The Socialist Rifle Association (SRA), incorporated in Kansas on this day in 2018, is a firearm organization dedicated to “providing working class people the information they need to be effectively armed for self and community defense”.

The SRA describes the mission of their organization as “to provide an alternate to the mainstream, toxic, right-wing, and non-inclusive gun culture that has dominated the firearms community for decades. We seek to provide a safe, inclusive, and left-leaning platform for talking about gun rights and self defense, free from racist and reactionary prejudices, while providing a platform for the working class to obtain the skills necessary for all aspects of community defense”.
