In October 1997, senior executives from Smith & Wesson (SWHC), Glock, and
other handgun manufacturers trooped to the White House Rose Garden for a
photo op with Bill Clinton—a gesture of cooperation with a Democratic
president unimaginable today. Feldman, then the executive director of a
trade group called the American Shooting Sports Council, had orchestrated
the televised event. Clinton praised the gun companies for volunteering to
ship a trigger lock with every handgun. The manufacturers did so as an
alternative to a proposed federal lock mandate. Before the ceremony, Feldman
joked with Clinton that there would be hell to pay from the NRA: “I want
to thank you, Mr. President,” Feldman recalls saying, “for offering to
find me a spot in the federal witness protection program.” Clinton chuckled。
... In 1998 and 1999, gun control activists working with big-city mayors and
the Clinton administration launched a series of lawsuits against the
industry en masse—an attempt to imitate earlier litigation against
cigarette manufacturers. While the much larger tobacco companies could
afford to settle (ultimately for $246 billion to be paid over a quarter-
century), the U.S. gun industry at the time had total annual sales of only
about $1.3 billion. Defense lawyer fees alone threatened some firearm
companies’ financial viability. | C*******r
