This Benefactor Life Member feels hard pressed to send money to the NRA for anything until the financial impropriety issues have been addressed.
Well, I still wholly support the mission, and at discount prices don't mind adding a little bling to show it. No window decals or bumper stickers, though. Anecdotal tales or not, I don't want to advertise on my truck that I probably have a gun inside. T-shirts, sweatshirts, range stuff, coffee mugs? Sure!
Besides, for this purpose I'm paying for merchandise, not sending an extra donation. This other Benefactor Life Member does give a bit annually to the NRA-ILA, but now that Amazon Smile has gone away and the NRA Civil Rights Defense Fund no longer gets a pittance from that, I haven't donated anything else in a while.
That said, I may not be adding any range bling at all right now. I got a friendly email reminder that I'd left stuff in my shopping cart (no kidding, because the system won't let me check out), but so far no response to my support request about the check-out problem.
