SHOT Show 2024 marks the 13th time Breitbart News has attended the show, and when we spoke with attendees, they all agreed that the show was full of energy and vibrancy. Many first-time attendees said they were shocked to see not only how many new products will be released in 2024, but also how vast the firearms industry as a whole is.
The SHOT Show allows retailers, wholesalers, and distributors to meet in person with manufacturers, often company owners, to discuss details about new products. This also includes new products that are still in the promotional stage.

I was able to spend some time at Tower Firearms. , XS Sights, Springfield Armory, Taran Tactical Innovations, Henry Replying Rifles, North American Arms, Palmetto State Armory, and more. We heard Governor Joe Lombardo (R-NV) discuss his support for the Second Amendment in Nevada, and Governor Mark Gordon (R-WY) discuss his gun control efforts in Wyoming. , Gov. Jim Pillen (R-Nebraska) emphasized his support for allowing teachers to be armed in Nebraska.
We also heard from the government. Brad Little (R-Idaho) and Greg Gianforte (R-Montana) are both determined to defend the Second Amendment rights of residents in their respective states.
