Survey: Americans View NRA As Most Patriotic Organization

Recent studies have compiled data that points to a strong connection between the NRA and American patriotism.

To gun owners from sea to shining sea, this may have already been understood intuitively. The Second Amendment was included by the Funding Fathers to ensure liberty and defend against the gross intrusion into American freedom by enemies both foreign and domestic. The National Rifle Association has dedicated itself to the protection of Constitutional rights and has fought tirelessly against anti-American forces since its inception in 1871.

The pair of surveys point out that the NRA remains profoundly important in American life and that patriotism, guns and the institution are powerfully linked.

The two studies were conducted by the American Culture and Faith Institute in October and November. The online-based sample of 1,000 people over the age of 18 was designed to represent a cross-section of the nation’s diverse adult population. The research findings have been published in a detailed report called “American Views on Patriotism.”

Although not surprising to firearm enthusiasts, the National Rifle Association ranked highest among organizations in terms of patriotism. Of the people polled, 33 percent expressed their opinion that the NRA was “very patriotic.” But, what may stun anti-gun advocates is that respondents concluded that the gun-rights organization outpaced the Democratic and Republican parties, all news outlets, the U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives and even the United States Supreme Court.

Simply put, no public, private or governmental organization holds a candle to the NRA in terms of patriotism according to the Americans surveyed.

Among the details in the report, 51 percent of people “strongly agreed” that “basic freedoms are under attack in America.” Upwards of 32 percent also responded that the statement was “somewhat” true. And, Americans appear to be taking the anti-American rights trend personally.

The study concluded that 57 percent of Americans polled find the Right to Bear Arms to be “very” meaningful for them on a personal level with another 21 percent calling it “somewhat” meaningful. A mere 9 percent did not believe the Second Amendment right was personally important.

Contrary to the “identity politics” that attempts to divide the issue by race, White Americans tallied 59 percent and African-Americans closely agreed at 55 percent that the Right to Bear Arms is “very” meaningful. What may be seen as a further blow to the anti-gun lobby is that Millennials between 18 and 29 placed a high value on gun rights.

Upwards of 60 percent of Millennials believe the Right to Bear Arms is “very” important on a personal level. What may be astonishing is that this demographic put such high value on gun rights despite scoring the lowest in terms of traditions such as the pledge of allegiance and National Anthem. Apparently the Second Amendment trumps all, so to speak.

Overwhelmingly, those that responded to the survey concluded that “individual rights come with responsibilities” to the tune of 90 percent. This is indicative of America’s thinking about guns, rights, and personal responsibility. That sentiment has been underscored by the National Rifle Association for more than 100 years and that is wear Americans hang their patriotic hats.
