How self-centered! A piece of junk mail that millions get every day makes the OP think the NRA has tracked him down to seek revenge because of the dribble he posts on some obscure Internet forum.
As some of you may know I have posted many messages on here critical of guns, the NRA and of gun cultural. Yet, just today I received a letter at my office from none other then the NRA. What is alarming about this is:
1.) I only post messages on City-Data from my office, of which I am not listed on the address. The letter was addressed to me and sent to my office. The IP location from which I post on City-Data.
2.) The only other mail I personally receive to my work location are a handful of items related to business that I specifically signed up for. None of which are political in nature. The other people that work at my address with me did not receive a similar letter. One of which is a registered gun owner.
2.) I am not nor have I ever been a gun owner.
3.) Nobody else in my building received a similar letter.
4.) I'm Middle Eastern and a registered democrat, hardly the NRA's target audience.
5.) I don't debate, write, talk, blog or any other form of electronic communication in relation to gun control, except on this forum.
6.) My criticisms of the NRA and guns is not widely know amongst friends and family.
If this was sent to my home address I wouldn't be alarmed since I would assume its just mass marketing but the fact it was sent to a listed business and the location from which I have posted messages on here critical of the NRA is rather dubious.
The letter came with a membership form for the NRA and a bunch of coupons for free gun related accessories. So I am pretty confident its not a prank.
Should I be alarmed by this or is it a very very strange coincidence? Also read the letter if you can, its absolute unhinged.
LOL, you think you're that important that the NRA would bother tracking you down to send you a form letter? Get over yourself, you don't matter that much.
Its VASTLY more likely your name and address were sold to bulk marketers by Amazon or some other place you've bought online.

I received the same letter. It's 2 and a half pages long with a membership form and an offer for a free NRA duffle bag if you sign up. I'm certainly not "alarmed" about it. It's about as threatening as an offer for a magazine subscription.
I don't recall specifically posting on any NRA threads. I did post in the "Yeti" thread, but about coolers, not the NRA.
