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.

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 call them back and harass them. One bastard was a imposter saying he’s a FBI agent I told him to fuck off and he hung up. I called him back till he finally blocked my call
