The National Rifle Association has notched a big milestone: its 150th anniversary.
"For 150 years, millions of Americans from all walks of life, races, colors, and creeds have been proud members of the National Rifle Association of America. From Presidents of the United States, military heroes, those with household names to rank and file Americans like us, all have entrusted the NRA to be the guardians of their Second Amendment, their self-defense and hunting rights, and indeed their freedom as Americans," NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre exclusively told Fox News.

The NRA was officially founded on Nov. 17, 1871, by Union veterans Col. William C. Church and Gen. George Wingate. The pair launched the group after they became disheartened by the lack of marksmanship among their troops during the war. Church explained in an op-ed at the time that the NRA’s primary goal was to "promote and encourage rifle shooting on a scientific basis."
Its history also includes arming Americans so they could fight back against the Ku Klux Klan, and the organization touts that some of its first members were Black Americans looking to defend themselves against Klan members. Nine of its 10 first presidents were also Union veterans who fought to defeat slavery.

It is stupid to have only one guardian of anything.
what are the best groups other than the NRA ?
I personally financially support both groups.
Lifetime member...
However, I’ve been under the impression that it went out of business several years ago...
Sort of like cicadas...
Or: Hear no evil... See no evil... Speak no evil...
Or: Stay absolutely still & silent and no predators will attack you...
I joined once. They spent twice my dues sending me snail-mail letters asking for more money. I guess that’s how the game is played, but it backfired on them as far as I was concerned.
The Second Amendment gave us America and it allows us to keep it. As for the NRA, I’m not sure I want my name on their subscription list where the gov’t, when it goes all commie, has lists of potential gun owners.
Second Amendment Foundation
Jews for the Preservation of Firearm Ownership
Gun Owners of America
State groups like Wisconsin Gun Owners
The NRA appears to be a bunch of grifters living high on the hog from membership fees and gun manufactures gifts.
My dad and bro’s and uncle have so many backpacks and stuff from them, so, yeah.
These clowns supported Dingy Harry didn’t they? that’s why they no longer get my money.
Here's one link: GOA

I'm guessing that several million NRA members might take offense at you calling them all "grifters"...
;>)
I am a life member but I have to admit I’m kind of ashamed of their leadership. I used to really like Wayne LaPierre but it appears he is just milking the cash cow. They have been covering this up for way too long. I’m sad that this great organization has been drug through the mud by poor leadership.
Wayne LaPierre needs to retire.
That is something that is long overdue...
Agreed. The last I heard the NRA was reorganizing under bankruptcy in an attempt to get out of Virginia/New York and get the hell to Texas.
LaPierre has overstayed his welcome though.
Just a suggestion, but you might want to read a little bit about a guy named John Hancock.
The members are the marks, the patsy, the grifters are the ones ripping off
Well he did have the largest signature on the DoI, figured Geo III couldn’t miss it.
