National Rifle Association (NRA)

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is a U.S.-based organization founded in 1871 that advocates for gun rights and promotes firearm education and safety. It represents millions of gun owners and supports the Second Amendment, which protects the right to bear arms. The NRA engages in political advocacy, lobbying for legislation that aligns with its pro-gun stance, and opposing gun control measures. It also offers training programs and recreational activities related to shooting sports. The organization plays a significant role in American debates about gun legislation, personal freedom, and public safety.
