Answer:

The National Rifle Association of America is a gun rights advocacy group based in the United States. Founded in 1871 to advance rifle marksmanship, the modern NRA has become a prominent gun rights lobbying organization while continuing to teach firearm safety and competency.

Reagan's break with NRA orthodoxy began after he left the White House and included support for the 1994 assault weapons ban.
