SilencerCo’s “American Gun” Campaign Reveals Diversity Of American Gun Owners
SilencerCo launched “American Gun,” a series of videos featuring vastly different kinds of gun owners around America to illustrate the commonality of firearms among people from all walks of life. The first video, “American Gun: The Realtor,” was released July 14. Additional videos will follow on a monthly basis.
In the premiere video, JoAnna, a single mother and real estate professional from North Carolina, tells SilencerCo why she carries concealed.
“Feeling the power that you have in your hand and what you can do with it is going to make you more of who you already are,” said JoAnna. “It’s not a weapon against someone, it’s protection for myself.”
“American Gun” is an intimate look at the foundation of American freedom, focusing on the right to bear arms and the vast diversity of people that exists among those who support the second amendment across this country.
The videos are featured on SilencerCo’s YouTube channel and social media platforms. They are meant to be shared and re-shared, sparking an honest conversation surrounding firearms.
