The Trump Administration has officially published a new proposal<\/a> that would allow American firearms companies to export their products more easily.<\/p>\n

The rule would transfer oversight of consumer gun exports from the State Department to the Commerce Department, saving gun companies the time and costs associated with acquiring a State Department license. Products that are \u201cwidely available in retail outlets\u201d would move to the jurisdiction of Commerce, while products that are \u201cinherently for military end use\u201d would remain under State.<\/p>\n

Lawrence Keane of the National Shooting Sports Foundation called<\/a> the proposal \u201ca significant positive development for the industry that will allow members to reduce costs and compete in the global marketplace more effectively, all while not in any way hindering national security.\u201d<\/p>\n

Right now, Ruger and Smith & Wesson generate less than five percent of their revenue via sales outside the U.S., according to the New York Times<\/a>. But Keane believes that once the new regs are in place, exports for these companies could jump as much as 20 percent.<\/p>\n

Whether Ruger and Smith can sell these exports in foreign markets is a different question. Restrictive gun ownership laws in other countries also restrict gun sales, and it isn\u2019t clear American companies have a competitive advantage over industry giants like Glock, Heckler & Koch, and Beretta.<\/p>\n

Jurgen Brauer, the chief economist of the Small Arms Analytics research group, told the Times that he doesn\u2019t predict the new regs increasing the sales of American manufacturers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t see a competitive advantage for U.S. manufactured arms abroad,\u201d he said. \u201cLooking purely at quality, reliability, reputation and price point, what is it that these manufacturers see to make them believe a U.S. weapon would stand out in the foreign market?\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, American companies have successfully competed with foreign manufacturers for years, and some offer products that aren\u2019t available anywhere else.<\/p>\n

The proposed rule was first considered under the Obama Administration in 2012, but was quickly scrapped in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre. Kevin Wolf, an assistant secretary of Commerce who led the development of the new export rules, told the Times they abandoned the measure because it wasn\u2019t \u201coptically the right time to start discussing guns.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the rule\u2019s origins, the anti-gun lobby has come out in opposition. Most cite concerns about weapons traffickers more easily acquiring firearms under the new rule, but Connecticut Representative Elizabeth Esty revealed the lobby\u2019s true motivation when she said on Wednesday, \u201cThis is a national security and diplomacy question, but moving it to Commerce makes it an economic promotion of an industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even though the rule wouldn\u2019t change domestic firearms policy, it represents a step backward in the anti-gun campaign to marginalize American gun owners and manufacturers. No promotion, economic or otherwise, is acceptable to such interests.<\/p>\n
