I am a former firearms exec who owns and has sold a lot of guns. Never AR15s and never with incendiary marketing. I believe In responsibility and decency and for more than 15 years I fought against the industry from the inside because I feared where it was going.
And its gone way too far. The industry has forgotten responsibility. The @NRA set this course and now it’s poisoned our entire country. We have intractable chaos. Kids are collateral damage in a sick culture war. Everything we care about is impacted.
I had to get out and fight from the outside. I wrote GUNFIGHT so that people can know the truth of how we got here. With knowledge maybe we can make things better. I call on all responsible gun owners to join #GunOwnersForSafety so that we can take our country back.

I know a lot of you are seeing me on TV and hearing about me for the first time. Here is who I am…and why I’m doing what I am doing:

I grew up in a ranch and we had a lot of guns, hunting and shooting with my family . Many of my best days were spent with guns.
After college it was like a dream for me to get a job in the shooting industry. I spent 25 years in it and for a while it was like a dream, but that was when the industry knew not to engage in the irresponsible marketing, when it was not all about partisan power.
Hell…back then the industry would not even allow the display of tactical gear in its own trade shows. I helped build an iconic company. I won awards. I operated at a very high level. But I never gave up on that responsible vision of Gun ownership that I learned as a kid.
