Our customers have loyally supported our products, while the NRA has loyally defended the Second Amendment. We are proud to play our part by doing all we can to support the NRA-ILA and its efforts to preserve the rights of Americans to keep and bear arms."

"This gift will help us educate millions of Americans about the importance of protecting their constitutional rights now and in the future."
