So, paying a reduced fee makes a guy less then a full member?? Get off your high horse!! Guys look to pay what they can afford.
It's not a high horse.
Guys should join the NRA for what they stand for, and what they fight for. To do that takes money.
Even worse though in my book is the majority of firearms owners who don't belong AT ALL, at ANY level, and let the minority carry their load for them.
If you can afford a rifle, a shotgun, or a handgun, you can certainly afford the cost of one box of ammo every year to pay for an NRA annual membership.
