Armory of Harmony was registered as a US Non Profit in July 2018. We are musicians supporting musicians and are fiercely apolitical. We take no stance on regulations, make no endorsements of any politicians, and have no agenda beyond the belief that the afterlife of a weapon can be used to create instruments of unity and joy.
