The National Rifle Association

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is a prominent American organization that advocates for gun rights and the Second Amendment, which protects the right to keep and bear arms. Founded in 1871, it promotes firearm education, safety, and training while influencing gun legislation and public policy. The NRA has a significant political presence, often lobbying for laws that favor gun ownership and opposing restrictions. It also offers membership benefits, including training courses, competitions, and advocacy efforts aimed at preserving gun rights for individuals.
