He was an author and co-author of books and articles about gun rights, on which he took an absolutist stance on the meaning of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and encouraged Americans to understand, uphold, and defend the Bill of Rights. In addition, he produced and co-produced films on the subject.[1]

Life

Zelman was born March 14, 1946, in Massachusetts, and reared in Tucson, Arizona, by his grandmother. He served in the U.S. Navy as a Corpsman to Marines (Fleet Marine Force Medic, Third Marine Air Wing), working as a psychiatric unit assistant to returning Vietnam War veterans. After different sales jobs, and work as a gun dealer, he ultimately settled in Wisconsin.[1][2] Zelman was survived by his wife and two sons. Both sons later died from complications of Marfan syndrome.[3][4]
