National Rifle Association Of America

I really have to say I am quite disappointed. I am not getting my monthly subscription magazine in the mail. The way I see it, it's either, The Post Office is taken it or the NRA is not sending my magazine.

These people empower all domestic terrorists and school shooters. They are truly disgusting and have outlived their once useful and honorable services.

Deceptive communication in fundraising campaigns, riddled with falsehoods, aims solely to secure funding for NRA employees. This organization appears uninterested in any purpose beyond amassing money from Republican supporters who vote for Trump. Perhaps it’s time to disband them—too large to be of genuine assistance, yet too insignificant to accomplish anything beyond financial gain. Their tactics resemble pump-and-dump schemes, exploiting fear to promote ammunition and firearms sales through gun dealerships

No more cowboy tv shows; cowboy movies! There just propaganda now.

If you are a member of this civil rights organization; you are contributing to the mask killings. Said no to military related guns.

The NRA is out of touch with reality. Even gun owners want more safety nets in place. As a previous service member I have fired weapons and know the power they have to kill and kill quickly. I also was properly trained to use them. We have no background checks on many gun sales. No training or registration requirement. And severely dangerous weapons on the streets that are not used for hunting or any real scenarios expect being used in almost all mass shootings in our country! They have a tight grip on Republican's and cannot see that American's want change. I want to send my children to school knowing they will be safe, I want to go shopping or to church without worrying about me and children will die. This is not freedom, this is one organizations agenda being pushed on others. Teachers go to school to teach children- they are not security guards or police officers, they are underpaid and under appreciated as it is in America. Putting more on them instead of taking responsibility for our negligence as a nation is just a scapegoat. Gun violence worsened when laws changed in 2004 look where we are now. The worst gun violence of any developed nation. This is an American problem Mexico has the second highest school shootings at 8, America the great 288!! This is not normal and not okay- wake up and listen to the people. More and more people die everyday, including child who never again hug their parents or grow to be the person they should be---because of this association!!

Stuck on internet with a class that will not work. IT DOES NOT WORK. I AM STUCK ON CHAPTER 1.2 AND IN A LOOP. I TRIED EVERYTHING. I NEED THIS CLASS.

NO f ing support. I have called, emailed, even wrote email to president of NRA.

Horrible. I want my money back, and believe you me, aint joining as member.

I have always been a supporter of the NRA and gun rights. However i’m Tired of calling them. I paid for a lifetime subscription back in the early 70’s. The NRA has stoped sending me magazines several times. They stoped again and I’m tired of calling them. Be careful if you subscribe to their lifetime membership it’s BS.

Nothing but misplaced morals and corrupts leadership. We took a gun safety course and it was an endless pitch for fundraising and one sided political views. Terrible.

The NRA has misplaced its moral compass and the reason for its creation. While there is nothing wrong with defending the 2nd amendment and gun ownership, a line in the sand must be drawn as to what is common sense, what keeps our citizens safe and what does not, and what did our founding fathers intend when the 2nd amendment was written? I used to believe that the NRA was an organization created to advocate for the protection and safety of the citizens of the United States. Today however, the safety of our citizens is second to the NRA's distorted belief that the safety of our citizens, children and the innocent are second to gun ownership in whatever form that takes as well as the profits of gun manufacturers. This is flawed. Our founding fathers sought to protect the people by allowing the people to protect themselves with gun ownership and that is valid. The NRA Board and Executive Director however, have taken the position that the citizens of the U.S.A. shall not be protected because the right to use a gun outflanks the right to be protected from a gun.

Lets be clear. There is no slippery slope like the NRA would want us to believe. That's a convenient excuse for them to harden their stance. There is no threat to the 2nd amendment and no recent Democrat has ever made an attempt to repeal the 2nd amendment. But what has happened is that that Federal law prohibits the ownership and use of machine guns and other weapons designed to kill as many people as possible as quickly as possible. The NRA was never against that so what happened? What happened is that the Executive Director has done a magnificent job of convincing legislature candidates that their 5 million (self reported) members are a force to be reckoned with. However, there are over 100 million U.S. Citizens. So why and how is the NRA so powerful? or is it a loud bear with only dentures for teeth? I'd rather support a guns rights organization that focuses on the rights of our children first rather than the rights of gun manufacturers and anonymous donors who are too afraid to identify themselves. I want to support an organization that is an advocate for the 2nd amendment without being an advocate first the gun manufacture or an advocate for the Executive Director. I want to support an advocate for the safety of my children, family, neighbors and those who I am with and not with. I want to support an advocate for the safety of the citizens of the United States of America. I will not support a radicalized leader or its board who has tarnished a once great organization and I will never support an organization that places it profits, salaries, and moral compass before the safety and best interest of the people and citizens of this great country. A one star rating is a gift for this once great organization.

The NRA takes many unpopular stances. So does the ACLU. But defending liberty is a sacred responsibility. Small infringements start us down the slippery slope to socialism and totalitarianism. The NRA strives to halt this tendency. It is a nonprofit by definition, because it spends the funds it gets, rather than making profits. That said, people should recognize that nonprofit does not mean it is necessarily a charity. It is not a 401(c). We cannot deduct donations to the NRA from our taxes, more's the pity.

