“The firearm industry and gun owners have true courtroom champions in these attorneys general. They are the vanguard to standing up the past four years of attacks by the Biden-Harris administration against our industry and our Second Amendment rights,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President & General Counsel. “They are the crucial voices in the courts to demonstrate how gun control ‘lawfare’ is abusing rights that belong to the people. NSSF is proud to bring this opportunity to SHOT Show for attendees to hear directly from those defending our freedoms in the courts.”
The 2nd Annual Attorneys General Forum, moderated by NSSF’s Lawrence G. Keane, will be a laid back and interactive discussion with state attorneys general fighting the legal battle initiated and still ongoing by the Biden-Harris administration and other politically-driven attacks against the firearm and ammunition industry and Second Amendment rights. These attorneys general are the leading law enforcement officials in their states and fight back against the wave of “lawfare” brought by special-interest gun control groups that weaponize courts against American civil liberties. The Attorneys General Forum will be held Wednesday, Jan. 22, from 4-5 p.m. at the Venetian Expo, Lido Room 3101A.
More attorneys general may be added to the forum as schedules permit. The 2nd Annual Attorneys Forum is open to all SHOT Show attendees and media. The forum is open to all, but space is limited. Register today!
