Description:

The paper outlines the NRA's goals of liberty, equality and democracy based on the Second Amendment that allows citizens to have a militia and guns without the interference of the government. The paper explains why the NRA is a conservative organization and looks at the interest groups, such as animal rights groups, that oppose the NRA.

From the Paper:

"The NRA then is a conservative organization. This is true because the NRA is only for law-abiding citizens having guns while a liberal stance would be for no one having a gun. That is the main difference. Conservatives then believe that guns are used for self-defense. The main base of the NRA is shooting according to a scientific basis, and therefore gun control is not ideal for a NRA member. They believe that gun control laws are not applicable in today's society although there are staggering statistics that prove that gun control does work because per capita countries with gun control laws have less gun related incidents and death. In all the NRA is a very conservative organization."
