Biography
Dave Butz is the host of an annual shooting event sponsored by the NRA called the “Redskins Sporting Clays Challenge.” The event has been criticized as insensitive in light of the number of young people shot and killed in Washington D.C., especially given the event’s billing as a way to improve the “health and wellness” of Washington youth by raising funds for the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation. The NRA is the most vocal opponent of strong gun laws in the District. Between 2008 and 2010, Butz received approximately $150,000 compensation per year from the National Rifle Association.
