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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
