Yesterday I saw that the day before was the NRA anniversary, so I started looking around on their website. I chose to take the plunge in getting a membership with them. Got subscription to AR and I am also supposed to receive a pretty good size bag, pin, and decals. The only thing that was a little disgruntling for me is it didnt take them but about five seconds to hit me up for more money to donate to them to help them out. That wasnt cool after just paying them several hundred dollars!!! I hope this is not what it is going to be from here on out always asking for donations. You long term members does the NRA constantly hound you for donations???
 
Yeah while I don’t get much in mail fear mongering anytime I renew my Instructor stuff (which is off years of my membership) they still are not bashful on hitting me up.

And the fact every edition of American Rifleman has a Turkish Tsias, Girsan or Canik on the cover so maybe they should rename it Turkish Rifleman!

Yep. GOA does too. Any group you become a member of these days does. I ignore them.

I’m a NRA lifetime member and can honestly say I don’t get much solicitation for donations except sometimes through the mail. Since WLP left, I’ve not donated, wanting them to reduce the board which I think is over 70 people currently (almost all boards of major corporations are in the 10-12 range, so why is the NRA’s that large?)
Now I can honestly say that the worst group for donation solicitation for me is the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), which I’m an annual member of. I do donate to them as they do good work (along with the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) which I’m a lifetime member of)), bringing lawsuits forth to help the 2A cause. I’ll usually get 2 per day emails asking for money that I just ignore (you can opt out, but I just delete them and occasionally will give them some $$$).
Gun owners of America (GOA), I’m an annual member of, asks for $$$ more than the NRA but not more than the FPC (at least in my case).

That's all it is now... but they're trying to get better.

Congrats on a very cheaply made Chinese bag. :)
