<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By Larry Keane<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gun control allies were drooling at the prospects of sweeping victories last November to enact strict antigun laws at the federal, state and local levels. American voters had other ideas in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tens of millions acted on their Second Amendment rights in two ways. They bought guns in record numbers and they voted for their rights at the ballot box. President Joe Biden\u2019s White House is now stuck pondering its next gun control move and gun-friendly state legislatures are acting to protect the right to purchase and possess firearms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changing Landscape<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris ran the most antigun presidential ticket<\/a><\/strong> in history. President Biden made his disdain clear and early, labeling the firearm industry \u201c<\/strong>the enemy<\/strong><\/a>.\u201d<\/strong> The rest of the presidential campaign included building a platform with enough gun control planks<\/a><\/strong> to build a boat. Antigun billionaire Michael Bloomberg partnered<\/a><\/strong> up and spent more than $1 billion dollars to flip seats for gun control. Bloomberg said<\/a><\/strong> \u201cMy [gun control] agenda is not some johnny-come-lately list of borrowed ideas. This is part of my life\u2019s work, and I\u2019m just telling you I will get this done whether I get elected or not.\u201d He might as well have set his money on fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Biden and Vice President Harris won the White House, but they lost allies in Congress and in the states. That limits U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer\u2019s (D-N.Y.) ability to pass antigun legislation. That development, and gun control falling way down<\/strong><\/a> the priority list of Americans, has the White House balking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

State legislators aren\u2019t taking it for granted, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Financial Nondiscrimination<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

State lawmakers are acting to strengthen Second Amendment protections within their borders. Their first focus is ending discrimination against the firearm industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banking discrimination is a real concern. National financial institutions are pushing \u201cwoke\u201d social activism from their boardrooms and discriminating against firearm businesses that rely on banking services, loans, lines of credit and payment processing services. It\u2019s a privatization of the illegal\u00a0Operation Choke Point<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and banks are doing this despite the fact they received taxpayer-funded bailouts and benefits. While there\u2019s\u00a0movement<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in Congress to prohibit this discrimination, several state legislatures are going on offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arizona, Arkansas, Indiana<\/a>,<\/strong> Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, West Virginia and Wyoming have all seen state-level firearm industry nondiscrimination (FIND Act) legislation introduced. In Texas, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick even announced<\/a><\/strong> gun industry protections are among his top 2021 legislative priorities, a significant move in the Lone Star State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

State Preemption<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, municipal officials used the guise of the coronavirus emergency to implement strict gun control schemes. States legislators are strengthening their preemption laws to blunt these executive end-arounds, ensuring no gun control is enacted that is stricter than what is current state law. Washington state\u2019s preemption law just got a big win after an appeals court struck down<\/strong><\/a> the city of Edmond\u2019s new mandatory firearm storage law, ruling it violated the state\u2019s preemption statute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nebraska, Mississippi, Texas, New Hampshire, Utah<\/a><\/strong> and others are working to strengthen their state\u2019s preemption laws. \u201cAny regulation, in the state of Utah, as it relates to firearms, is the prerogative of the state,\u201d said Republican Utah state Rep. Cory Maloy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s work to be done and the firearm industry trade association is working with legislators on Capitol Hill and in the state\u2019s legislatures to protect the industry against overzealous gun control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Larry Keane <\/strong>is Senior Vice President of Government and Public Affairs and General Counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation<\/a>, the firearms industry trade association.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
