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.
