Booking Overview

A weekly firearms news-and-analysis interview show focused on gun policy, politics, culture, litigation, and Second Amendment issues, typically featuring journalists, attorneys, academics, activists, and other specialized voices from the gun world. PR agencies could credibly pitch firearms-law experts, gun-policy researchers, constitutional attorneys, industry representatives, and established firearms journalists; booking difficulty is medium because guests generally need direct subject-matter expertise and credibility within the firearms-policy sphere.
