Who is the NRA? We all are, together.

The NRA is America’s preeminent gun rights organization, comprised of millions of patriotic, law-abiding, freedom-loving citizens. Together, we defend the Second Amendment rights of all Americans, and work to protect and preserve our hunting and shooting traditions for future generations. 

Says Doug Hamlin, NRA EVP and CEO, "The NRA simply is not like any other gun-rights organization. We are not just doing a few things and then heavily marketing whatever we’ve tried to accomplish. Rather, the NRA is instrumental in setting the tone, direction and defense of every part of our freedom. The NRA isn’t just synonymous with America’s vast law-abiding gun culture. The NRA is the embodiment of American gun culture.

"We run incredible competitions (competitions.nra.org); we have long been the center of firearm training (nrainstructors.org); we put on massive shows (nraam.org and greatamericanoutdoorshow.org); we have incredible benefits for police officers (le.nra.org); we fight in the courts and legislatures for your freedom all over America (nraila.org); we have museums (nramuseum.org); we have a media arm with so many great magazines, videos and more (explore.nra.org/interests/media-and-publications and all the publications’ websites); we have the best women’s programs for gun owners (nrawomen.com); we have clubs and associations in all 50 states (explore.nra.org/programs/clubs); and so much more."
