NRA’s Doug Hamlin On Cam & Company

NRA EVP Doug Hamlin was interviewed yesterday on Bearing Arms’ Cam and Company. The interview below with Hamlin ends at about the 21 minute mark and then goes into other topics. As Cam points out, Doug Hamlin came from the then-Publications Division and so he probably knows it better than most.

I would also like to point out the prior to the Brewer-instigated war with AckMac that Cam & Company was a NRA production. I would love to see it brought back in house.

In the video Hamlin explains the cuts in NRA Media and discusses the internal restructuring. The backdrop to all of this is the 2026 mid-term elections. Traditionally, the party in the White House tends to fare poorly in the mid-terms. The Republican majority is so thin in the House that every effort needs to be made to preserve it if we want to see progress on gun rights. More money and personnel will be coming to NRA-ILA. It needs to be used wisely as the old days of just throwing more money at the issue are over.

Rep. Mark Meadows On School Safety

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC-11), my Congressman, was on Cam and Company yesterday to discuss his bill that would reallocate monies to the existing Cops in Schools Program. HR 751- Protect America’s Schools Act of 2013 – would shift $30 million to the Cops in Schools program by reallocating $30 million in unobligated balances from NOAA. In other words, it would increase school security without raising the deficit.

Meadows’ bill currently has 11 co-sponsors and has been referred to the House Appropriations Committee.
