I joined a few years back to see what the NRA was up to. It was my way of infiltrating the organization as a Democrat and supporter of gun controls.
With my $25 membership, I got a camo shoulder bag made in China, a flashlight bright enough that it seems like it could burn a hole in a wall, and endless mailings of solicitations for money and offers to win a whole armory for which I would have absolutely no use.
But in a presidential election year, don't just take the word of someone who says, "These people really hate Hillary Clinton." You can join and find out for yourself or browse through the publications at nra.org. |

What I discovered by reading your article is that you did not learn a single thing.
A closed mind can only be opened from within. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
