Interesting Pew survey

Posted by David Hardy · 23 June 2017 05:07 PM

Summed up here. A majority believe that the NRA either has the right amount of influence, or should have more influence.

In line with other surveys of which I have heard, 19% of gun owners believe they are members of the NRA. If that were true, NRA membership would be 10-20 million. Prior surveys have found that many people are not too clear about what makes you a member, and believe that belonging to a gun club or having taken an NRA course is all it takes.

Sounds more like a pew pew pew poll.

As a Patron level life member, one of my enduring frustrations is the failure to engage at the training or purchase initial contact to make clear what is required to become a member. I wonder what a cost-benefit analysis would show about the possibility of giving every new firearms purchaser or first time attendee at a training course an introductory membership for 90 days as a way to initiate contact about the organization and give us the opportunity to give them information about the benefits of membership?
Jus' wonderin'!
