The National Rifle Association of America (NRA) is a gun rights advocacy group based in the United States. Founded in 1871 to advance rifle marksmanship, the modern NRA has become a prominent gun rights lobbying organization while continuing to teach firearm safety and competency. The organization also publishes several magazines and sponsors competitive marksmanship events. According to the NRA, it had nearly 5 million members as of December 2018, though that figure has not been independently confirmed.The NRA is among the most influential advocacy groups in U.S. politics. The NRA Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) is its lobbying division, which manages its political action committee (PAC), the Political Victory Fund (PVF). Over its history the organization has influenced legislation, participated in or initiated lawsuits, and endorsed or opposed various candidates at local, state, and federal levels. Some notable lobbying efforts by the NRA-ILA are the Firearm Owners Protection Act, which lessened restrictions of the Gun Control Act of 1968, and the Dickey Amendment, which blocks the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from using federal funds to advocate for gun control.
From mid-to-late 1970s, the NRA has become increasingly more criticized by gun control and gun rights advocacy groups, political commentators, and politicians. The organization has been the focus of intense criticism in the aftermath of high-profile shootings, such as the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, after which they suggested adding armed security guards to schools.
Heads up, there's 2 NRA Legislative workshops going on next week:
- 2/18/20 Marysville
- 2/19/20 Tacoma.

I received my NRA 2020 Ballot for election of the Board of Directors. I'm really ambivalent on whether to even bother to vote. With the troubles that the NRA is facing regarding Wayne LaPierre and the way money is being spent, I don't see that the NRA is taking any steps to address the issues...
I recently joined the NRA as a Life Member. I wanted to support and organization that I thought was fighting for my rights. Part of joining the NRA was to send me a NRA jacket. I got a letter from them in October and it stated that my Medium jacket was ready to be shipped. I called them...

I stumbled upon the NRA marksmanship program today and am interested in attempting to pass all of the levels to get to distinguished expert.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but from the googling I've done today it looks like all I need to do is acquire the official targets and have a fellow...
Rifle is in excellent, rust free and clean condition. Patented April 28, 1908, it has a hooded front sight and adjustable rear peep sight. Action is perfect as is the magazine which says it is for a 23A Sporter or NRA Match Rifle. The bore shines. It has what appears to be the original...
For some reason I still cannot paste into this NWFA website from my phone, but this story is on many websites including nysenate.gov and ammoland. He said that unfinished unserialized lowers were intended for competition shooters and should be banned.

Wanting to get my NRA rifle and pistol training certificates but don’t know where to start and I have some questions. am wanting to talk to someone who has them and teaches firearm classes. Thanks!
Fortunately, there is no chance this muppet is ever going to be POTUS. Still, it shows the mentality of many of the candidates: Beto O’Rourke says AK-47 and AR-15 owners will ‘have to sell them to the government’ if he becomes president
