New Online Auctions to Benefit NRA Foundation

(FAIRFAX, VA)- It's a first in the 135 years of the National Rifle Association.

The NRA Foundation recently went to the Web to collaborate with Auction Arms, a pioneer in the online auction of firearms, to offer firearm enthusiasts an opportunity to bid on several special edition guns-with the proceeds benefiting the foundation. This new option may signal a new wave of high tech fundraising for the foundation, and for the support of shooting sports programs nationwide. Auction Arms has generously waived its normal fees to conduct NRA AUCTIONS.

Bidding is now taking place on <http://www.auctionarms.com/> for a Beretta 12-and 20-gauge shotgun set along with an NRA commemorative Browning Buck Mark .22. This gun is the first of only 1,001 manufactured Buck Mark HI Grade firearms and bears the very special serial number: NRA-00001. Included in this prized possession will be a lockable Browning pistol rug case, a magazine, a cable lock and a letter of authenticity signed by Browning President and CEO Charles Guevremont, along with NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre.

The Beretta set is a matched pair of Model 3901 12- and 20-gauge.shotguns with serial numbers NRA-001A and NRA-001B. This set includes a handsome leather case, embossed with the Partners for the Future logo and a certificate of authenticity. The guns are the first in the Exclusive Edition grade being offered to the general public. The proceeds from this auction will go to the NRA's Partners for the Future program.

Both auctions are scheduled to close as the NRA's Annual Meetings commence on May 19 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin <(www.nraam.org).> The winners of the auction will be announced during the convention, and additional auction packages will be posted by Auction Arms later this summer.

Potential bidders can learn more about the shotgun set and the .22 by going to <http://www.auctionarms.com/> and then clicking on the NRA AUCTIONS banner.

Established in 1990, The NRA Foundation is a 501 ( c ) (3) tax-exempt organization that raises tax-deductible contributions in support of a wide range of firearms-related public interest activities of the National Rifle Association and other organizations that defend and foster the Second Amendment rights of all law-abiding Americans.

(no avatar) I have seen a transformation of the NRA in the last few years. Where are the NRA programs for the youth. What are they doing in California and other areas where there is an affront to our 2nd ammendment rights. It seems like they are more interested in fund raising than anything else. I could be wrong but show me what the NRA has done for us lately. Tks

AuctionArmsCeo How about being THE deciding factor in the removal of Al Gore as a very real threat to our Constitution and way of life? As far as I'm concerned, that's good for at least the next 20 years.

(no avatar) The National Rifle Association of America does things by its very existance that we never even hear about. Then it is at the forefront of trying to keep track of all anti-gun and many other Unconstitutional movements, that it very well may be the National Rifle Association of America that has preserved much of the United States Constitution. The media, as you should all know is never going to give the National Rifle Association of America credit for anything. So you will never hear of many of the things that National Rifle Association of America is doing. It is sorta like having somebody build something for you. To build anything properly takes a lot of planning. Planning that almost nobody ever sees and nobody ever knows about. It is only the building of the item we ever see and without knowing and understanding the planning, it is very easy to find fault with the finished product. But wouldn't it be more to the point to learn just what you are talking about before you find fault? The main crime control plan of the liberals and the Democratic Party is gun control. The National Rifle Association of America has forced the Democratic Party to conceal its gun control agenda to get candidates elected. Forcing a political party to be dishonest about its agenda makes many voters question that parties whole agenda. That in many cases the National Rifle Association of America has skillfully accomplished. So the National Rifle Association of America has not accomplished all that we would desire. So just what have you done???????????

(no avatar) If I understand correctly; NRA compromised on the "gun-free schools" thereby eliminating all high school competitive rifle teams. I was also informed all schools had to turn back to the government, all the rifles and that is why so many .22 rifles marked "U.S." are popping up on the auctions after being purchased from surplus government sales. PLEASE TELL ME IT ISN'T SO!! NRA LIFE (36 YRS)

(no avatar) I kind of got fed up with the NRA when I saw Wayne LaPierre debating Chucky Schumer,one sunday morning, Old Chucky was ranting and raving about how they needed to pass a law so that 18 year olds could not purchase handguns,I think everybody Knows 18 yearolds can't purchase a handgun,that is everyone but wayne LaPierre, He never did correct Schumer , this left the viewing audiance , IMHO, with the impression that 18 year olds could purchase a handgun.
