Instead, the shift is attributed to a moral or ethical stance against promoting firearms, particularly to minors, driven by a desire to see the gun industry decline.

This video discusses a case where a government contractor is allegedly attempting to extort royalties from a small company, Otter Creek Labs, by claiming patents on 3D-printed suppressor technology.
