Do Not Stand Idly By
Our goals are moderate, achievable, and urgently needed.
Despite the political stalemate over guns in America, Metro IAF believes it is possible to:
- Significantly reduce the number of firearms-related deaths, injuries and crimes in America.
- Safeguard the ability of law-abiding Americans to own firearms for personal use.
- Modernize and stabilize the U.S. gun industry.
Through market action, and limited legislative action, we believe the following changes in the gun industry should be pursued by all parties:
- Dealer Networks That Manufacturers Can Be Proud Of
- Smarter, Safer Guns
