Gun Rights, Outrageous News and More with Adam Kraut

The Gun Experiment

"Recognize that firearms aren’t inherently good or bad—it’s how people use them and the intent behind the action that matters."

Episode Summary

In this episode of The Gun Experiment, we welcome back Adam Kraut, Executive Director of the Second Amendment Foundation, for a lively conversation that blends gun rights advocacy, legal insight, and personal stories. Adam updates listeners on the latest initiatives at SAF, including their work on the Gun Rights Policy Conference, new educational programs, active lawsuits, and strategic partnerships in the firearms community. The three of us also dive into hot topics such as Second Amendment case law, the role of gun culture in society, and plenty of other outrageous news.

From competitive shooting trips and gardening tips, we keep things engaging and relatable, while not shying away from deeper conversations about law, government, and civic duty.
