Hunting and firearms are two words that are often paired together. For many hunters, guns are the tools of their trade. It's no surprise that most hunters are staunch supporters of Second Amendment rights. The Second Amendment though, was not drafted with hunters in mind. Hunting and our right to bear arms are two very different issues with separate histories. Ray Trejo and Jesse Deubel of the New Mexico Wildlife Federation sit down with author Ryan Busse to discuss why hunters and all responsible firearms owners should be leaders in the effort to reduce gun violence across the United States. In his new book, Ryan Busse discusses how the firearms industry has changed over the years and why gun enthusiasts across the United States should be concerned.
