Say what you will about the NRA and their positions over the 142 years they’ve been around, but they do have some weight to throw around in Washington, D.C. and the rest of the nation. Acting through the Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) and the Civil Rights Defense Fund, the NRA is able to play an active role in court cases across the country defending and upholding the Second Amendment. These two organizations are helping hunters, plinkers, sport shooters, ranges, and ever facet of the firearm industry retain their passions and livelihoods, and that is something every one of us can get behind.
