Shooters Committee on Political Education

SCOPE - The Shooters Committee On Political Education. We are a Not For Profit STATEWIDE volunteer organization, dedicated to preserving your "Right to keep and bear arms" through education and political action. SCOPE is also affiliate member of the NRA.

SCOPE believes that the real truth is no matter how many strict gun control/confiscation laws are passed they will do nothing but disarm responsible law abiding Americans.  By definition criminals do not obey laws, they will never give up their illegal firearms.  Just as the war on drugs has resulted in the availability of illegal drugs in every city, town and village, gun control will have no effect on stopping the criminal use of firearms.

As a member of SCOPE you can feel good to know your membership dues are going to preserve your rights within New York State. Through SCOPE you can get involved if you want to.

We are proud of the SCOPE members who have been elected to several County Legislatures, and the State Senate.

Each member makes it that much harder for the anti-gun politicians to take away your rights. There's NO EXCUSE not to join!
 
BUT I already belong to the NRA. That's great! The NRA is an effective national organization that works primarily on the federal level.  SCOPE is a GRASSROOTS organization working more effectively on the LOCAL and STATE levels.  Both compliment each other and are vitally important in defending your rights.

WHY belong to more than one organization?  Your rights are being assaulted on three fronts - federal, state and local. SCOPE helps the NRA fill in the gaps by organizing the grassroots effort in NYS.

I'M too busy to help. While we encourage all our members to participate in SCOPE's activities, you don't have to get involved if you choose not to. The important thing is that you join SCOPE right now - every member we have counts and makes it harder for the anti-gun politicians to take away YOUR rights.

About S.C.O.P.E.

The Shooter’s Committee on Political Education was founded in 1965 by a group of firearms owners in western New York.  SCOPE is a civil rights organization focused on the protection and preservation of the right of firearms ownership as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

It does not align itself with any political party nor does it endorse any candidates for elective office.  Our function is to counter assaults on the right of firearms ownership.  This entails providing legislators and executives with timely and accurate information to support sound decisions.

SCOPE's Mission Statement

SCOPE'S Mission:

SCOPE’s purpose is to maintain the right of individuals to own and use firearms for lawful purposes.  Inform members about antigun/gun owner legislation.
Stop antigun/gun owner legislation in New York State. Educate the public on the positive aspects of firearm ownership, and their Second Amendment rights.

What is S.C.O.P.E.

SCOPE is a New York State Not For Profit Volunteer Organization dedicated to the preservation of the Second Amendment Rights for New York Citizens.

SCOPE will oppose, with all its resources, any proposal that is not based on sound technical grounds or that infringes on the rights of firearms owners for the purpose of promoting a political philosophy, advancing a social theory, or as an emotional response and is not based on clear Constitutional grounds.
