Who is the National Shooting Sports Foundation?
The National Shooting Sports
Foundation (NSSF) is the
trade association for the firearms
industry. Its mission is to promote,
protect and preserve hunting and
the shooting sports. Formed in
1961, NSSF has a membership
of about 13,000 manufacturers,
distributors, firearms retailers,
shooting ranges, sportsmen’s
organizations and publishers.
For more than 200 years,
America’s firearms and ammunition
industry has made products that
have been part of our country’s
tradition of freedom, self-reliance
and enjoyment of the outdoors.
NSSF has led the way in promoting
responsible ownership of firearms.
NSSF concentrates its efforts on
measurably advancing participation
in and understanding of hunting
and the shooting sports; reaffirming
and strengthening our members’
commitment to the safe and
responsible use of their products,
and promoting a political climate
supportive of America’s traditional
firearms rights.
NSSF’s expanding government
relations program responds to the
ever-changing political environment
that threatens the lawful commerce
in our industry’s products, the
future of hunting, recreational
shooting and our firearms freedoms.
NSSF works on both state and federal
issues, along with working with
many state and federal regulatory
agencies, to protect the firearms
industry and make sure their
business interests are appropriately
represented.
This report details the
significant economic impact
the firearms and ammunition
industry has on the nation’s
and each state’s economy. The
economic growth America’s
firearms and ammunition industry
has experienced in recent years has
been nothing short of remarkable.
Over the past eight years, the
industry’s growth has been driven
by an unprecedented number of
Americans choosing to exercise
their fundamental right to keep
and bear arms and purchase a
firearm and ammunition.
NSSF, representing America’s
firearms and ammunition
manufacturers, takes great pride
in supporting wildlife conservation
efforts. Noted in the economic
impact report is the significant
taxes paid by our industry to
federal and state governments and
the Pittman-Robertson excise tax
the industry pays on the products
it sells – this tax is the major source
of wildlife conservation funding in
America.
During difficult economic
times and high unemployment
rates nationally, our industry has
grown and created about 30,000
new, well-paying jobs over the past
3 years. Our industry is proud to
be one of the bright spots in this
economy.
Take a look for yourself and see
the impact we have nationally and on
your home state. (See center spread.)
The Firearms and Ammunition Industry Economic Impact Report
The Firearms Industry Creates Jobs in America
United States companies that manufacture, distribute, and sell sporting firearms,ammunition and suppliers are an important part of the country’s economy. Manufacturers of firearms, ammunition, and supplies, along with companies that sell and distribute these products, provide well paying jobs in America and pay significant amounts in tax to the state and Federal governments.

Direct impacts include those jobs in firearms and ammunition manufacturers, as well as companies that manufacture products such as ammunition holders and magazines, cases, decoys, game calls, holsters, hunting equipment, scopes, clay pigeons and targets. Direct impacts also include those resulting from the wholesale distribution and retailing of these products.

The Firearms & Ammunition Industry is an Important Part of America’s EconomyCompanies in the United States that manufacture, distribute and sell firearms, ammunition and hunting equipment employ as many as 141,500 people in the country and generate an additional 159,623 jobs in supplier and ancillary industries. These include jobs in companies supplying goods and services to manufacturers, distributors and retailers, as well as those that depend on sales to workers in the firearms and ammunition industry.[1]
These are good jobs, paying an average of $50,423 in wages and benefits. And today every job is important. In fact, workers in the United States face an unemployment rate of about 5 percent. This means that there are already nearly 8 million people trying to find jobs in the nation and collecting unemployment benefits. [2]
The Economic Benefit of the Industry Spreads Throughout the CountryNot only does the manufacture and sale of firearms, ammunition, shooting and hunting supplies create good jobs in the United States but the industry also contributes to the economy as a whole. In fact, in 2016 the firearms and ammunition industry was responsible for as much as $51.3 billion in total economic activity in the country.
The broader economic impact flows throughout the economy, generating business for firms seemingly unrelated to firearms. Real people, with real jobs, working in industries as varied as banking, retail, accounting, metal working, even in printing, all depend on the firearms and ammunition industry for their livelihood.
The Country Also Benefits From the Taxes Paid By The IndustryThe firearms and ammunition industry generates sizable tax revenues. In the United States, the industry and its
