 National Rifle Association - SourceWatch
The National Rifle Association (NRA) was founded in 1871, to "promote and encourage rifle shooting on a scientific basis," according to its website.
NRA public affairs director Andrew Arulanandam told PR Week that his group "was tasked with monitoring media outlets that were spreading 'misinformation'" about a bill before the U.S. Senate in the summer of 2005, that would "grant some immunity to gun makers and sellers" from lawsuits.
In December 2003, Associated Press reported that the NRA was investigating buying a radio or television channel to allow it to bypass electioneering restrictions on advocacy groups.

In a speech to the Primrose League, he stated his goal was no less than that "a rifle should be kept in every cottage in the land." In response the NRA formulated its guidelines for the affiliation of civilian clubs.
