The organization also publishes several magazines and sponsors competitive marksmanship events, also inform its members about firearm-related legislation since 1934, and it has directly lobbied for and against firearms legislation since 1975.

When it comes to hunting and skills training, America’s 13.7 million hunters have known for years to go the NRA for training. Working in cooperation with the state of New York in 1949, NRA developed hunter safety training as it’s known today.
