NRA up?

reuped my wife and I, sent the ILA a donation ... thought I heard that the jump in membership is over 200k since the babbling began over new gun laws ...
 
Spoke with someone I know at NRA from the days when I was there.

Word is that the membership increase is a lot closer to 300,000, if not over 300K, at this point.

And, supposedly, rumors are circulating inside NRA that weekly donations are now pushing between 5 and 10 million.
 
Twitter is all abuzz with this #GunsOverPeople nonsense, and I find it heartening to note that a fair majority of tweets directed at it or also followed by the #NRA.

In other words, it appears, to me atleast, that the NRA is also winning the fight on what would normally be the battlefield of the younger, anti-gun crowd.

Good day.
 
Okay, Twitter is a social networking site in which you can use 140 characters of text to express an opinion on something. Or in the case of my Fraternity, which place has the best hot wings and hotest wait staff, but I digress.

As part of your 140 characters, you use a # to indicate what you are talking about. Example would be something like:

Good job Wayne #NRA.

That is something I "tweeted" after Wayne LaPiere did his interview/response thing a few days back.

Today, after the President's press conference, the # of GunsOverPeople began to garner a lot of "tweets" as people heeded the President's call for people to voice thier opinions on gun control. Shortly after this became a popular twitter posting, pro-gun people began to post with the #GunsOverPeople as well, but with a pro gun bent.

It was good to see that on social media, especially twitter, which is something conservatives, the GOP, and the NRA sometimes lack when attempting to spread the message.
 
Not right now, though the NBA is and I got confused for minute. :)

But yes, it was earlier in the day, even though most of the "tweets" directed towards the NRA were actually of an anti-gun bent.

The inter-webs can be wierd that way.
 
I just signed up to be a life member - $300, thanks to another board member who allowed me to use his member number (posted in another forum). I just got all of my life membership goodies today: Nice looking NRA Life Member Certificate, lapel pin, membership card that says "life member", some patches and stickers. The goodies are unexpected and fun to get, but I'm quite proud to finally be a life member. I had been a member for 10 years prior.
 
I know two fellows that have been in that group of gun owners that let
the 4millions of us NRA members carry the weight of the 2nd defense, who just joined the NRA. WOW, WOW, if you knew these two you would know
that is really saying something!
I'm greatly encouraged by this.
 
In organizing the Gun Appreciation Day/Guns Across America gathering in this town, I have sponsored 3 more life members and expect another 2 or three to take action in the first of the week. Several were people who had let their membership lapse because "NRA was compromising."

I have also been instrumental in getting 7 or 8 new members for SAF, which is as important.

The NRA supports the people. The Obama regime and it's idiots are saying the NRA supports the gun manufacturers. Doesn't even really matter as "We the people" and gun manufacturers interests are aligned. There is also a lot of "We the peoples" who own gun companies.
 
Saw a bumper sticker on a truck in front of me at the gas station today that said

"NRA: Lobbying for your civil rights since 1871"

Made me chuckle appreciativly.
 
The current NRA membership only equals about 5% of America's gun owners.
Where the hell are the other 95 %? If your not a member, you can still send a donation to the NRA-ILA. We are all in the fight together, don't let anyone tell you otherwise, today it's the 'nasty black rifles' -tomorrow it may be your trap or skeet gun. Join the NRA or at least donate. We all got a dog in this fight.
I'm a Life Member NRA and support the NRA-ILA as much as I can, to do otherwise is to give up.
 
So the NRA is "trending"?

Yep. Has been since 1871.

Hehehehehe:D

One day I'll have a life membership-I've got to move first. No cash for the forseeable future. Luckily I extended my membership last year and it doesn't expire til 2017.

On another non-gun centric forum I occassionally frequent, a poster there went on a diatribe concerning the NRA's iPhone games and the NRA in general.

Amind the cries of how dare the NRA release a video game after they denounce them, his key tenet was the NRA was too "conservative" and a "lobby" for the gun "industry" and didn't represent gun owners at all.

I was flabbergasted.

So some of that 95% is lost to the main stream media portrayal of the NRA as a breeding ground for James Earl Ray and not the good the NRA does every day.
