Gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson called out democrat lawmakers and gun control activists for using gun manufacturing companies as scapegoats for the “crisis of violence” that has rocked America. The gun manufacturer accused the faction of only trying to demonize guns and lawful gun owners to cover for their failed policies that have led to surging crime rates.
Joe Biden has made gun control a prodigy on his bucket list. Several times, Biden has called to ban certain semi-automatic rifles and “high-capacity” magazines after mass shooting events.
Furthermore, the democrats also held a meeting in June outside the Smith & Wesson headquarters in Springfield, Massachusetts. Led by Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey, they had called for even stricter gun control, explicitly targeting Smith and Wesson.
The senator said, “More and more mass shooters murder more and more Americans with these assault weapons in hand. The AR-15 style assault weapons made right here at Smith and Wesson were used in mass shootings.“
