For your convenience, we have included the following list
of web sites related to
the shooting sports and the 2nd Amendment to the United States Constitution.
-
GREGORY
DOHERTY FOR STATE REP. - This is the 2004 campaign web site of Gregory
Doherty, the founder of LIBERTY SPORTSTM.
-
National Rifle Association
(NRA) - The NRA became incorporated in 1871 to promote and organize the
shooting sports. The NRA has been growing ever since and has expended
to become involved with politics. The NRA, backed by millions of
private citizens, is recognized as one of the most powerful lobbying groups
in the nation.
-
Gun Owners of
America (GOA) - GOA is a rapidly growing civil-rights
organization focused on restoring an individual's right to keep and bear
arms. While some other national organizations lobby in Washington to
pass "less damaging" anti-gun legislation, GOA fights to repeal
laws that currently trample on our freedoms. As United States
Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) stated, GOA is "The only no-compromise
gun lobby in Washington."
-
Jews for the Preservation
of Firearm Ownership (JPFO) - JPFO is an organization geared toward
Jewish people and often relates startling facts from Nazi Germany to
present-day situations and laws. JPFO is a no-compromise 2nd Amendment
supporting organization that base their beliefs on historical facts and
events.
-
2nd Amendment Foundation
(SAF) - The Second Amendment Foundation is dedicated to promoting a better
understanding about our Constitutional heritage to privately own and possess
firearms. To that end, they carry on many educational and legal action
programs designed to better inform the public about the gun control debate.
-
Civilian Marksmanship
Program (CMP) - The CMP was created by the
U.S. Congress. The original purpose was to provide civilians an opportunity
to learn and practice marksmanship skills so they would be skilled marksmen
if later called on to serve the U.S. military. Over the years the emphasis
of the program shifted to focus on youth development through marksmanship.
From 1916 until 1996 the CMP was administered by the U.S. Army. The National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996 (TITLE XVI) created the
Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle Practice & Firearms Safety, Inc.
(CPRPFS) to take over administration and promotion of the CMP. The CPRPFS is
a tax exempt not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization that derives its mission
from public law.
-
Packing.org -
This is a great place to find out how to legally carry a concealed firearm,
if it is possible in your state. If you have a License to Carry a Firearm in
MA and you want to take a trip to another state, you used to have to get a
"non-resident" license from your destination state. Now,
with the increasing number of state that issue Licenses to carry, many
states are recognizing licenses from other state. They
also try to discuss issues related to carrying in the news and talk
sections.

(GOAL) - This is the NRA's Massachusetts affiliate. GOAL
promotes the shooting sports in MA: lobbies in the state house in an attempt to restore the right of
Massachusetts' citizens to keep and bear arms.

2nd Amendment Sisters
(SAS) - The 2nd Amendment Sisters is an organization founded by five
women. SAS successfully attempts to get more women involved with
defending a person's right to keep and bear arms and promotes women's
involvement in the shooting sports.
Massgunlaw.com
- Massachusetts was once know as the "Cradle of Liberty." It
now hangs its head in disgrace because it does not recognize an individual's
right to keep am bear arms. The complexity of, and the confusion
surrounding Massachusetts' gun laws boggles the mind of citizens, law
enforcement, legislators, and judges. Massgunlaw.com is a web site
created by gun-rights lawyer Darius Arbabi to assist citizens in
understanding MA gun laws and keeping them informed of case law.
