St. Michael - Second Amendment - Bronze Antique

As the nation's foremost defender of Second Amendment rights, the National Rifle Association (NRA) has fought tirelessly to safeguard every America's freedom to keep and bear arms.

Faithfully carrying out its mission for more than 130 years, the NRA has attracted the support of more than 3.5 million Americans. Since its inception in 1871, the organization has been committed to promoting the safe and responsible use of firearms and remains a world leader in the development of high quality training and education programs on firearms safety.

As part of its mission, the NRA has always strongly supported the efforts of America's law enforcement officers. Firmly standing behind these courageous individuals as they protect Americans from the most dangerous elements in our society, the NRA is spurred on by the bold example of St. Michael, the Patron Saint of Law Enforcement, who led the army of God against the renegade Lucifer.

This coin commemorates the NRA's enduring legacy as America's principal protector of the Second Amendment. The obverse depicts St. Michael standing triumphantly over the defeated Lucifer. The reverse contains the text of the Second Amendment and includes a quote from Thomas Jefferson that reads: "No Free man shall be debarred the use of arms."

Minted in MerlinGold,® a proprietary brass alloy that simulates the look and feel of gold, this coin contains an antique bronze finish. Each coin comes packaged with a detailed header card that salutes the NRA's vigorous defense of the Second Amendment.
