The event in question is in association with another group with a distinct interest in firearms: the NRA (National Rifle Assocation).
"NRA Firearms For Freedom Auction," begins August 21, 2011, in Dallas, TX. The special event, featuring donations from NRA members, benefits the NRA, its mission in defence of America's Second Amendment rights.
Greg Martin is a long-time supporter of the NRA.
The diverse offerings at the sales include a wide selection of antique and modern firearms, including target and sporting guns, rifles, shotguns and handguns.
