For over 30 years, SCI’s mission has been to protect and expand the freedom to hunt, instituting sustainable use conservation worldwide while protecting hunting heritage. 

To that end, SCI is involved at all levels of government – from state and local to national and international.

The staff and lobbyists, based in Washington, D.C., carry the voice of the hunter into the halls of Congress, the state legislatures, courts and international forums such as The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, or CITES.

SCI chapters in the U.S., with the assistance of the Government Affairs Department, get involved with state legislative and regulatory issues, with federal plans that affect management, conservation and hunting access on public lands, as well as national legislative issues.

SCI is fighting in courts throughout the country to support and defend hunting as a recreational opportunity, a wildlife management strategy and a conservation tool.

Because its advocacy is firmly rooted in sound science of wildlife conservation, SCI holds a credible position in the hunting and conservation community. The Conservation Department is staffed by the SCI Foundation, and works closely with chapters, staff and members to meet this challenge.

 
 


 

The NRA is you -- its members ... millions of Americans representing a diverse contrast of age, sex, race and religion. You're patriots one and all. You believe in the Constitution, staunch in the defense of your rights, and you actively pursue some of this country's finest traditions - Hunting and Sports Shooting. Since its incorporation in 1871, the NRA has grown as a service organization involved in all aspects of the shooting sports and a proud defender of the Bill of Rights.

Current issues in New York State that affect YOUR RIGHTS on gun and hunting issues.

The New York State Rifle & Pistol Association is the state's largest and oldest firearms advocacy organization. Since 1871, our organization has been dedicated to the preservation of Second Amendment rights, firearm safety, education and training, and the shooting sports. Our membership consists of individuals and clubs throughout the state.  We are a not-for-profit 501(c)4 organization and the official NRA-affiliated State Association in New York

Sportsmen's Caucus

Hunters and anglers have identified allies in the U.S. Congress and state legislatures across the country serving as the first line of defense in protecting America’s outdoor traditions as well as promoting the sportsmen’s agenda through the collective muscle of sportsmen’s caucuses.

Sportsmen’s caucuses have always been effective in working together; not as Republican or Democrat, but as sportsmen and women. As a result, they have achieved many victories for hunting and fishing, as well as conservation and fish and wildlife habitat.

Our purpose is to provide trusted leadership in addressing industry challenges and to deliver programs and services to meet the identified needs of our members. We will concentrate our efforts on measurably advancing participation in and understanding of hunting and the shooting sports; reaffirming and strengthening our members' commitment to the safe and responsible use of their products, and promoting a political climate supportive of America's traditional firearms rights.
