The Idaho Way

Watch: ‘Gunfight’ author Ryan Busse discusses gun control and culture in Idaho

Second Amendment rights and access to firearms are hot topics in Idaho and across the nation.

This week’s livestream of The Idaho Way will focus Idaho’s on gun rights and culture with our guest Ryan Busse, a noted author, former firearms industry executive, and gun rights advocate — and also a critic of American’s obsession with guns. He’s given a TEDx Talk, testified before the U.S. Senate, and written “Gunfight,” a book exploring our relationship with guns.

Join us for our weekly livestream conversation with Busse and The Idaho Way opinion team, Scott McIntosh and Bryan Clark. Register on our Eventbrite page and ask your question in advance.

Busse remains an ardent outdoorsman, gun owner and hunter, but says there is much that needs to be changed about how American view guns and the right to bear arms.

Busse will join Scott McIntosh and Bryan Clark from his home in Montana.

The paperback edition of “Gunfight: My Battle Against the Industry that Radicalized America” by Ryan Busse will be published on April 25, 2023.
