In a breakthrough in our efforts to reduce gun violence and prevent accidental shootings, Smith & Wesson, the nation’s largest gun manufacturer, on Friday agreed to implement comprehensive safety and distribution reforms.
This agreement is the culmination of a collaborative effort by the Clinton administration, states that have threatened to bring lawsuits against the gun industry and the counties and cities, such as Los Angeles, that already have filed suit. We joined forces to demand fundamental changes in the way guns are designed, distributed and advertised. This agreement will serve as a model for the gun industry and as the standard for future settlements.
