A Public Opinion Poll

The National Rifle Association, while staying mostly quiet in the immediate aftermath of the mass shooting in Connecticut, has registered an average of 8,000 new members a day since the tragedy, an NRA source told Fox News.

While this broadly aligns with trends seen after similar incidents in the past, the surge in membership this time is said to dwarf past trends.

Good new to be sure.

80 million plus gun owners and only 4 million in the NRA. Thats not a lot of vote power to go up against this emotional gun control avalanche coming down the hill!

I would imagine quite a lot of those #'s are those who have let there status laps and are renewing. I can say I have been bad about renewing my membership over the years ! I always renew just sometimes not right away.
