Hi–
While gun companies rake in billions each year profiting from the gun violence crisis, we're paying with our lives.
Specifically, Smith & Wesson's assault weapons have been used in multiple high-profile mass shootings, including Aurora, Parkland, San Bernardino, and Highland Park, all while profiting hundreds of millions of dollars. In fact, they made more than $800 million in revenue in 2022 alone.
Despite this, Smith & Wesson publicly admitted it does not track the crimes or deaths caused by its firearms. Instead, CEO Mark Smith claims politicians and the media are responsible for the surge in gun violence happening across the country.
Learn how gun manufacturers like Smith & Wesson have shirked responsibility for their role in the gun violence crisis for YEARS and profited from violence.
Gun manufacturers know that their killer business isn't welcome in states with strong gun safety laws. That's why this weekend Smith & Wesson is celebrating relocating its headquarters from Massachusetts to Tennessee, citing a Massachusetts bill that would have made it difficult to make and sell assault weapons.
But we're not going to let business continue as usual—not in Tennessee, not in Massachusetts, or anywhere else.
Find out more about the gun industry's role in our gun violence crisis and what we can do to hold bad actors like Smith & Wesson accountable on "The Smoking Gun."
Thanks for being in this fight,
