No Wonder The NRA Is Going Broke!

In some desperate attempt to still be relevant, the NRA just sent me(!!!) a free membership with a a free cooler as a gift!
Yes, that's right! Unsolicited free membership plus a gift from the NRA to a guy like me!
My wife couldn't keep a straight face when she handed me the mail!

Hell, why not join? You might find other ways to let them waste money.

Didn't we hear that their membership numbers were dwindling? Is this an attempt by them (providing free membership) to make it look like they are still relevant?

Their openness towards something as reasonable as the bump stock ban has the hardcore gun nuts dumping the NRA and flocking to even more extreme groups.

A lot of marketers still use it to drive mailings -n- stuff

Despite our relative broke-ness, we get all kinds of things intended for people who have lots of money due to our having a 'nice' zip code.

If there is no requirement to stay, you could argue that you are keeping them from spending some money buying Congressmen etc while giving them no money. Did they require a credit card to bill the membership automatically after the trial?

3 Years
No credit card.
Just the membership card and a 800 # to claim the cooler
I'm not calling the number, even though it says "no credit card required".

I don't think that is worth as much as they think it is! Display it next to your collection of Dale Jr Kentucky Fried buckets would tie in the room quite nicely though!

...it would be the first time that guitar was played by someone with skills.
Every guitar he plays is a waste of wood!

If it was a Yeti cooler, I'd consider, just to f*** with them. Those things are expensive...
