Gun industry sounds off on House gun ban, ATF chief, and more<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a busy time for the firearms industry at the moment, and I\u2019m pleased that National Shooting Sports Foundation senior vice president and general counsel Larry Keane could spend a some quality time with Bearing Arms\u2019 Cam & Co today to hit on a number of different topics ranging from the House Democrats\u2019 push for an \u201cassault weapons\u201d ban to the new installation of anti-gun politician and former U.S. Attorney Steve Dettelbach as director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives….<\/p>\n

  • On the Democrats\u2019 proposed ban on \u201cassault weapons\u201d (and magazines holding more than 15 rounds) approved by the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cWe\u2019ll see next week if they have the votes to move forward. I think it will be very, very close one way or the other. There are a very large number of Democrats sponsoring this bill, but whether they\u2019ll continue to sponsor it or support it if it moves to the floor\u2026 we\u2019ll see. There are a couple of Democrats on the bubble, and there are several Democrats in very competitive races who are reported to be very upset with Speaker Pelosi for pushing this issue when they\u2019re in competitive races and they\u2019re concerned that it will hurt their chances at re-election.\u201d<\/li>\n
  • On Steve Dettelbach taking over as ATF director \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cWhen you have the president who calls the industry the \u2018enemy\u2019, when you have this \u2018zero tolerance policy\u2019 and you have (FFL license) revocations up 500% and the basis for those revocations have nothing to do with any risk to public safety, when you have closed inspections being re-opened after being closed for six months and then seeking to revoke six months later after saying [the violations] didn\u2019t rise to that level, it\u2019s very very troubling. So we\u2019re really considered about this approach by the administration; instead of going after trigger-pullers and the bad people (and there are a lot of people who need to be locked up) going after law-abiding citizens and\u00a0showing up unannounced at their doorstep<\/a>\u00a0and trying to coerce them into letting them into their house with no warrant, that\u2019s troubling.<\/li>\n
  • On the gun control lobby\u2019s attempt to sue gun makers based on claims of deceptive marketing, including California\u2019s new law banning marketing materials supposedly aimed at minors \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cLook,\u00a0this law in California<\/a>\u00a0is obviously unconstitutional. It obviously violates the First Amendment right to speech, the right to freedom of association, and it violates the Due Process clause because it says you know, \u2018what\u2019s attractive to a minor\u2019; a vague and subjective standard. I feel like I\u2019ve gone back in Mr. Peabody\u2019s Wayback Machine to the 1990s because we\u2019re hearing all the same arguments from the same gun control groups trying to file lawsuits against the industry. You know, the House Judiciary Committee also last night passed a bill to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act and to repeal the Tiahrt Amendment that prevents the disclosure of law enforcement-sensitive trace information outside of law enforcement because it puts law enforcement at risk\u2026. they\u2019re filing these complaints with the Federal Trade Commission\u2026 they have disdain for the Second Amendment, and they\u2019re entitled to their opinion, but they\u2019re not entitled to suppress the First Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, law-abiding companies to be able to advertise their products.\u201d<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
