Who is the National Shooting Sports Foundation?

The National Shooting Sports

Foundation (NSSF) is the

trade association for the firearms

industry. Its mission is to promote,

protect and preserve hunting and

the shooting sports. Formed in

1961, NSSF has a membership of

more than 10,000 manufacturers,

distributors, firearms retailers,

shooting ranges, sportsmen’s

organizations and publishers.

For more than 200 years,

America’s firearms and ammunition

industry has made products that

have been part of our country’s

tradition of freedom, self-reliance

and enjoyment of the outdoors.

NSSF has led the way in promoting

responsible ownership of firearms.

NSSF concentrates its 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.

NSSF’s expanding government

relations program responds to the

ever-changing political environment

that threatens the future of hunting,

recreational shooting, our firearms

freedoms, and our industry’s well-

being. NSSF works on both state

and federal level issues, along with

working with many regulatory

agencies, to protect the firearms

industry and make sure their

business interests are appropriately

represented.

This report details the

significant economic impact

the firearms and ammunition

industry has on the nation’s

and each state’s economy. The

economic growth America’s

firearms and ammunition industry

has experienced over the years has

been nothing short of remarkable.

Over the past couple of years, the

industry’s growth has been driven

by an unprecedented number of

Americans choosing to exercise

their fundamental right to keep

and bear arms and purchase a

firearm and ammunition.

NSSF, representing

manufacturers and sportsmen

around the nation, takes great

pride in supporting wildlife

conservation efforts. Noted in the

economic impact report is the

significant taxes paid by member

companies to federal and state

governments and the Pittman-

Robertson excise tax the industry

pays on the products it sells – this

tax is the major source of wildlife

conservation funding in America.

During difficult economic

times and high unemployment

rates nationally, our industry has

grown and created over 25,600

new, well-paying jobs over the past

2 years. Our industry is proud to

be one of the bright spots in this

economy.

Take a look for yourself and see

the impact we have nationally and on

your home state. (See center spread.)

The Firearms & Ammunition Industry is an Important Part of America’s EconomyCompanies in the United States that manufacture, distribute and sell firearms, ammunition and hunting equipment employ as many as 111,895 people in the country and generate an additional 133,850 jobs in supplier and ancillary industries. These include jobs in companies supplying goods and services to manufacturers, distributors and retailers, as well as those that depend on sales to workers in the firearms and ammunition industry. [1]

These are good jobs, paying an average of $47,709 in wages and benefits. And today, every job is important. In fact, in the United States the unemployment rate has reached 7.5 percent. This means that there are already 11,660,000 people trying to find jobs in the nation and collecting unemployment benefits.[2]

The Economic Benefit of the Industry Spreads Throughout the CountryNot only does the manufacture and sale of firearms and hunting supplies create good jobs in the United States but the industry also contributes to the economy as a whole. In fact, in 2013 the firearms and ammunition industry was responsible for as much as $37.70 billion in total economic activity in the country.

The Country Also Benefits from the Taxes Paid by the IndustryThe firearms and ammunition industry generates sizable tax revenues. In the United States the industry and its employees pay over $5.2 billion in taxes including property, income, and sales-based levies. [3]
