Prominent journalist Katie Pavlich, editor of Townhall.com and a Fox News commentator, has a keen understanding of the firearm industry, and readily acknowledges the importance of the preservation of the Second Amendment and NRA’s role in maintaining our firearm freedoms. After all, she is an NRA Life member, a lifelong hunter, and has her finger on the pulse of America’s gun rights. But she didn't pull any punches when she sat down in April with NRA EVP/CEO Doug Hamlin for a one-on-one interview at the 154th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Atlanta, Georgia. Watch the full interview here, as Pavlich poses tough questions to Hamlin on national gun politics and the challenges facing the NRA—and how our members can be assured that NRA will continue to be at the forefront of protecting America’s gun rights.
