Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

I have never received a phone call from the NRA. And I'm a life member. i do get mailings from them every month or so and i toss them in the trash.

I just checked. There is no place on the NRA application that asks for your phone number. I know I never gave them mine.

You are probably getting phished.

I just tell them I have caller tracing and that since I'm a contract killer, their name has been added to my list.

The NRA is legendary for unwanted junk mail and phone calls.

It's legendary in internet tales. But as I said, I have never received any calls from the NRA on my land line or my cellphone. The NRA doesn't have my phone number. The membership application doesn't request a phone number. Why would anyone give their phone number to them?

I just toss their mailings with all other junk mail in the recycle bin before taking it in my house.

Our land-line system developed a fault - the voicemail feature doesn't kick in any more.

So if, we don't recognize the number or name shown on the little screen, we don't pick up.

It's amazing how many 1-800, 1-855, 1-866, 1-877, etc. numbers are ignored - they
are all sales, requests for donations, political ad other unwelcome crap. Shame we can't
set the dogs on 'em.

I finally succumbed to the 20th. century and got myself a flip -phone which I leave on
silent mode.

Saw a news program where it was said even if you pick up and hang up your number is now on a list to call. If I don't have your number saved I don't answer.
It's worse around the holidays btw.

I do the same thing OR sometimes just become a dumb hick...''Oh, golllley''!
