Why Did I Sue the NRA?

Some individuals on gun forums are throwing around a lot of slurs against me for having filed suit against the National Rifle Association for alleged violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act [aka TCPA].

In short, because for the last 4 years they [and their agents] called me at least 5 times per week, sometimes 10 times per week, yes, one to two times per day, every week, for approximately four years.

I asked them on at least a dozen occasions to leave me alone, to stop calling, to remove me from their marketing list, and they never let up. At one point they shifted from calling my home phone and began to call my cellular phone. I would be in class, at work, out with friends, and the phone would ring and it would be the NRA asking for money...

I had signed up for a 5 year membership and within a month of signing up the calls began, "RENEW NOW! PROTECT YOUR GUN RIGHTS!"

I repeatedly asked that they respect my request not to be contacted and they spat in my face by calling me at will without any regard for my repeated requests to be left alone.

After four years of their abuse I decided I had endured enough.

I have no sympathy for the NRA and I hope they are buried in class action litigation from their own members because they hire marketing firms who relentlessly harass their members.

The NRA is a money hungry monster that has worked with the legislature to craft every major piece of gun control legislation ever passed. They have absolutely no incentive to challenge the major pieces of gun control, they do NOT want to secure our gun rights because their existence and their revenue depends on our fear. If they secured our gun rights they would put themselves out of business. They eagerly anticipate each new panic so they can start up the auto-dialers and deliver millions of calls to their members demanding money "to fight the good fight."

In short, they do not want the war against guns to ever end because their revenue stream is directly dependent upon the amount of fear their members are feeling in regards to the prospect of losing their gun rights.

The NRA is out for money, they don't care if their members want to be left alone and left in peace.
