It will take approximately 5 minutes to complete the questionnaire. We appreciate your time, your answers, and your support of the National Rifle Association. All the information you share will be kept anonymous.

Thank you,

NRA Publications

Yes I received that e-mail, but accidently deleted it. My guess is it's a typo.

If you're concerned about phishing, call the NRA and verify validity of the survey.

I recieved the same email and completed the survey.  It was mostly rifle and shotgun related and asked about number of and brands owned, how often you shoot for hunting and fun, and ammunition expenses.  Seemed legit to me.  If it were a phoney for anti 2A use, I would think they would ask about handguns and probably "assault" rifles in particular.

Tried NRAnews.org for craps and giggles and got a 'site under construction' message.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
