The National Rifle Association (NRA) is a non-profit organization that advocates for gun rights and promotes firearms education, with a history dating back to 1871. The NRA has been a major player in American politics, influencing gun control laws and policies. With over 5 million members, the NRA is one of the most prominent gun rights organizations in the United States, often at odds with groups like the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. The NRA has been supported by notable figures like Charlton Heston and Wayne LaPierre, while also facing criticism from organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
