| Gun control advocates have renewed a longstanding plan to have the Federal Trade Commission (which regulates commercial speech) punish firearms manufacturers for how they advertise firearms. A petition filed with the FTC by several large firearm prohibition organizations claims that any suggestion firearms provide protection to their owners or make their homes safer is tantamount to false advertising. The petition also suggests that the use of patriotic, militaristic, or macho images and languages in firearm advertising – the same themes used to sell everything from beer to vehicles to sun glasses – is deliberately being used to appeal to insurrectionists and mass shooters. |

| Democratic Texas gubernatorial candidate Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke’s position on guns is straightforward. The former New York manny wants to ban and confiscate America’s most popular firearms and further undermine Texans’ Second Amendment rights. |

| Gun control advocates’ preferred policies have been repeatedly rejected by the American people through their elected representatives. The U.S. Supreme Court and Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution has foreclosed, for now, gun control backers’ chief aim – total civilian disarmament. Moreover, the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act makes clear that firearm manufacturers may not be held liable for the criminal actions of third parties that misuse their products. |
