Frequently Asked Questions

What is the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF)?

The NSSF is the firearm industry's largest trade organization, founded over 60 years ago to promote hunting and recreational shooting. It has become a significant lobbying force in Washington D.C., spending substantial amounts to influence federal government policy on firearms.

How has the NSSF's lobbying efforts changed compared to the NRA?

The NSSF has significantly increased its federal lobbying expenditures, spending more than twice as much as the NRA in the past year. This surge in spending suggests the NSSF is stepping up to fill a perceived power vacuum in gun rights advocacy.

Why do gun control advocates find the NSSF a difficult target?

Gun control advocates, like Chris Brown of Brady, note that the NSSF is lesser known and harder to caricature than the NRA. This lack of a prominent, easily demonized figurehead makes it tactically challenging for them to mobilize opposition against the NSSF.

What is the NSSF's stance on key gun control measures?

The NSSF actively opposes measures such as universal background checks and attempts to regulate 'ghost guns.' They argue these efforts are unnecessary and infringe upon Second Amendment rights, advocating for the firearm industry's interests in Washington.
