NRA Sees Surge in New Gun Owners, Boosts Training Efforts

The National Rifle Association (NRA) has witnessed a surge in new firearms owners in the United States, with an estimated 20 million joining the ranks. This increase highlights the significance of the NRA's training initiatives, which have been a backbone of the organization since its inception.

The NRA's dedication to firearms training dates back to its early years. Before its involvement, there was no structured training in the country. The NRA stepped in to fill this void, starting with a pre-induction training program before World War II. This program concentrated on rifle marksmanship and safe firearm handling, educating young Americans.

In 1949, the NRA introduced the first hunter-safety training curriculum in New York State. This marked a significant step in promoting responsible and safe hunting practices. Today, NRA coaches, instructors, and training counselors continue to play a vital role in educating Americans on safe and effective firearm use.

To bolster its training efforts, the NRA encourages trainers to become recruiters. This helps grow the organization's strength and ensures proper education on Second Amendment rights. In line with this, the NRA is launching the 'Bullet-In Board' newsletter. This new communication platform will provide trainers with updates and information on new programs.

With an estimated 20 million new firearms owners, the NRA's training initiatives are more crucial than ever. The organization's long history of developing and improving training programs ensures that Americans receive the best available education on safe and effective firearm use. The launch of the 'Bullet-In Board' newsletter further underscores the NRA's commitment to supporting and updating its trainers.
