So the point is so that at the NRA they can say "look Cody signed up on 12/2/09 to say piss of obama" ? I guess that is what they were after anyway. So when I sign up for the "real membership" what kinds of benefits are there in it? Just curious I'll sign up the full membership when I can.
Take a look at their web site. There's an entire section dedicated to member benefits. It pays for itself in no time with all the discounts alone you receive by showing your NRA card at purchase time with merchants. Like I mentioned before, I saved hundreds on health insurance by switching to an NRA recommended company. FTW!
