    | During the Second Amendment Foundation’s annual gun rights policy conference in Tamp, Florida last weekend, Wilson revealed he was denied membership to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms industry’s largest trade group, for reasons he is unsure of.
 
 “We’ve been controversial for so long to the point it’s normalized,” Wilson told Guns.com in an earlier interview. “Did Defense Distributed really do anything that is that controversial — especially within the firearms industry and the gun movement? No. They know who we are, they know who we represent. We’re mainline people. We’re represented by people like SAF in the courts. We represent your right to bear arms, we didn’t do anything irresponsibly.”

    | Contrary to popular belief, the NRA is not "The Gun Lobby", focused on increasing profits for the "Evil Gun Industry", that's NSSF's job. 
 Defense Distributed's business model is based on helping DIYers bypass the gun industry. It's not surprising that the NSSF is not on their side.
