Sorry to hear that. Gun owners should stand together. Even though the NRA is far from perfect, we need as many members as possible as a show of strength. A lot of folks spend more each month on fancy coffee than the annual membership costs.same here. it said you could just consider it a gift and do nothing so thats what i did. didnt even open it up. i honestly only joined because i wanted to go to the convention, now i see you can go and just join there at the door so it basically like buying a ticket for the event. probably let my membership expire after the year is up.
