Answer : NRA
The National Rifle Association of America (NRA) is a gun rights advocacy group based in the United States. Founded to advance rifle marksmanship, the modern NRA continues to teach firearm safety and competency. The organization also publishes several magazines and sponsors competitive marksmanship events. According to the NRA, it had nearly 5 million members as of December 2018, though that figure has not been independently confirmed.
When the National Rifle Association was officially incorporated on November 16, 1871, its primary goal was to “promote and encourage rifle shooting on a scientific basis”. The NRA’s website says the organization is “America’s longest-standing civil rights organization”.
The NRA has been described as influential in shaping American gun control policy. The organization influences legislators’ voting behavior through its financial resources and ability to mobilize it large membership. The organization has not lost a major battle over gun control legislation since the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban. At the federal level, the NRA successfully lobbied Congress in the mid-1990s to effectively halt governments-sponsored research into the public health effects of firearms, and to ensure the passage of legislation in 2005 largely immunizing gun manufacturers and dealers from lawsuits.
