R.I.P David.

He was always promoting his org & its cause, individual liberty. Was just talking to him about one of II's new books 2 weeks ago. Seemed to have same energy & vigor for liberty and anti-interventionism as when I first met him 20 years ago.https://t.co/wqPCy5pcIS — William Ruger 🇺🇸 (@WillRuger) April 26, 2022
