're talking about elections involving people my father went to high school with, in a town of a couple thousand people.
No thank you.
I respect that the NRA does a lot of good, but I don't vote blindly along the lines laid down by somebody else - if I wanted to be told who to vote for without thinking for myself, I'd be a Democrat or a Republican.
No offense intended towards any NRA members here, but my personal experience with the organization left a sour taste in my mouth.
No offense taken here. I understand, and I applaud you for standing up for your convictions. I also don't agree with some of their tactics either, but I understand and support their main goal of the protecting of our 2ND amendment rights. When you have an organization that's as big as the NRA, not everyone is going to agree of all of their goals. But, I would have to say without a doubt, that if it wasn't for them (us), we would certainly not have the rights that we currently have. Things would be much worse without the NRA. Just something to think about.
