because of your support freedom held the line in springfield this year the illinois state rifle association tracked more than 350 firearm related bills and fought every day to protect the rights of law abiding gun owners the results speak for themselves the so called glock ban failed the extreme rifl act failed the ammunition serialization and tax scheme failed broad new firearm restrictions at

with education training litigation and legislation to protect your 2nd amendment rights as we stand at the threshold of our second century we continue to promote marksmanship and gun safety at the same time our role is widening beyond our founders wildest dreams politicians whose actions over 200 years ago formed us for the protection of the united states now betray us and the ideals that made this country great hunters are attacked by animal rights activists and the law protects the activists public hunting lands purchased by special taxes imposed on hunters are now closed to those same hunters mayors and other politicians whose policies have caused segments of our society to go out of control blame gun owners for their failures radical anti gun organizations partnering with major news media seek to make gun ownership sport shooting hunting collecting and self defense illegal or impossible read more about isra join us education and training isra is dedicated to educating children and adults on the safe and proper use of guns the mission of the isra academy is to promote firearm safety and excellence in marksmanship by providing training and other educational opportunities to all law abiding gun owners in illinois in 1903 the year of inception of isra the education training committee was formed with the sole purpose of providing civilians an opportunity to learn and practice shooting skills so they would become proficient marksmen if later called on to serve in the u s military over the years the activities of the committee were expanded to include education and training of youth and women in all types of shooting sports read more about education programs ninety eight percent of the people in this country are decent hardworking honest americans
