First I would like to say I believe in the NRA. They are the biggest organization that actively fights for our right to own firearms.
Having said that, I do not like the way the NRA campaigns for money. I find their campaign letters rude and near insulting. I was getting several letters a month from them nearly demanding money for some campaign. These letters are worded to the sense that "IF YOU DO NOT SEND MONEY IMMEDIATELY, this bill will pass and it will ALL BE YOUR FAULT!".
When I didn't renewal my membership, I got a letter from them saying that "Hilary is proud of people like me, who decided to quit supporting the 2nd amendment by not renewing their NRA membership".
About two weeks after my membership expired, I got a VERY annoying call from them. It was one of those sales pitch calls that the sky is falling now that Hilary is running for Pres, and only give you a second or so to answer very simple questions like "You support the second amendment right?" if you said anything except Yes or No, he would interrupt you and repeat the question. I was about to walk out the door when this call came in, and I was trying to interrupt the guy to tell him I had to go that the wife and kids were in the car waiting on me, and he kept on and on with his sales pitch. Very annoying, I ended out hanging up on the jerk.
While I will continue support the NRA by sending in anonymous donations, I probably will never be a member where they can track me down my mail, phone or email.
