Last week, Senator Warren (D-MA) outlined a plan that proposes executive action to “rein in an out-of-control gun industry” as a part of her presidential campaign platform, aiming to “hold both gun dealers and manufacturers accountable for the violence promoted by their products.”
Warren’s proposal includes a law that would impose criminal liability and jail time for gun company CEOs if their company “is found guilty of a crime or their negligence causes severe harm to American families.” Her legislation also seeks to increase taxes on the industry, to 30 percent on guns and 50 percent on ammunition “to reduce new gun and ammunition sales overall and to bring in new federal revenue that we can use for gun violence prevention and enforcement of existing gun laws.” The Warren plan includes several other radical proposals that are undoubtedly aimed at eradicating the firearms and ammunition industry, including:

What seems like absolutely outrageous ideas today could very well become law by this time in 2021. NSSF needs your support to help defend the industry today. Please click here to contribute.
