In November 2015, I recorded an oral history with John Snyder, who was then-retired as "the dean of Washington gun lobbyists." A pivotal figure in the gun rights movement, he passed away in 2017 at age 79. The full 31-page oral history interview was recently published as a Working Paper by the University of Wyoming College of Law's Firearms Research Center: John Snyder: An Oral History of the Dean of Washington Gun Lobbyists. From Georgetown to the NRAJohn Snyder entered the gun rights arena almost by accident. It should be noted that Snyder in February 2016 became the first national figure in the gun rights movement to endorse Donald Trump for President.
