NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the firearm industry trade association, wholeheartedly supports Ohio state Representative Scott Wiggam’s introduction of House Bill 297[3], the Firearm Industry Nondiscrimination (FIND) Act. This crucial legislation would stop corporations from discriminating against the firearm and ammunition industry and diminishing the Second Amendment. “The legislation protects firearm and ammunition businesses from being canceled by ‘woke’ activists who would unfairly and unlawfully discriminate against an entire industry simply because they disagree with Americans exercising their constitutional rights,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “We have witnessed the highest levels of government abusing their authority to discriminate against the firearm industry when the Obama administration and Department of Justice began Operation Chokepoint to deny services to the firearm industry. That discriminatory practice continues by big corporations and NSSF is grateful for Representative Wiggam’s leadership to end it in Ohio.” Ohio’s Firearm Industry Nondiscrimination (FIND) Act would protect the Second Amendment rights of Ohioans by requiring that government contracts include verification that the company seeking the contract does not have discriminatory policies against the firearm industry and will not discriminate against the firearm industry for the duration of the contract. Ohio would join Georgia and Wyoming, which enacted their own versions of the FIND Act, to end discrimination
