NRA's Century-Long Commitment to Firearm Safety and Education
The National Rifle Association (NRA) has been instrumental in shaping firearm safety and education in the United States. With a focus on safe and effective firearm use, the organization has played a critical role in training Americans for over a century.
The NRA's commitment to firearms training began before World War II with its pre-induction training program, teaching rifle marksmanship and safe firearm handling. This dedication continued with the development of the first hunter-safety training curriculum in 1949, introduced in New York State.
Before the NRA's involvement, there was no organized firearms training, manual, or syllabus in the U.S. The organization's core mission has been to develop and provide high-quality firearms training, a role that remains crucial today with an estimated 20 million new firearms owners.
Notable figures like Jeff Cooper and Massad Ayoob have contributed to the development of organized firearms training in the U.S. The NRA encourages its trainers to become recruiters, growing the organization's strength and protecting the Second Amendment. To support its trainers, the NRA will launch the 'Bullet-In Board' newsletter, focusing on class aids and program updates.
With a long-standing commitment to firearms training, the NRA continues to invest in educating Americans on safe and effective firearm use. As the organization looks to the future, it remains dedicated to providing the highest quality training programs, ensuring the responsible ownership and handling of firearms.
