I joined SAF as a Life member last year. I wish I could figure out how to turn off all of the sky-is-falling snail-mail. Don't get me started on the "annual renewal" (might have said annual dues or something) letter. At least the NRA deluge was turned off with a phone call.
I assume these tactics are effective.... Just makes me a little sad.

Whomever wants to make a donation to SAF, please do. I joined for a year.

Lifetime member of the SAF since nearly twenty years ago.
I turned off all their solicitations, though, likewise those for the NRA & GOA.
I disbelieve most of their "Chicken Little"-type proclamations about impending 2A disaster.
Basically, I'm happy to help, and to "do my part" by supporting worthwhile pro-2A groups, but it's high time for the organizations in question not only to "put up or shut up", but to give us subscribers at least some significant degree of transparency about how our money is used.
WLP's exploitation of NRA monies has soured the whole pro-2A financial-support motivation.
"Therefore, since the world has still... Much good, but much less good than ill,
And while the sun and moon endure, Luck's a chance, but trouble's sure,
I'd face it as a wise man would, And train for ill and not for good." -- A.E. Housman
FWIW, I changed my Amazon Smile donation from the NRA to the SAF. Maybe after a year or two, that will be one little blue pill that WLP won't be buying on my dime.
