Pete Brownell is the grandson of Brownells founder Bob Brownell and currently serves as the company’s president. Brownells is the world's largest supplier of firearm parts, gunsmithing tools, equipment and accessories. The company is part of the NRA’s corporate giving program and has donated enough money to be included in “The Ring of Freedom,” a designation reserved for NRA’s largest corporate donors. Brownells contributed between $500,000 and $999,999 to the NRA between 2005 and 2010. During his campaign to join the NRA board, Brownell highlighted his company’s close ties with the organization, saying, “Having directors who intimately understand and work in leadership positions within the firearms industry ensures the NRA's focus is honed on the overall mission of the organization.” Brownell, however, has claimed that he has no financial interest in the positions of the NRA. Brownell’s website allows customers to purchase high-capacity magazines for handguns and assault rifles, including magazines that hold up to 30 bullets. According to the website’s description for a detachable 30-round magazine for an AR-15 assault rifle, “A battle rifle is only as reliable as its magazine.”
