This is all irrelevant; anyone can get a discount on a car rental. I'm an NRA member to protect my Second Amendment rights very effectively. Remember when Congress banned certain semiauto rifles and magazines? In the 1994 elections there was a wholesale cleanup. A sitting Speaker of the House was defeated for the first time in over a century.
Remember when many in Congress with close cooperation of the vice-president tried to close our traditional gun shows? In the presidential elections later that year the state of West Virginia, one of the most reliable Democratic states, gave its seven electoral votes to the Republican. That made the difference in a close election. Everyone talked about Florida, but without West Virginia the Republicans couldn't have won. West Virginia is now one of the most reliable Republican states. When we received calls from the NRA asking for election funds, we responded.
We neither abandon our friends nor do we ever forgive our enemies. We are the NRA.
