Seal of the National Rifle Association

The National Rifle Association of America (NRA) is an American nonprofit organization that advocates for gun rights.^[5]^[6]^[7] Founded in 1871, the group has informed its members about firearm-related legislation since 1934, and it has directly lobbied for and against legislation since 1975.^[8]

Founded to advance rifle marksmanship, the modern NRA continues to teach firearm safety and competency. The organization also publishes several magazines and sponsors competitive marksmanship events.^[8] According to the NRA, membership surpassed 5 million in May 2013.^[5]

Observers and lawmakers see the NRA as one of the top three most influential lobbying groups in Washington, D.C.^[9]^[10] The NRA Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) is its lobbying arm, which manages its political action committee (PAC), the Political Victory Fund (PVF). Over its history the organization has influenced legislation, participated in or initiated lawsuits, and endorsed or opposed various candidates at local, state and federal levels.

The NRA has been criticized by gun control and gun rights advocacy groups, political commentators, and politicians.^[11]^[12] The organization has been the focus of intense criticism in the aftermath of high-profile shootings, such as the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting and the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting.

التاريخ

William Conant Church, one of the NRA's founders

كريس كوكس، كبير ضاغطي الـ NRA والاستراتيجي السياسي، في مارس 2016

A 1999 Fortune magazine survey said that lawmakers and their staffers considered the NRA the most powerful lobbying organization three years in a row.^[9] Chris W. Cox is the NRA's chief lobbyist and principal political strategist, a position he has held since 2002. In 2012, 88% of Republicans and 11% of Democrats in Congress had received an NRA PAC contribution at some point in their career. Of the members of the Congress that convened in 2013, 51% received funding from the NRA PAC within their political careers, and 47% received NRA money in their most recent race. According to Lee Drutman, political scientist and senior fellow at the Sunlight Foundation, "It is important to note that these contributions are probably a better measure of allegiance than of influence."^[13]

Internationally, the NRA opposes the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT).^[14] It has opposed Canadian gun registry,^[15] supported Brazilian gun rights,^[16]^[17] and criticized Australian gun laws.^[18]

In 2016 the NRA raised a record $366 million and spent $412 million for political activities. The NRA also maintains a PAC which is excluded from these figures.^[19] The organization donated to congressional races for both Republicans (223) and Democrats (9) to candidates for Congress.^[20]