I believe in responsible gun ownership. I grew up in rural America and guns and huntIng were part of our culture. But the latest rhetoric coming out of the NRA is disturbing. How sad that the original mission of this organization- to provide gun safety training to the public - has been so transmogrified into advancing the interests of gun manufacturers. The NRA board needs to take a long look at themselves. Do you really want to be on the side of fearmongering and smearing the reputation of high school students? How low will you stoop? Is it truly worth it?

The NRA should not be a tax-exempt non-profit organization. They help promote conspiracy theories of tyranny to justify the second amendment. They use the second amendment to justify having unfettered right to enjoy a hobby such as target shooting and hunting at the expense of lives. Making it easy for the members to get a gun also makes it easier for someone with ill intentions to get a gun. Who really needs an AR-15 with bump-stocks for hunting and target practice? Now, they want to add silencers on top of that. They really don't care about what will happen if it gets into the wrong hands. As long as they get to enjoy their hobby and make as much money as possible and promote their candidates. They are a self-righteous, arrogant lot. "law abiding citizens" Most of us are law-abiding citizens, we don't need to brag about it. It shouldn't give us the right to weapons that can fire 800 rounds per minute. Trump hinted at background checks and banning bump stocks. What happened was the sale of bump stocks went way up and instead Trump's solution is to arm teachers and they can get a "little bonus". No coincidence that the NRA contributed 30 million dollars to his campaign. Any other hobby, such as scuba diving, one needs to be trained, and it's only your own life you are putting at risk. The NRA is all about money and power.

I think the NRA is great. I served proudly as my family has since the revolution. And I have seen a shift to mutate a literal written constitutional right. The NRA has recently had to step up their game to protect this. But it is up to the people to insure this it is the governed who rjle this republic not the ones in office. We must defend this right by the very means our forefathers gave us. And this starts with our first amendment . of which the second is explicitly written right after as proof to why we have the 2nd. Ooooohhh rahhhhhh America

My uncle was a lifelong member of the NRA. But I think their mission has shifted from one that was worthy of charitable status to a big money lobbying organization that should not have a nonprofit status.

I am disgusted by their approach to rational gun sense and I think they distort the 2nd amendment. I think it abhorrent that NRA has targeted those struggling with mental illness (the large majority of which are never violent) to shift the discussion of rational gun sense and universal background checks to blame a vulnerable population that is already stigmatized.

I would NEVER support them because their mission is badly flawed, contorted & definitely not worthy of a charity.

The NRA has been by my side since the first time I bought and trained with a gun. I take my right to self-defense very seriously.

I volunteer for hours on end, year after year. This has been one the most rewarding experiences for me and the members I meet with. Everyone I meet with is incredibly friendly, realistic and down to earth. There are so many types of NRA members that you can't really say that NRA is for old white guys. So take a second and remember this when the lamestream press talks dirty about NRA.

The NRA continually trains and educates regular American families like mine to enjoy shooting sports safely and responsibly, and to think about what freedom and liberty mean to my life.

The NRA is nothing more than a Tax Exempt advertising firm for the Gun Manufacturers. The NRA has bought and own members of Congress who, at the insistence of their master (the NRA) have written laws that put the general public at risk. For instance:

1) Senator Todd Tiahrt (R) - who is owned by the NRA - added an amendment to a bill regarding the ATF. The rule change written by the NRA and known as the Tiahrt Amendment, forced the justice department to destroy within 24 hours the records of any gun buyers. The overall impact of the Amendment made it much harder for police to clamp down on illegally distributed guns.

2) Senator Sensenbrenner (R) - who is also owned by the NRA - added an amendment to the Patriot Act that was co-authored by the NRA - that prohibited the President from appointing a Director to the Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF). Thus, there has been NO ATF director in 6 years. The result is without an ATF Director, laws. Without an ATF Director, gun sales on the black market cannot be monitored.

3) NRA Vice President Wayne LaPierre said, “If I were to select a jack-booted group of fascists who were perhaps as large a danger to American society as I could pick today, I would pick the ATF." -- It was that comment that compelled President HW Bush to drop his NRA membership.

4) The NRA backed legislation prohibiting AFT agents from inspecting a firearms dealer more than once a year.

5) The NRA fought against the creation of a federal registry to track gun sales and backed legislation from releasing information from its firearms trace database.

6) The NRA opposes legislation that would close the gun show loophole requiring background checks for all gun sales.

7) The NRA opposed measures that would allow background checks to block terror suspects from buying guns.

8) The NRA fought for an Indiana Law that allows people to shoot police officers who are called to a home on Domestic Violence (see Indiana Law)

9) The NRA fight for laws that will block employers from banning firearms in their place of business.

10) The NRA fights against laws that will enable law enforcement from enforcing current laws.

I was chosen for NRA Foundation’s Youth Education Summit (YES). We are the future leaders of this country thanks to training and scholarships from the NRA!

There are few other organizations as focused and effective as the NRA. I am a Life Member, and Firearms Instructor. They fight brilliantly for the protection of the Second Amendment, and have so many incredible programs and benefits.
