The National Rifle Association of America (NRA) is an American 501(c) organization that has historically promoted firearm ownership, marksmanship, safety, hunting, and self-defense in the United States, and has more recently taken up a major role as a lobbying organization, to advocate at the state and national level for its reading of the Second Amendment of the United States Bill of Rights. The NRA is designated as a 501(c)(3) and a 501(c)(4) organization, which allows it to operate both as a charity and to participate in political campaigns and lobbying. Donations made to the 501(c)(4) are neither tax deductible nor subject to IRS disclosure.
