Why join the NRA?

The NRA sponsors a range of programs about firearm safety.

The NRA was established in 1871,

initially to promote marksmanship training.

As a recreational group designed to

"Promote and encourage rifle shooting",

The National Rifle Association has grown into one of

the most powerful political organizations in the US.

It lobbies heavily against all forms of gun control and argues

aggressively that more guns make the country safer.

Protect and defend the United States Constitution,

especially the Second Amendment.

Promote public safety, law and order, and the national defense.

Train members of law enforcement agencies, the armed forces, and people of good repute in the safe handling and effective use of firearms.

Foster and promote shooting sports at local, state, regional, national, and international levels.

Promote hunter safety and proper wildlife management.
