    Boycotts Against NRA Have Backfire Effect

    The Law of Unintended Consequences Strike Back ......


    Boycotts Against NRA Have Backfire Effect,
    Galvanize Conservatives

    Daily Caller. 2/25/2018


    Social media was flooded over the weekend with conservatives
    announcing they had joined the NRA as an act of defiance.
    Emphasis mine.

    An Example:







    #tweetyournramembership




    Some Good Comments in the article and the Twitter Page...

    What do you think the reaction is going to be from all these Anti NRA
    Useful Idiots
    , when they Discover their Idiotic Attacks on Innocent,
    Blameless NRA Gun Owners actually caused an INCREASE in
    NRA Membership, AND an INCREASE in Donations ?.

      This just in from the free state of Georgia !
      It came after Delta desperately sought to find neutral ground in a gun debate that has very little, trying to soothe concerns among conservative lawmakers infuriated by the company's decision to end discounted rates for NRA members in the wake of the mass shooting at a Florida high school.


      Georgia senate to block 50 million dollar tax break unless Delta reinstates NRA discount!

      I'm thinking JA and family could enjoy the free state of Georgia after California puts the next nail into RKBA coffin.

          Yes while at the range yesterday a couple asked me if I were NRA ? I said I join 5 years at a time but am going to life after these attacks.

          They were NRA and made it point to recruit new shooters to NRA. I believe each of us can help by mentioning the NRA to recruit more members.

          That said there are ranges in the USA that require NRA membership to use.
          Yup they sign you up before paying range fee 's . I recall getting an extra year because I couldn't find my card!

            I would love to know how much the NRA gets from these discounts companies give to members. I've been a NRA member since the 1980's and don't think I have ever used a discounts.

              I've been with the NRA since the 70's year to year, and went lifetime 3yrs ago. I've also never taken advantage of any discount. Would love to know of the better ones to use.

                Very likely nothing its simply a negotiated perk between the companies for members. The same thing as offering a AAA discount.

                I never knew such perks existed. I will now try to support businesses which offer perks to NRA members.

                  Whatever you may think of the NRA (and there are some here who are critical of it), the old saying: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" is so true. The NRA is the sworn enemy of the left anti-gunners, therefore you should support it.

                    I've just donated in the past, but last weekend I joined the NRA due to the media blitz.

                      Total agreement, the NRA can be a bunch of dick heads at times but they are the ONLY group defending our gun rights. Changed my membership to lifetime a couple years back when they had those super cheap deals.

                        Best thing they can do now to grow their membership is bring back the deals.

                          If you find yourself in a fair fight, you're doing it all wrong.

                            This. They may not be the only 2A group, but they're the ones taking fire right now. As the saying goes, if you're taking flak, you're over the target.

                              With no more NRA type support, I've decided to not buy anything anymore.
