Firearms That Won (and Kept) American Independence

Gallery

Our nation was built on the backs of our brave founding fathers through determination, vision and sacrifice. In beating back the grip of tyranny, American warfighters relied on a variety of trusted firearms to take the fight to the enemy, earning the inalienable and indefatigable liberties we cherish today, and providing the means by which our sacred freedom is protected.

The NRA Museums houses several of these relics of American freedom on display, a timeless tribute to not only the instruments of freedom, but the citizens and soldiers who wielded them with bravery, valor and heroism, leading the nation through its darkest hours into the light of victory and continued liberty.
