The companies whose executives were being honored included the historic gun company Mossberg; the big ammunition company Vista, which has lately consolidated many smaller ammunition companies under its umbrella; and the US arm of Brazil-based weapons company Taurus. Taurus is now owned by the ammunitions giant CBC, which produces more than 1. Taurus has also been under investigation for illegal arms trading to factions in the Yemen civil war. When I started writing about the business of guns, I thought of companies like Colt, Remington, and Glock as gun makers.
Now, I think of them as the small arms industry. Since the end of the Cold War, the small percentage of Americans who are still actively buying guns and sometimes many guns , are one of their most important markets. There are an estimated million guns in America. Military-style weapons account for about a third of the present-day gun market, and most experts say they are the most profitable third. The damn things never wear out.
Throw some fear into the mix, and the selling gets that much easier. In the inner conference room, LaPierre himself moved through the big-donor, small arms crowd, stoop-shouldered, shaking any hand in reach, followed by a man who looked like a bodyguard. I took notes on my iPhone. I made my way alone into the stadium to hear the politicians speak and found a seat behind a group called Bikers for Trump, next to a clean-cut, youngish man and his son.
Latchkey kids
The smell of nacho cheese trays wafted through the air. The lights were tinged red, for patriotic blood, I guess. The NRA is known for its messaging expertise, which, advertising experts say , likely is based on sophisticated algorithms that tee up images most likely to provoke fear among the target audience of aging white men. Strong women, like Hillary Clinton, and people of color, like Cory Booker, feature often as villains and threats. The man next to me could hardly contain his excitement, his mouth curling into a downward grimace as he pulled out his camera while Trump took to the stage.

They cheered when Trump described immigrants who wanted to be Americans being turned away. They cheered when Trump suggested , in the midst of evidence of unprovoked police shootings of black men, that police should be above the law. Very quickly. They cheered when Trump was cruel to the crowd itself. The majority stuck with him, as did the plus member board of directors.
When the room got remarkably cold, as the executives were trying to end the debate, one of them offered me his jacket.
Is gun control really about people control?
On Sunday, I walked to one of the adjacent hotels. The car bay was filled with black SUVs, their windows tinted.

I passed a man wearing an Israeli flag lapel pin, and sat down at the hotel bar next to someone speaking Russian on the phone. A young man around the corner from me confided he was saving money to buy his 10th machine gun—this time, a belt-fed one. He thought he might need it if the US Army became a tool of an authoritarian regime. He was aggravated that there was a waiting period.
He was the father of two children. Our gun laws, I pointed out, enable patriots like himself to arm themselves, but also allow a small number of crazy people to buy weapons. He thanked me for my respectful questions, and we agreed that keeping the lines of communication open was vital. I think he knew I was a reporter. We are who we are. In a pluralistic nation, we just have to live together. It was about the America that is being destroyed from the inside out.
Gun Control Topic Overview
This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron. Prompted by the mass shootings this summer in El Paso and in Dayton, Ohio, chief executives, including those from Levi Strauss, Twitter and Uber, wrote to the Senate urging stricter background checks and laws to prevent people who pose a threat from buying guns.
The number of signatures continues to grow. He told the participants around the table why he signed the letter. The vast majority of Americans want something to happen. But what of Citigroup, which does not underwrite gun manufacturers like other global banks do, and which has no obvious connection to the gun violence epidemic? The banking company, according to Edward Skyler, the vice president of global public affairs, has employees in Florida and in Las Vegas who were affected by mass shootings there.
They asked Citigroup to take a stand. A little more than a month after the shooting in Parkland, Citigroup said it would require retail clients not to sell firearms to customers who had not passed a background check or who were under It also barred the sale of bump stocks and high-capacity magazines. Skyler told the group. Dianna Muller, a former police officer from Tulsa, Okla. Muller said, adding that she did not trust the government to allow law-abiding owners to keep their guns.
Gelles told the participants. As the only black woman in the group, she pleaded for the corporations not to ignore communities of color. The moral compass of men and women in America should be about saving lives. The Rev.
Jeffrey L. Brown founded a national faith and community-based organization in Boston, Rebuilding Every Community Around Peace, that works to reduce gang violence.

He said company leaders needed first to understand the systemic problems in the inner city — poverty, housing and failures of education — that have led to gun violence. According to Kathryn Yontef, the director of corporate initiatives for Everytown for Gun Safety , the issue is personal: 58 percent of people in the United States say they or somebody they love has been affected by gun violence. Every day, people in this country are killed by guns.
She said corporations needed to take a stand, in the least by offering employee assistance.

He also did not want companies imposing morality on his consumer habits. Cheng said. Manuel Oliver , who lost his teenage son, Joaquin, in the Parkland school shooting, interrupted him sharply. I mean, I can help you to solve that, and I wish you could help me to solve mine. The tension escalated. Cheng, who is gay, said he wanted to be able to defend himself as a member of a group often targeted by hate.
