The Second Amendment has had a tumultuous 21st century so far. From the sunset of the Assault Weapons Ban to "mass shootings” clogging news feeds, and from Heller to red flag laws, there has rarely been what anyone would call a quiet year. Most recently, we've seen a major shift in the Supreme Court, and a turbulent turnover in the White House. All that has, on top of the pandemic concerns about police coverage and the resulting panic buying, made gun rights issues more unpredictable and in the spotlight than ever.
Throughout that chaos, there have been many gun rights organizations attempting to secure both our liberties and their place in the political landscape. One such group is the National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR) that, while not new to this game, is seemingly aiming for the title of "least compromising," and is willing to call it as they see it, no matter whom they're up against, or even alongside.
We recently got in touch with Dudley Brown, CEO of NAGR, and had a chat with him about life, liberty, and the pursuit of NFA items.
RECOIL: Who are you, and what is the National Association for Gun Rights?
Dudley Brown: I'm just a kid who grew up in South Dakota, who fell into working in politics. I grew up I an upland game bird guy in Western South Dakota and shot with friends, but I wasn't really into tactical rifles. Nowadays, tactical firearms and automatics are kind of my thing. I do more precision rifle shooting than anything else, really.
