The National Rifle Association (NRA) was founded in 1871 by Union veterans Col. William C. Church and Gen. George Wingate in response to concerns about the poor marksmanship of soldiers during the Civil War. They aimed to promote rifle shooting as a sport and improve the skill level of American marksmen. The organization emphasized the importance of firearms training and education, reflecting a broader societal interest in gun ownership and rights. Over time, the NRA evolved into a significant advocate for Second Amendment rights and gun ownership in the United States.
