The National Rifle Association : In countless ways every day, the NRA is making the great American traditions of gun ownership and marksmanship enjoyable, everyday activities for the nation's entire family.

The NRA Institute for Legislative Action (ILA) is the “lobbying” arm of the National Rifle Association of America. ILA is committed to preserving the right of all law-abiding individuals to purchase, possess and use firearms for legitimate purposes as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Established in 1990, The NRA Foundation, Inc. ("NRA Foundation") is a501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization that raises tax-deductible contributions in support of a wide range of firearm-related public interest activities of the National Rifle Association of America and other organizations that defend and foster the Second Amendment rights of all law-abiding Americans.

The idea of forming a Hunting & Shooting Sports Heritage Foundation (HSSHF) to raise funds for a broad-based industry communications program first came about in May 1998 at the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF)-sponsored Shooting Sports Summit held in Branson, Missouri. The NSSF turned that idea into reality at a series of meetings in the fall of 1998 and early 1999, culminating in the chartering of the Hunting & Shooting Sports Heritage Foundation to “…create a sustainable environment for the shooting sports in America.” The concept was expanded to legal defense later in 1998 in response to politically motivated lawsuits against the industry.

The US Sportsmen's Alliance (Fomerly the Wildlife Legislative Fund of America "WLFA") provides direct lobbying and grassroots coalition support to protect and advance the rights of hunters, fishermen, trappers and scientific wildlife management professionals. This is accomplished through coalition building, ballot issue campaigning and legislative and government relations. The U.S. Sportsmens Alliance Foundation protects and defends America's wildlife conservation programs and the pursuits -- hunting, fishing and trapping -- which generate the money to pay for them. The U.S. Sportsmens Alliance Foundation is responsible for public education, legal defense and research. Contributions to the U.S. Sportsmens Alliance Foundation, a 501(C) 3 organization, are tax deductible. More on The US Sportsmen's Alliance

Project HomeSafe is a nationwide program, developed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), whose purpose is to promote safe firearms handling and storage practices among all firearms owners through the distribution of key safety education messages and free gun locking devices. NSSF, with over 1,900 members, is the shooting sports industry's largest and most diverse trade association. Formed in 1961, NSSF manages a variety of outreach programs with a special emphasis on efforts to promote firearm safety education to all gun owners.

National Hunting and Fishing Day was established by Congress in 1972, to recognize the vital role that hunters and anglers play in wildlife conservation. Through special license fees and excise taxes on their equipment, sportsmen and sportswomen contribute over $3 million each day -- some $2.3 billion to date -- to pay for land acquisition, habitat improvement and other wildlife programs. These contributions have led to the dramatic recovery of many species that have never been hunted, from chipmunks and panthers to songbirds and eagles, as well as game species such as the white-tailed deer, elk and wild turkey. The future of our world, and the preservation of precious natural resources for our great hunting and fishing traditions, rests with America's youth. 4-H members have known this fact for a century. That is why 4-H members learn about the importance of conserving our Home build's natural resources for future generations and, more importantly, they put their knowledge to work.

Today's firearms retailers face an increasing number of challenges–stringent regulatory compliance, mounting legislative initiatives, tighter profit margins and an image tarnished by an anti-gun biased media. But with challenges come opportunities–the opportunity to have direct input in the regulatory and legislative process, the opportunity to increase profitability through more effective management, the opportunity to help enhance the professional firearms retailer's image as a responsible businessman and community citizen and the opportunity to participate in professionally designed and administered programs to increase participation in our outdoor sports by traditional and new user groups.
