The 34th Gun Rights Policy Conference came to Phoenix in September 2019 and became the largest GRPC in its history, with 91 speakers and more than 100,000 people watching the livestream. With the conference a short drive from the Gun Websites home base in Tucson, the crew promoted it all summer, from a DC Project event in July to Clover’s GRPC Telethon, alongside AmmCon, the Second Amendment media gathering the day before.
Gun Rights Policy Conference 2019 History
GRPC 2019 ran September 20 to 22 in Phoenix, co-sponsored by the Second Amendment Foundation and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. It featured 91 speakers, the most of any GRPC, and the livestream on the Second Amendment Foundation’s Facebook page reached more than 100,000 viewers.
The opening session, titled NRA, The Elephant in the Room, took on the turmoil inside the National Rifle Association that spring, and former sheriff Richard Mack gave the closing remarks. Ten Defender of Liberty awards went to activists and writers, including Ammoland’s Fredy Riehl and Dean Weingarten.
Our Take on Gun Rights Policy Conference 2019
2019 showed how much the grassroots side of the movement had grown. AmmCon, a gathering for Second Amendment media, ran the day before GRPC, and independent channels, podcasters and writers were as much a part of the weekend as the national organizations.
It also showed the movement talking openly about its own problems. Putting the NRA’s internal fight on the main stage was a sign that the rest of the gun rights world was ready to build around it.
