John— The NRA has long been the most recognizable face of the gun industry, but [ [link removed] ]thanks to numerous scandals, it hasn’t been the leading force of the gun lobby for years. Instead, a lesser-known organization has stepped up to the plate: the [ [link removed] ]National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF).  The NSSF is essentially the gun industry—which makes it responsible for this country’s gun violence epidemic. As the national trade association for gun manufacturers and sellers, the NSSF wields a great deal of influence. But not many people outside the industry have ever heard of it. We’re here to change that. Here’s what you need to know about the NSSF: * It’s [ [link removed] ]funded by firearm executives. * It has ties to extremist groups and funds right-wing politicians, taking on [ [link removed] ]the same positions as the NRA. * It uses [ [link removed] ]mass shootings like Sandy Hook and Uvalde to push its dangerous <span style="font-family:sans-serif">“</span>guns everywhere<span style="font-family:sans-serif">”</span> agenda. * It holds sway over the [ [link removed] ]federal agency that oversees the gun industry.

The NSSF relies on hatred and division in our society to sell guns and
assault weapons, and it’s working. In fact, the NSSF is so focused on
profits that it ignores the fact that more than a hundred Americans die
from gun violence every day.

The first step to ending our nation’s gun violence epidemic is
understanding the problem. The NSSF is at the root of this crisis, and we
must make sure more Americans know what it is and how we can stop it—and
that’s what Giffords is fighting to do. [ [link removed] ]Read more about the NSSF’s
dangerous behavior and our efforts to hold it accountable. 

All my best,
Lindsay
