The NSSF's Protect Liberty Political Action Committee (Protect Liberty PAC) received a significant contribution from Range USA, the nation's largest indoor gun range and firearm retailer, that will be utilized to help identify and support the election of candidates who are dedicated to preserving and protecting liberty, freedom and the Constitutional rights of all Americans. The $25,000 contribution from Range USA will buoy Protect Liberty PAC's efforts ahead of the November 2026 election to ensure voters in key battleground states and congressional districts across the country are informed about candidates who will fight for their Constitutional rights and not carry out a "woke," progressive, far left political agenda that threatens those rights.

"This generous contribution from Range USA is extremely important to our efforts and represents a strong belief in Protect Liberty PAC's mission to elect candidates who will fight for our liberties and freedoms, including the Second Amendment," said Lawrence G. Keane, Protect Liberty PAC's Treasurer. "With the campaign year upon us already and Election Day next November, we hope more businesses in the firearm, ammunition, hunting, recreational and shooting sports industry will consider matching Range USA's leadership this early on and support Protect Liberty PAC – their industry's super PAC."

"It's an honor to make this contribution to defend the freedoms of not only our customers, but for all gun owners," said Tom Willingham, President and CEO of Range USA. "Supporting organizations that stand up for our constitutional rights is not just good business—it's the right thing to do for our community and our country."

Protect Liberty PAC is a federally registered "super PAC" founded in 2023 by NSSF. Protect Liberty PAC is an independent-expenditure only political committee and can accept unlimited personal and corporate contributions from companies in or outside of the industry, so long as they do not have federal contracts. Protect Liberty PAC will expressly advocate for the election or defeat of specific candidates and that advocacy will be completely independent of any candidate or political party.

Contributions to Protect Liberty PAC are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. Federal law requires Protect Liberty PAC to use its best efforts to collect and report the name, mailing address, occupation and the name of employer of individuals whose contributions exceed $200 in a calendar year. Protect Liberty PAC can accept unlimited personal and corporate contributions. However, contributions from foreign nationals, federal contractors, national banks, and federally chartered corporations are prohibited.
