NRA Members' Councils of California

anized its active membership into a program called "NRA Members' Councils". The NRA Members' Council Program operates under the authority of the NRA's Executive Vice-President's Office. The operation, management and program development has been assigned to the NRA Liaison to the Executive Vice President, who functions as the Members’ Council Program Administrator and reports directly to the Executive Vice-President. NRA Executive Vice-President, Wayne La Pierre, has long been an outspoken supporter of the NRA Members' Council Program. The focus of the NRA Members' Council Program is the SINGLE ISSUE of the Second Amendment and is dedicated to getting gun owners and like-minded individuals, and groups, involved in protecting their rights. The Members' Councils are not fundraising organizations, but focus NRA resources to bring the NRA's message of "Safety, Responsibility and Freedom" to the local community. NRA Members' Councils are NOT hunting or gun clubs. They are local groups of NRA members that coordinate NRA members' efforts to promote the NRA’s goals and objectives at the local level and receive their direction from the Members’ Council Program Administrator. This does not mean that the NRA Members’ Councils are “political” in nature, because they are not. Members’ Councils are just like the rest of the NRA. Sometimes we operate in political activities, sometimes in educational, other times we operate in other aspects of the Second Amendment. Since NRA Members' Councils are not separate or autonomous organizations, no dues, fees or charges (other than membership fees for the NRA) are required or charged for participation in the program. NRA Members’ Councils are never separately incorporated entities. An NRA Members' Council is not affiliated with any political party, politician, political issue, or tied to any political organization. Members' Councils may ONLY affiliate with the NRA and other organizations with the specific prior approval of the Program Administrator. Participation in the NRA Members' Council Program is not for everyone. Some people find the rules and guidelines within the program to be either too constraining or not strict enough. All supporters of the Second Amendment have the right to find their own place within the pro-Second Amendment effort and are encouraged to do so. Whether or not an activist chooses to be involved in the NRA Members' Council Program, we strongly suggest that all Second Amendment supporters join and maintain membership in the National Rifle Association. The NRA Members’ Council Program focuses upon supporting NRA by coordinating the efforts of the Members’ Councils with NRA’s efforts both nationally and on the state and local levels. This focus is obtained through teamwork, education, and communication. This page is intended to be a tool to achieved the above-stated objectives.
