45 mins Ryan Busse is a former firearms executive who helped build one of the world’s most iconic gun companies, and was nominated multiple times by industry colleagues for the prestigious Shooting Industry Person of The Year Award. Busse is an environmental advocate who served in many leadership roles for conservation organizations, including as an advisor for the United States Senate Sportsmen’s Caucus and the Biden Presidential Campaign. He remains a proud outdoorsman, gun owner, father, and resident of Montana.
Ryan grew up on a family cattle ranch and wheat farm, and graduated with 16 kids in a rural public school. He and his wife Sara have raised their two boys in Northwest Montana, hunting, fishing, and respecting the lands, waters and people of the Last Best Place.
For more than 25 years, Ryan was a successful executive who helped build an iconic American gun company from Kalispell. But he also saw how unchecked extremism risks all gun owners’ rights—and how that extremism could take away American freedoms and even jeopardize our democracy.
Ryan sees the same thing happening to Montana: wealthy extremist Greg Gianforte bought his seat with his own money, not the will of Montanans. He’s tossed responsibility aside and now he’s raising our taxes, making Montana unaffordable, defunding our public schools, locking up our public lands, hijacking our freedoms and rigging the system for the rich.
