The National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR) is a gun rights advocacy group in the United States. They maintain an affiliated PAC and a non-profit legal foundation. NAGR was founded in 2000 by Dudley Brown as a national companion organization to Rocky Mountain Gun Owners. NAGR is a rival of the National Rifle Association and considers itself the "conservative alternative" to the NRA. The group spends most of its energy attacking lawmakers deemed too soft on Second Amendment issues via direct mail, robocalls and low-cost television ads. ==Activities== NAGR is opposed to the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty. The organization is also opposed to legislative actions on "high capacity magazines." In March 2015, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) initiated a rule change that would ban M855 ball ammunition for civilian use. NAGR reported delivering 132,662 petitions to the ATF that urged the agency to stop the ammunition ban. NAGR utilized their relationship with the Iowa Gun Owners group during the 2011 Iowa Straw Poll in Ames, Iowa. When a vacancy arose in the Colorado State Legislature in 2012, NAGR supported Tim Neville over State Representative Jim Kerr, whom they felt was not sufficiently supportive of Second Amendment rights. NAGR supports the passage of no-permit Constitutional Carry.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nhfc-ontarget.org/2012/01/action-alerts/hearings-on-constitutional-carry-and-preemption-this-thursday/ )〕 In 2012, NAGR sued the state of Montana over state laws that may require the organization to register as a political committee prior to mailing postcards critical of Montana Attorney General Steve Bullock’s record on gun rights. According to the IRS, “a section 501(c)(4)… may engage in some political activities, so long as that is not its primary activity.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.irs.gov/Charities-&-Non-Profits/Other-Non-Profits/Requirements-for-Exemption )〕 NAGR’s request for a preliminary injunction was denied in October.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/montana/judge-denies-request-to-bypass-disclosure-law/article_1df1e676-2445-544c-8bf8-3fbfd548749b.html )〕 Bullock was elected Governor the following month. In March 2015, the National Association for Gun Rights was involved in opposing gun control measures in Vermont. The NAGR campaigned to stop the Vermont state legislature from passing SB 141.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://truenorthreports.com/a-gun-battle-in-vermont )〕 In April 2015, NAGR supported Kansas bill SB 45, which allows for Constitutional carry.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Outdoorhub )〕 NAGR representatives were present at the bill signing on April 2.
