Times are strange and ultra-liberals control our country.

We need to have representation in order to halt the certain infringement of our gun rights.

The NRA has made it easy to become a life member. This life membership costs $1000 (Less if you are a disabled vet, Junior,or over 65) but the NRA has an easy pay plan. Pay just $25.00 now, and $25.00 per quarter until you are paid up.
