Cheaper Membership to NRA?

Postby cmj685 on Sat Jul 16, 2011 10:17 am

I got my renewal yesterday for the 5-year membership to NRA--$125! Wow! That is a lot of money. Five years ago I was working and probably had the money, but not working these days makes that amount look huge. Wondering if any of you know any cheaper ways to membership in the NRA? I would like to continue to be a member but probably not going to happen at that amount a year!

That's just $2/mo. to support an organization that fights for your rights 24/7/365. Best deal around if you ask me.

Ive been a Lifetime member for the last 10 years and back then they allowed Quarterly payments of something like 19.00?
An awesome deal for supporting our rights. Not to mention a certain amount of bragging rights for the LifeTime Membership.
Recently they had a deal for Lifetime members to sponsor a Son or Daughter. 300.00 and they are LifeTime members as well. My Son now has a lifetime membership :D

No it isn't. It's s little bit north of $2.08. Who was your math instructor? :P But seriously, CMJ, your retired, not disabled. Right?

Well, most people who know me would say I was disabled! :D Can I get a special deal if I am disabled?
Either way, the money is not there right now.

Isn't it like 10 bucks on the NRA's website if you opt out of all the freebees and magazine etc?

If you are active duty, retired or disabled vet( i think for these its a reduced lifetime membership, and active is free) they hook you up with anual membership if I understand corectly.

Correct me if I'm wrong-
Wouldn't giving the NRA more money make sure that they can better fight for gun rights?

So why cheap out?

There are plenty of ways to fight for gun rights... Simply buying a firearm or related product helps. Having a free, discounted, or lifetime membership is better than nothing. Some folks might rather give their money to smaller or local organizations too. I don't believe the NRA is exactly hurting when it comes to funding.

And, not just clubs... anyone on MNGUNTALK can also join, renew or gift a membership to someone (gift... holidays... just an idea!)

They have a deal now to gift/join/renew for $25 instead of $35:
