“The efforts of the NRA are critical to the future of the country.”

—James Debney,  Ring of Freedom Member

“I like being a part of a democracy. I like being free. I like being able to vote without threat. And I don’t want any of that compromised. And I feel the NRA and the Ring of Freedom and many of their other programs safeguard that for me now and I want to help safeguard it for other generations.”

—Janet Nyce,  Ring of Freedom Member

—John & Kathi Schumann,  Ring of Freedom Members
