The real reason to attack the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Firearms Act

Posted by David Hardy · 30 May 2021 08:23 AM

(Title corrected, thanks) A two part article I wrote seven years ago on the topic. It was based on original research of the presidential papers in the Clinton Presidential Library. The plan behind the ruinous lawsuits against the gun makers wasn't just about putting them out of business. It was far more elaborate than that. It involved achieving most of Brady Campaign's goals through forced "voluntary" measures adopted by the gun makers and imposed upon any dealer that bought their products -- an "assault weapon" ban, limits on magazine size, reduction in numbers and harassment of FFLs, etc. All without legislation.

I think you mean "attack."

S&W caved. This was the real reason for the boycott and the bankruptcy.

After serial bankruptcies and a new firm that defends the 2A, I have forgiven the brand.
