About the National Association for Gun Rights

The National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR) is a national gun rights advocacy group headquartered in Loveland, Colorado. It was incorporated on March 29, 2000, by Dudley Brown as a national companion to Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, the Colorado group Brown had already built. NAGR presents itself as a no-compromise alternative to the National Rifle Association, relying on direct mail, grassroots pressure campaigns and primary-election involvement to push lawmakers toward its positions. Its 2014 revenue was reported at about $12.45 million.

NAGR’s legal arm, the National Foundation for Gun Rights, also led by Brown, sponsors litigation. Notable cases include Bonidy v. U.S. Postal Service, a challenge to the ban on firearms on Postal Service property that the Tenth Circuit upheld and the Supreme Court declined to review, and Bevis v. City of Naperville, filed on September 7, 2022, against Naperville’s ban on selling so-called assault weapons. The Supreme Court declined to take the Naperville case in July 2024, and it was later stayed pending the related Barnett v. Raoul challenge to Illinois’ statewide ban. As of mid-2026 Brown remains president, and in July 2026 communications director Taylor Rhodes was promoted to executive director and vice president.
