Smart Tech Challenges Foundation grantee Jonathan Mossberg was quoted in Bloomberg Business in an article about how the gun violence debate is shaping the 2016 presidential election.

“Repeal could have a negative impact on all firearms manufacturers, the established ones and startups,” says Jonathan Mossberg, a scion of the Mossberg shotgun manufacturing family and chief executive of IGun Technology, a developer of digitally equipped firearms. He fears a flurry of frivolous lawsuits that will do nothing to increase safety.

“This nonsense,” he adds, “will not end until people actually take responsibility for their own actions and cease placing the blame on inanimate objects.” Clinton also has tactical campaign reasons to stress the repeal: Senator Sanders supported the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act in deference to gun activists in his home state of Vermont.
