Socialist Rifle Association

The Socialist Rifle Association (SRA) is an American socialist firearm organization that is dedicated to "providing working class people the information they need to be effectively armed for self and community defense." The group advocates for Second Amendment gun rights from a left-wing perspective. Background The Socialist Rifle Association was initially created as a Facebook page in 2013, as "something of a joke". As time went on, supporters decided to make it a reality, and incorporated as a limited liability company in New Mexico. On October 10, 2018, the Socialist Rifle Association Inc. was founded in Kansas under the 501(c)(4) tax code provision. On October 16, 2018, a merger agreement was agreed between the two extant SRA nonprofits. The City of Charlottesville, et al. vs. The Pennsylvania Light Foot Militia, et al. (2018) Individuals associated with an unrelated community Facebook page calling itself the SRA attended the Unite the Right rally on the counterprotest side and were subsequently sued for their involvement. In October 2018, the city of Charlottesville filed a lawsuit against 25 groups and individuals for alleged paramilitary activity based on a recently adopted state statute. In addition to several white supremacist figures and organizations such as the Traditionalist Worker Party, League of the South and Jason Kessler, the lawsuit also listed two anti-racist groups, the original SRA group and the left-wing gun group Redneck Revolt.
