They played a little message from ole Wayne LaPierre saying Hillary and McCain were sponsering a bill to ban gun shows. Then they asked for more money to fight this. Well I am flat broke and can not reup my membership but I can write to my congressman and senators.
The lady was real nice but she was real pushy after about 5 "no I can't give you money", she finally got the hint.
Not today, but I have gotten them before. Sometimes they're nice, but the NRA has kind of exasperated me with their constant pushes for more and more money above all else.

I got a call a few weeks ago from them wanting me to buy an autographed hard copy book from LaPierre. I forget the price but it was very expensive. I said no thank you. The guy would not stop. He wanted me to buy the paperback at less money. Actually wanted me to buy 5 of them. Again I said no thank you. He got to be so pushy that I had to hang up on him. I tried very hard to be nice but this guy was a jerk! I told him so before slamming down the phone.
I will still send them money..in fact I have 2 checks sitting on my table right now for the ILA and to renew membership but dang!! If they get this pushy again I may not renew. I try to send some when I can...dont call me at home wanting money too!!!
