Our Core Beliefs
We believe that the People’s access to and exercise of natural rights, including that to personal property, are necessary to achieve and maintain a free world. To that end:
We believe that natural rights are not granted by governments, a byproduct of majority consensus or majoritarian process, or mere privileges conferred by any government, group, or creation of man.
We believe that natural rights include but are not limited to the rights to self-defense and use of just force against unjust force; acquiring, possessing, training with, carrying, and using arms for moral and just purposes; free speech; association; protest; privacy; due process; equal protection of the laws; private property; and free markets.
We believe that how a government or society regulates the right to keep and bear arms is a strong and likely leading indicator of how that government or society does or will approach regulation of other natural rights and personal property.
We believe that well-armed people make tyranny at scale significantly more costly.
We believe that liberty is correlated with access to innovation and technology, including but not limited to that of arms, speech, and encryption.
We believe that it is immoral to unjustly use force to take the life, liberty, or property of others.
We believe that we must eliminate coercion and immoral laws, policies, regulations, customs, and enforcement practices in order to fulfill our Purpose.
Our Values
We operate with integrity according to our Core Beliefs and the Firearms Policy Ethic
We deliver value by consistently meeting expectations on time
We take ownership of and responsibility for our decisions, actions, and outcomes
We communicate—up, down, and across—without needing to be asked
We overcome challenges and achieve objectives with tenacity and grit
We learn from failures, mistakes, criticism, feedback, and success
We are an equal opportunity employer.
