As the legislative, legal and political arm of the NRA, the Institute for Legislative Action (ILA) steadfastly advances America's rich hunting heritage and stands guard against anti-hunting attacks at the federal, state and local levels.
The NRA-ILA has partnered with SCI, Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation, and RMEF and filed motions to dismiss a lawsuit challenging the USFWS decision to expand hunting and fishing opportunities.
In December 2014, Congress approved the Fiscal Year 2015 Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act. Included in the act were a number of pro-gun provisions pushed by NRA-ILA that prevent the Obama administration from implementing its anti-gun agenda.
Hats off to Susan Recce, Director of NRA-ILA’s Conservation, Wildlife and Natural Resources Division, as she is honored for a 40-year career fighting for sportsmen’s access to public lands.
Despite the fact hunters are the greatest source of revenue for the great outdoors, we still face restrictions on Sunday hunting in 11 states. The NRA-ILA continues to push for standardized regulations every day of the week to protect our right to hunt and our ability to affect conservation goals.
