President Joe Biden (Photo: Whitehouse.gov<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

President Joe Biden has spent an extraordinary amount of speech time decrying the firearm industry\u2019s existence. He\u2019s repeated the same lies over and over. He\u2019s called more than 375,000<\/a><\/strong> Americans that work for lawful firearm and ammunition businesses \u201cthe enemy<\/strong><\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one could blame the president\u2019s chief speechwriter for announcing<\/a><\/strong> he\u2019s jumping ship and leaving The White House. The claims the president has made against the firearm industry are indefensible. No one should hold their breath, though, that the president will change his tune regarding his gun control agenda or the lies he says about the firearm industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would help is if President Biden instead listened to his own words about the good the industry has done. The campaign is called Real Solutions, Safer Communities<\/strong><\/a>\u00ae for a reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rose Garden Real Talk<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There was a time when then-Vice President Biden understood the effectiveness of the firearm industry\u2019s Project ChildSafe<\/strong><\/a>.\u00ae It\u2019s just one pillar of the multipronged Real Solutions. Safe Communities<\/strong><\/a> effort. In more than two decades, Project ChildSafe has partnered with more than 15,000 local law enforcement agencies in every state and U.S. territory to provide education materials and free firearm safety kits. This includes handing out more than 40 million free gun locking devices. Combined with the locks included in every firearm sold at retail, that number tops 100 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What did Vice President Joe Biden think about this program? He let the truth slip out so he can be taken at his own words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2013, then-Vice President Joe Biden held a White House meeting in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook tragedy. He spoke to then-NSSF CEO Steve Sanetti and referring to NSSF, the president said<\/a>,<\/strong> \u201cYou guys are doing a lot of good things, including the gunlock thing. And this isn\u2019t Joe Biden just blowing smoke. I mean it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to 2021 and current NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi expanded on the program\u2019s successes during a U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hearing<\/a><\/strong> on safe firearm storage. Bartozzi explained, \u201cWe know the program works. In the 22 years that Project ChildSafe has been in existence, we know that fatal [firearm] accidents have decreased by 40 percent,\u201d he said<\/a>.<\/strong> \u201cThere\u2019s a lot that goes into that, but fatal firearm accidents are at the lowest point on record since 1903. We are seeing progress and progress is a good thing \u2013 it means we\u2019re having an impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeated Lies<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Over the past two years, the gun owning community grew by at least\u00a014 million<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0new first-time gun owners. It\u2019s increasingly\u00a0diverse<\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a0with double-digit growth of women and minority gun owners. That\u2019s an inconvenient fact the Biden administration ignores instead of embraces. They choose instead to go soft on criminals and demagogue law-abiding gun owners. They choose to\u00a0politicize<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to punish the firearm industry instead of regulate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In speech<\/a><\/strong> after speech<\/a>,<\/strong> President Biden has repeated the partisan gun control talking points from gun control groups against the firearm industry. His lies, written no doubt by speechwriters, have been fact-checked as false many times. That includes wrongly stating the firearm industry is, \u201cthe only outfit in the country,\u201d with liability immunity<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> to making false claims<\/strong><\/a> about home-built firearms and private gun ownership in the early American colonies. The president\u2019s words have been termed, \u201cwrong<\/a>\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cfalse<\/a>\u201d<\/strong> and even urged<\/a>,<\/strong> \u201che needs to stop making this claim.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real Solutions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Project ChildSafe is an effective and successful firearm safety program. It\u2019s been recently highlighted in cities across the country, including Detroit<\/a>, Albuquerque<\/a><\/strong> and Troy, New York<\/strong><\/a>. It\u2019s just one NSSF program working to make safer communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Don\u2019t Lie for the Other Guy<\/a><\/strong>\u2122 initiative is a partnership between industry, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to prevent illegal firearm straw purchases and warn the public it is a crime punishable by 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operation Secure Store<\/strong><\/a>\u00ae assists firearm retailers to improve security at their locations to deter criminals from stealing firearms. One component of the program matches ATF reward offers up to $5,000 to bring to justice criminals stealing firearms. Since launching the number of burglaries and firearm thefts have been trending down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FixNICS<\/a>\u00ae<\/strong> campaign improves the FBI\u2019s background check system by changing the law in 16 states and in Congress to increase reporting of disqualifying adjudicated mental health records. NSSF increased state submissions by a 266 percent increase since 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSSF also partners with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and Department of Veterans Affairs on efforts to have a \u201c<\/strong>brave conversation<\/strong><\/a>\u201d and reduce the tragedy of death by suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the president wanted to make genuine efforts at reducing criminal and negligent firearm misuse and the resulting tragedies, he could work with the industry that already has a proven track record of success in those areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Larry Keane\u00a0<\/strong>is Senior Vice President of Government and Public Affairs and General Counsel for the\u00a0National Shooting Sports Foundation<\/a>, the firearms industry trade association.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
