The National Firearms Association ("NFA") is a non-profit association based across Canada. Its main goals are to repeal and replacement of the Firearms Act (Bill C-68), which was introduced into Canadian Parliament in 1995 (Now called "Chapter 39 of the 1995 Statues of Canada"), the promotion of marksmanship and firearm safety and the protection of the right to hunt and self-defence. Annual membership costs are typically $35.00 however, discounts are available for families and seniors. All NFA members are eligible for $5 million in liability insurance that covers all legal hunting, shooting and fishing activities, the cost for this optional insurance is $9.95/yr. ==History== FARO (Firearms and Responsible Owners) was founded in 1969 in Ottawa, Ontario, in response to the Trudeau Government's Bill C-51 firearms law. The founder and President was Bill Jones, and it became the national voice for lawful firearms owners, essentially an association of like minded Canadian groups and individuals. This was the vehicle used to bring this issue to the political level and inform lawful firearms owners of what faced them and it was based on two fundamentals: "We recognize the need of law as a prerequisite for an 'orderly' society, but we also recognize that bad laws are a prerequisite for an 'ordered' society. Two letters different, but two worlds apart." Also: "It is not a proper function of the law to place a peaceful person pursuing peaceful activities in jeopardy." FARO did accomplish making this a national and political issue. FARO was the first firearms advocacy organization to appear before the Justice Committee in the House of Commons. In 1979-1980 Bill Jones registered the NFA as national organization but ran out of personal funds used to pursue this issue and had to leave the organization, staying on long enough to allow time for an orderly tranisition . Reconstituted in Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta, in 1984 by David A Tomlinson and Major R.A. (Ray) Laycock and others as "National Phoenix Firearms Information and Communications Association" (National Firearms Association - NFA). Re constituted in 2010 after the passing of National President D.A. Tomlinson (2007) as "Canada's National Firearms Association" (NFA). It currently has membership that is based across Canada.
