IMO if you own a firearm and are interested at all in keeping it, you should/must be an NRA member. GOA, JPFO, etc. are fine but just join the NRA anyway - and yes I am throwing darts at people I like who refuse to join. Just do it. They are the ONLY voice you have, the other firearms orgs or political parties (R, D, or L) will not EFFECTIVELY say diddly squat for you and your firearms rights. None, zip, nada. As a friend would say... wind puddin' and rabbit tracks.
BTW, brag here... my EPL was paid off last month. Real paid-in-full life member. Now time to think about the next level. I expect I will do so when attending 2009 Meetings in Phoenix ( shuss, don't tell my wife).
Witch about the NRA all you want. If you want to keep your firearms, join and support or we are all toast.
