NRA (National Rifle Association)

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is a U.S. nonprofit organization founded in 1871, primarily focused on advocating for gun rights and the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which protects the right to bear arms. The NRA promotes firearm education, safety training, and responsible gun ownership. It engages in lobbying efforts to influence gun legislation and policy, often opposing measures perceived as restricting gun rights. The organization also supports shooting sports and provides resources for enthusiasts and hunters. Its influence in American politics and culture has made it a significant voice in discussions about firearms and public safety.
