The National Rifle Association (or NRA) is a human rights advocacy organization of Americans who are interested in shooting sports. It runs training classes in gun use and safety, and publishes magazines of interest to gun owners. It is also dedicated to protecting Americans' Second Amendment rights.
The NRA was founded after the American Civil War by former Union soldiers seeking to improve the shooting skills of the population at large.
The NRA is non-partisan and has endorsed both Republicans and Democrats.
