What is the National Firearms Association?
-----------------------------------------

The Aims of NFA are:

to promote, support and protect all safe recreational firearms 
activities;

to promote, support, and protect all educational firearms
activities;

to promote natural justice for all firearms activities; and

to serve and inform responsible owners and users of recreational
firearms.

The National Headquarters of the NFA is in Edmonton, Alberta.

One, and only one Branch of the NFA may be established in each
province and each territory of Canada. Each branch has
jurisdiction only it its own Province or Territory.

The NFA provides services to the recreational firearms community,
including $2,000,000 liability insurance coverage at a cost
of $4.50 per member covered per year. It also provides phone-call
services for expert advice on many firearms-related matters, from
range construction to decision transcripts from firearms cases.

The NFA deals with firearms law in all of its ramifications, from
supplying expert witnesses for firearms-related cases in the
courts to lobbying for improved firearms control. Our lobbying
methods include grassroots political activism within all Parties
active in the political process, with extensive direct contact
between our members and politicians seeking Party nomination.

The NFA educational program is designed to increase political
awareness and encourage direct participation in the partisan
political process, but the NFA supports no particular Party.
The NFA inform its members of the decisions and actions of
all Parties, but the choice of which Party to support
or oppose is left entirely to the discretion of the members
themselves. The NFA actively promotes membership in the 
political Party of the NFA supporter's choice, regardless
of which Party is chosen.

If the NFA has a political stance, it is that the citizens
should have and maintain good control over both the
political process and over their elected representatives.
Arrogance and untoward willingness to run roughshod 
over the wishes of the electorate are chronic diseases
which frequently afflict politicians in power, an
example of the ancient dictum that power corrupts.

if they're "Affiliated Members" of the insured club by bylaw,
are covered. Club members authorized to represent the insured
club are covered when engaged in competitions away from the
"home" range.

If the club rents some building space, its space is covered
for $100,000 against damage caused by negligence, and the
club is covered up to $2,000,000 for damage to the rest
of the premises caused by negligence. If the club executive
or a director does a wrongful (but not criminal) act which
results in loss to the club, it is covered to $1,000,000.
