Primary Focus of the ARAF™
Functionality You Will Love
01
Support Gun Safety Training
There are more guns than people in the United States, 6:5. They are not going away - which is why safety and mental health education awareness are more important than ever. ARAF™ provides comprehensive training for youth and adults to ensure that firearms and minds are handled responsibly, safely, and with respect.
We work directly with communities, schools, local officials, and law enforcement to make these resources widely available and accessible.
03
Mental Health & Crisis Response
Gun violence impacts entire communities, leaving lasting trauma. ARAF™ maintains regional crisis response teams ready to provide immediate support when tragedy strikes.
We also partner with mental health providers to expand access to counseling and services for individuals and communities affected by gun violence, ensuring they are not left to face recovery alone.
02
Marksmanship Competitions and Awards for Chapters
We believe responsible marksmanship builds discipline, safety awareness, and respect for firearms. ARAF™ supports local and national competitions that promote sportsmanship and safety while recognizing excellence.
Awards are tailored to reflect the values of each community, celebrating achievement in a meaningful way.
04
Supporting Responsible Gun Ownership Rights
ARAF™, in partnership with the ARA™, identifies gaps in both physical and legal safety and works to address them with practical solutions.
We collaborate with local affiliates and organizations to implement safety initiatives that reduce harm while respecting Constitutional rights. Through research, resources, and on-the-ground engagement, we are committed to strengthening responsibility and reducing risks across communities.
