AMTA represent the Airgun Manufacturers. They therefore may defend the industry but not necessarily the sport.

Tell me, how can AMTA have an airgun industry at all, if there isn't a sport to sustain it?

What hurts the sport, hurts the industry. The more secure the sport, the more secure the industry that sport sustains.

AMTA will ALWAYS defend the sport of airgun shooting. It always has and that will never change.
