NYSRPA largest state affiliate of NRA

ALBANY, NY (02/03/2014)(readMedia)-- The New York State Rifle & Pistol Association is pleased to announce that it is now the largest State Affiliate of the National Rifle Association. Membership growth over the past year has pushed NYSRPA into the top spot over the Texas State Rifle Association and California Rifle & Pistol Association.

State Affiliates serve a critical role as the state-level delivery system for NRA programs. The NRA depends on State Affiliates to promote these programs within their states and motivate NRA-affiliated clubs and grassroots volunteers to activate these programs in their local communities.

After confirming membership status with the NRA, NYSRPA President Tom King had this to say: "This just goes to show how much mainstream support 2nd Amendment civil rights have in New York State."

NYSRPA membership is made up of individuals, families, businesses and organziational affiliates all across the state.
