Attacks on gun industry ramping up in 2023

With gun ban bills pending in several states, the ATF set to finalize new rules for pistol stabilizing braces (not to mention changing their interpretation of their new regulations on unfinished frames and receivers), and blue state governors encouraging junk lawsuits against gun makers, the firearms industry faces a host of challenges this year even as the number of new gun owners continues to grow.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation’s senior vice president and general counsel Larry Keane joins Cam & Co today for a wide-ranging discussion about the coming threats to gun owners and the firearms industry in 2023, as well as how the industry plans to respond.

Keane notes that Congress is likely to see gridlock when it comes to any gun-related legislation, both good and bad for gun owners. The Democrat-controlled Senate may try to advance anti-gun bills but they’re not likely to get a hearing in the (theoretically, anyway) GOP-controlled House, while the same holds true for any pro-2A measure approved by House members.
