We experiment with concepts in guns, gear and training; all while having conversations about interesting things, with interesting people. Yes, we will talk about guns, but not just guns because humans weren’t meant to be one dimensional. The gun is merely a tool and we believe the person is the true weapon. We want to explore different ways to make this “weapon” better in mind, body and spirit. Experiment...everyday.

    The Business of Paid Protests with Adam Swart

    "The power of a crowd lies not just in its size, but in the perceptions it shapes."Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Gun Experiment, we sit down with Adam Swart, CEO of Crowds on Demand, for an eye-opening conversation about crowds, political demonstrations, free speech, and gun rights. Adam pulls back the curtain on his business, which specializes in orchestrating paid crowds and events for everything from political rallies to guerilla marketing stunts. We dive deep into the ethical challenges of paid protests, the influence of media, the dynamics of social movements, and the complex intersection of money, activism, and public perception. Along the way, Adam gets candid about evolving his company’s approach, shares insights into how paid demonstrations may impact the Second Amendment narrative, and discusses the dangers of social media-fueled division in our country. We also touch on current events like campus protests, political polarization, and the responsibilities of both media and citizens when it comes to validating what we see.
