Standing Up for Your Rights and Your Business

Our Industry Protects America—And We Intend to Keep it That Way

Too many would like to see our industry fade into the past. And too many believe that chiseling away at our ability to lawfully conduct business will accomplish that. NSSF does not let such actions go unchallenged. We are armed with the facts, not wishes. We are armed with history, not myths. And we are armed with the 2^nd Amendment, not ideology. With our members standing beside us in rural townhalls, big-city courtrooms and the floor of the U.S. Congress, we are a force to be reckoned with.

Together Our Voice is Strong

NSSF advocates for measures on behalf of and works in defense of the firearms and ammunition industry at all levels and before all branches of government. We determine threats or benefits to the industry, develop strategies to address those activities and act through lobbying, grassroots advocacy and public affairs efforts.
