The National Rifle Association has notched a big milestone: its 150th anniversary.

“For 150 years, millions of Americans from all walks of life, races, colors, and creeds have been proud members of the National Rifle Association of America. From Presidents of the United States, military heroes, those with household names to rank and file Americans like us, all have entrusted the NRA to be the guardians of their Second Amendment, their self-defense and hunting rights, and indeed their freedom as Americans,” NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre exclusively told Fox News.

“That is a solemn duty that all of us at the NRA take seriously. That is why the NRA never has and never will shrink from a fight.”
