2014 NSSF Congressional Fly-In

NSSF member company executives were in Washington, D.C., last week for the highly productive seventh annual congressional “Fly-In.” The firearms and ammunition industry executives met with members of both houses of Congress to discuss such matters as the $37.7 billion national economic impact of the firearms industry, the need for revenue-neutral measures to allow the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to reduce the currently lengthy backlogs in form-processing times, and the opportunity to improve the provision of safety information and gun locks through law enforcement agencies across the country by re-starting funding of Project ChildSafe. NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel Lawrence G. Keane said of the Fly-In, “We always welcome the opportunity to speak with our elected representatives to help ensure that the economic contribution of our industry members is understood and that we continue to work on a bipartisan basis to help ensure that our members can continue to engage in lawful commerce, grow their businesses and create even more good-paying jobs here in America.”
