Ruger

Ballard Partners has signed on gunmaker Sturm, Ruger & Co to advocate in support of Second Amendment issues.

SR&C, which recently cut 100 manufacturing jobs, shifted its headquarters from Connecticut to more gun-friendly North Carolina, as of Jan. 1.

Former Florida Republican Congressman Jeff Miller is part of SR&C’s lobbying team. He chairs Ballard’s veterans practice group.

He’s joined by Brian Ballard and Dan McFaul, who served as chief of staff to Miller and ex-Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz.
