We’ve always known that the strength of the NRA is in its numbers—millions of everyday law-abiding Americans who lend their support to NRA’s never-ending fight to protect their inalienable right to keep and bear arms. It’s very simple: Without members, we don’t exist. And without NRA, the future of our gun rights runs the risk of further erosion by those who seek to trample on them.

Every member counts—even those who carry a bit of sway through their star power. The most recent unabashed support comes from country music star John Rich who, in this video, implores members to renew and extend membership invitations to family and friends who support the Second Amendment.

"You see folks, our strength is in our numbers,” Rich says. “If you've let your membership lapse, please renew it right now and sign up your spouse and your circle of friends." He added, "We have a huge task coming up in this November election. It's a massive opportunity to set the country on a better path, and believe me, the outcome will affect us for generations to come. A strong NRA is needed now more than ever before, so please join us."

John Rich has a lot more to say to NRA members. Watch the entire video to hear Rich’s important message.
