NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel Lawrence G. Keane said of the Fly-In, &#8220;We always welcome the opportunity to speak with our elected representatives to help ensure that the economic contribution of our industry members is understood and that we continue to work on a bipartisan basis to help ensure that our members can continue to engage in lawful commerce, grow their businesses and create even more good-paying jobs here in America.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>httpvh:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=h4Pix2jOsWs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NSSF member company executives were in Washington, D.C., last week for the highly productive seventh annual congressional &#8220;Fly-In.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":25432,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[58],"tags":[463,97],"class_list":["post-29087","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-from-the-industry","tag-national-shooting-sports-foundation","tag-nssf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29087","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29087"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29087\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
