2A Radio Hosts: The Voices of Gun Talk on the Air

Talk radio has been a home for Second Amendment news and commentary since the 1990s. Weekly gun shows give owners something mainstream outlets rarely provide: hosts who shoot, hunt, carry and compete, explaining new laws, court rulings and products from a gun owner’s point of view. Many also take calls, so listeners can ask about traveling with firearms, choosing a first handgun or understanding a new state law. Today most of these programs reach audiences on broadcast stations as well as podcasts, YouTube, Rumble and other streaming platforms, so the line between “radio host” and “podcaster” has blurred.

The best-known example is Tom Gresham’s Gun Talk, which launched in 1995 and in its 30th year reported airing on more than 320 stations, live on Sundays. Armed American Radio, hosted by Mark Walters, grew from a Sunday show into a network and added a weekday “Daily Defense” hour in 2015. Cam Edwards, long the host of NRANews’ Cam & Company, now hosts Cam & Co for Bearing Arms, a daily program of 2A news and interviews. Regional and online shows, such as Rapid Fire Radio with Toby Leary and the team from Cape Gun Works, Gun Freedom Radio in Arizona and Gun Owners Radio, fill in local coverage and niche topics.
