cola490 Posted April 15, 2018 at 10:13 AM Share Posted April 15, 2018 at 10:13 AM Back in late 2013 the NRA ran a promotion if you were sponsored by a Life Member the cost was $300.00 for a Life Membership. IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle50cal Posted April 15, 2018 at 03:15 PM Share Posted April 15, 2018 at 03:15 PM I'm ready to bump my membership up past life member. I passed on a deal I got a while ago to move to the next level and now regret it. I can't remember what is past life membership. Benefactor or endowment. I actually don't know how to do it, can anyone point me in the right direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On sale you can usually get each step up for $300 iirc instead of $1k+. The link I had for 2018 discounted upgrades is expired but I received a phone call this week offering an $300 upgrade so they are still out there.

Quiet Observer Posted April 15, 2018 at 10:44 PM Share Posted April 15, 2018 at 10:44 PM Both the NRA and ISRA do these special offers periodically.What are the benefits of the various levels other than getting another pin and certificate? Why does the NRA send a new life membership card every year? I have been a life member of both and of the California Rifle and Pistol Association since the late 1980s. What difference does it make to the running of the organizations if I do an upgrade, or every few years send in a donation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It starts with "Life" as the most basic Life membership, followed by the 3 you mention. I've been Endowment Life for about 15 years (don't remember exactly when) when they had one of those "half price specials". They keep trying to get me to go higher but having started SoSec. early, I have to be more careful with my money.Besides, with their "support" of the bump stock ban (and other things), I'd rather send some funds to the Second Amendment Foundation (saf.org) and Gun Owners of America - on general principles.

AlphaKoncepts aka CGS Posted April 16, 2018 at 02:09 PM Share Posted April 16, 2018 at 02:09 PM As a recruiter for the NRA I will say this... It's getting harder and harder to promote memberships under this current leadership backing so many gun control legislation such as bump stock bans and order of protection etc... I actually want a gun rights organization to stand up for my gun rights, not compromise those rights away. If I weren't a life member I would not renew this year. I joined GOA a few weeks ago.

I did make an assumption as my Endowment was $300 and the web page/mailer I received is offering Patron as $300 so I made an erroneous assumption on Benefactor. Edited my post.

vito Posted January 20, 2019 at 09:36 PM Share Posted January 20, 2019 at 09:36 PM Ive been a Life Member for a number of years, and rather than upgrade, I make donations to the NRA-ILA. I am also a member of the GOA but I dont think they have even a fraction of the clout of the NRA with policy makers. My guess is the NRA, in playing for the long run, decided on supporting the bump stock ban on the basis that one, very few people even had them (most people probably had never heard of them prior to the Las Vegas mass shooting) and second, it gives them the ability to tell critics and those on the fence that the NRA is not just an organization opposed to anything new. As to the reg flag laws, the NRA has always supported the idea that it was permissible to infringe on gun ownership if that infringement was to deny guns to criminals and the mentally ill. The concept of these laws is not the problem, it is the lack of due process. The NRA has supported the concept only when acceptable due process protections are part of the law. They are fighting a trend across the country to pass such laws, often with little or no due process protections. Due process would include the need for some evidence, not merely an allegation, of unfitness to own a gun by the complainant, would give the accused a chance to defend themself, with legal counsel, before the order to seize the guns was issued, and would ideally contain criminal penalties for anyone making knowingly false and malicious accusations. If we as concerned gun owners fail to support the NRA, I fear that we will lose everything in short order. And once lost, the chances of regaining our rights is slim to none. Once guns are in effect banned, the public gets used to being helpless victims that loss the belief in their own fitness to own firearms. Talk to most anyone in NYC. Generations of these people have been denied the right to own, let alone carry a gun without enormous effort, cost and the need for political clout. The proof that this public has bought into the rightness of their lack of freedom is shown in their endless re-election of those intent on an ever increasing environment of gun rights restrictions. We have to fight the good fight while we still have millions of 2nd Amendment supporters, and the NRA is our best resource for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly the NRA has only expressed a dislike for the lack of a grandfather clause, not the method of enacting the ban I do still support the NRA for the reasons you mentioned, but I'm afraid this one will bite us if it doesn't get struck down in courts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird76Mojo Posted January 21, 2019 at 03:33 AM Share Posted January 21, 2019 at 03:33 AM Personally I'm done with the NRA for good. No more money from me, ever. They've sold us out far too many times in their history. That's not what I pay them to do. I don't pay them to recommend bans.I can get that for free from the dems..

Bitter Clinger Posted January 22, 2019 at 04:00 PM Share Posted January 22, 2019 at 04:00 PM Wasn't it the NRA that lobbied our behalf to shape the concealed carry law we currently have in IL?Sure the NRA has made some questionable moves, but I don't think we should write them off completely.

RandyP Posted January 22, 2019 at 05:22 PM Share Posted January 22, 2019 at 05:22 PM I can only vote with MY wallet, no one else's. I renew my NRA membership annually because that method suits MY meager retirement budget best. Do I agree with all their positions? Nope. Do I stand beside all their spokespeople? Nope. More vital to the cause, is there a bigger gorilla in Washington trying to keep the 2nd Amendment alive for us all? Nope. As hickok45 always says at the start of his youtube vids (and HE offers an NRA membership discount too), join the NRA and as many other gun organizations as you can afford. They are there for US, warts and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
