The NRA does more for the RKBA than any individual, or any other group. All gun owners benefit from the work done by the NRA, whether, or not, you are a member. For example - we all remember that in 1987 only 10 states recognized the right to carry. Today, due to the NRA, 49 states do. In 1994, there were only 8 states with range protection laws, today 47 states protect ranges.
Let's not forget what they've done for Preemption Laws, Castle Doctrine, Emergency Powers Laws, protecting gun owners and dealers privacy rights with the Tiahrt Amendment and Privacy Protection laws, Hunter Protection laws, "The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act”, the Heller and McDonald decisions, Workplace Protection laws, as well as fighting against the old and new AW bans, National Park and public housing firearms bans, Gun Control by UN treaty, Gun Show bans, gun ownership bans on 18-20 year olds, mandated ballistic fingerprinting and “smart“ guns, health insurance companies from charging gun owners higher premiums, and reforming the abuses of the BATFE. The NRA was the first to initiate and publicize the investigations of Fast and Furious and Operation Gunrunner. If you don’t know these issues, or know the numerous lawsuits and legislation NRA is actively involved with daily, throughout the country, then you are not informed or acknowledging all the NRA does.
I would suggest you actually get and stay informed with “The First Freedom” NRA’s monthly magazine for the most consistent in depth info, reporting and analysis on NRAs positions and involvement on gun issues, laws, legislation, gun control, lawsuits and politics.
