The Voices Of The Second Amendment

A new feature to the NRA Annual Meeting was the Voices of the Second Amendment section. It featured a number of podcasters who recorded interviews with people in the industry, others of interest, and even newly elected NRA Board members. Thanks goes to Amanda Suffecool who conceived it and helped organize it. She took as her inspiration what has been called “radio row” at the SHOT Show.

Among the podcasters was Alex Ooley of the Forge of Freedom Podcast. Alex had interviewed me a few times in the past regarding the NYAG’s trial in New York and my run for the NRA Board of Directors. This interview was done on Friday afternoon. It was the day before the Meeting of Members in which I presented my resolution on transparency.

Other podcasters involved in this effort included big names like Michael Bane, Stephen Gutowski of The Reload, Tom and Ryan Gresham of Gun Talk, and Cam Edwards of Bearing Arms. I understand it was considered a great success by all involved and will be expanded at next year’s annual meeting in Houston, Texas.

Interview On Assorted Calibers Podcast

After I returned from the NRA Annual Meeting in Atlanta, I was interviewed by Weer’d Beard of the Assorted Calibers Podcast. Weer’d and I go way back as I think we first met in person at the 2011 NRA Annual Meeting held in Pittsburgh. Long before Weer’d got into podcasting he was a gun blogger.

We discussed among other things our mutual impressions of the Annual Meeting, how the Board meeting went on Monday, and how the NRA 2.0 reform wing won all the major officer positions. You can find the show notes for Episode 344 of the Assorted Calibers Podcast here.

You can listen to my interview starting at about the 55:00 mark. The audio of the podcast can be found here.
