Actor and popular long-time National Rifle Association board member Tom Selleck has reportedly stepped down due to his work schedule.
Selleck, 73, best known for his roles in Magnum, P.I. numerous Westerns and the police drama Blue Bloods, has left the 76-member steering group for the gun rights organization as first reported by The Trace. A member of the group since his youth, he was first elected to the board in 2005 and his current term was not set to expire until 2020.
“He has nothing to do with policy. He’s never been active on the board or anything the NRA engages in. He’s almost always been a silent board member,” said Selleck’s publicist, Annette Wolf, who clarified that he has stepped down from the board due to his work schedule but remains a member of the group itself.
In years past, Selleck, who is known for his roles where he packs heat, has been outspoken on gun rights.
