Massachusetts Rifle Association : ウィキペディア英語版 | Massachusetts Rifle Association The Massachusetts Rifle Association (also known as "Walnut Hill", "Mass Rifle" or the "MRA") is one of the oldest active gun clubs in the United States. It was founded in 1875, just four years after the creation of the National Rifle Association in 1871. The MRA has been continuously active since its founding and in the same location in Woburn, Massachusetts since 1876. ==A general invitation==
On November 4, 1875 a notice was published in the ''Boston Morning Journal'' extending an invitation to all who would be interested in the organization of "a Boston Gun Club." At 4:00 p.m. that very day about 20 people met at the Bromfield House at 55 Bromfield Street in Boston, near what is today one of Boston’s busiest pedestrian intersections, Downtown Crossing. At this meeting Dr. Isaac H. Hazelton presided and Mr. Charles A. Sawyer (one of the authors of an earlier article in October, 1875 urging the formation of a "Rifle Association") acted as clerk. All present were in support of forming a rifle club at once. They quickly formed a committee to look for a range and another committee to put together a set of rules and by-laws for the new club. They then signed a document expressing their desire to form an association and placed it in the window of the Remington & Sons gun store at 146 Tremont Street in Boston soliciting the signatures of others who would like to join them.
