NRA (rant)

[msnden]

With assault on gun ownership I thought it best to join the NRA, I sent in my membership & thought all was well. a few days later a package arrives from the NRA, in it were the usual papers, my membership card, some sales filers, and a Chinese hat!!! Ya, A CHINESE HAT!!!! Like I'm going to wear a Frick'n hat made in china. I didn't join the NRA to support the Chinese economy. NOW LET IT BE KNOWN!!!! I did not want a hat, I DID NOT WANT ANYTHING!!! but if they want to send me a hat CHARGE ME for it & make it a MADE IN THE USA HAT!!!, The NRA, a protector of the constitution, supporting a Commie economy. I am sure there are plenty of hat companys here in the USA . The hat is going back to sender!!!! with a note of disgust, If the NRA continues to support the Chinese I will donate my funds in another direction, as I truly support the "Right to bare arms" I know, my dissension is really going to upset the NRA, (ya right!!) I just hope some others will join me and send a letter of protest, if not, wear the China hat with pride, while waving the American Flag, (better look, that may have been made in china also) If they want to send me something, send a Thank you!!! jmop msn

Stop being so anti-american.

If the Chinese don't get more money from us how are they going to fund our national debt? Geez. People these days.

Global Economy...

However I agree with you in that when I give money to a cause, I'm supporting the cause. I would be very happy if they put their money the same place I hope mine is going.

[Pat Cannon]

They're still doing that? Amazing.

[BigBlue]

You got a hat?? I didn't get a hat...

[Pat Cannon]

Actually I have no problem with international trade. If it was a nicely-made-in-China hat I would've kept mine, but it was a crappy cheap hat so I pitched it. And those who know me know, if it's too cheaply made for me, that's pretty bad.

Yeah -- I get where you are coming from msnden.
Sure, international trade is here to stay, and probably benefits the world economy.
On the other hand, I got pretty bent out of shape when I noticed that my nephew's Marine Corp sword was made in China.
To me that is a disgrace.

Nobody is stopping you from making US made swords for jar heads.

Yes, I am very military orientated, & aware of our troops receiving foreign made goods, I have written many letters to those who are suppose to oversee this & would encourage others to do the same, Although I don't believe the sword is standard issue. I want to Thank your nephew for his service. (please pass that on) msn
