The NRA burned my butt again. Here is a letter in response to an unsolicited shooting DVD they sent me along with a "if you don't want to pay for it return it envelope. I wish these folks would get their act together and start acting like they have a little bit of integrity and respect for their membership.
If any of you got the same thing in the mail feel free to use my letter as a template to return it.

Dear Sir,
One thing I will guarantee you is that I did not ask to be sent this DVD. I also did not ask to be on the hook for $12.95 if I don’t return it.
When I was a much younger man I was a faithful member of the NRA and thought it was an honorable organization with good motives. It was scams like this that caused me to drop my membership years ago. I got tired of the constant junk mail and the renewal notices every two months to trick people into renewing their annual memberships two or three times a year. Yes I fell for that one until I finally caught on.
It has been years since I was an NRA member. This year I joined again because the club where my daughter’s shooting team practices requires it. I was guaranteed that the unethical scam tactics and the floods of junk mail had stopped. I joined back up and I get this crap pulled on me.
I don’t put up with this nonsense. When a credit card company pulls this I pay off the card, close the account, and stop all future dealings with that company. This type of activity is unethical, underhanded, and downright crooked. If I sent my product to my customers who had not ordered it with an amount due bill, leaving to them the responsibility of returning the product to avoid being charged, My company would go under.
These are the kind of tactics you expect from an ACORN fund drive, some credit card company with no moral or ethical underpinnings, a Nigerian prince who needs to use your account to hide his country’s fortune, or some kind of pyramid scam. You don’t expect it from an organization that is supposed to have integrity or from an organization that is supposed to be fighting to protect your rights. It’s a crying shame that you can’t trust your government or the organization that is supposed to be protecting your rights from the government to treat you with respect.
I am returning your whole package to you at my cost, plastic CD case and all. Ya that was a good one too. That line about there being federal regulations preventing the return of the plastic case was an exercise in pure bovine scatology. Those regulations didn’t seem to prevent you sending it to me. You just wanted to save the cost of having the whole package returned to you. Just how stupid do you think your members are?
Please take me off your junk mail list and please refrain from sending me any more ‘OFFERS” like this. If you need your membership to donate a little extra here and there just ask for it. Don’t try and con us out of it.
