Gunmaster (Novelty)

Golden Age Origin
Gregory Gayle was a skilled American detective with several decades of experience. He started out as a supporting character in his daughter's feature, but he got his own feature in Guns Against Gangsters. He was fairly protective of his daughter. He didn't want her to follow his footsteps because it would put her in danger. When she did decide to keep solving crimes, he insisted that she be accompanied by a bodyguard.

Gregory earned the nickname "Gunmaster" because of his expertise and proficiency in firearms. But while was quite proud of his knowledge and skills, he was vehement in ensuring that guns don't fall into the hands of people that would use them to do harm.
