1) Congratulations on your newest position with Independent Women’s Forum (IWF)! Tell us about IWF and the work you do there.
2) Often Hunters and Conservationists try to stay out of conversations about 2A Advocacy, why do you think that is?
3) A recent article in The Hill suggests that “States should ban corporations from selling guns”. Talk to us about the various ways this would harm states from the standpoints of safety, rights, financial & conservation.
