The primary mission of the NRA is to maintain the natural rights recognized and protected (not granted) by the Second Amendment to the Bill of Rights. It is the oldest civil rights organization extant. Besides that, it is an excellent source of firearms information, safety, and training. I'm not interested in a debate about this, but you asked. The National Rifle Association, or NRA, is a non-profit group dedicated to the protection of the Second Amendment of the United States Bill of Rights and the promotion of firearm ownership rights, marksmanship, firearm safety, and the protection of hunting and self-defense in the United States. It was established in New York in 1871 as the American Rifle Association. The NRA sponsors firearm safety training courses, as well as marksmanship events featuring shooting skills and sports. The NRA is sometimes said to be the single most powerful non-profit organization in the United States.[2] It bases its political activity on the principle that gun ownership is a civil liberty protected by the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights, and claims to be the oldest continuously operating civil liberties organization in the United States. According to its website, the NRA has "more than four million members."[1] en.wikipedia.org snipurl.com
