CEOs are tired of being held responsible for gun regulation
Top executives say they've done all they can on gun control and want others to join the effort.
In a CNN interview, Yale professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld revealed that CEOs are frustrated with being the primary advocates for gun control legislation in the US. Despite numerous efforts since 2017, including opposing North Carolina's transgender bathroom law, calling abortion bans "bad for business," and restricting gun sales after mass shootings, corporate leaders feel their actions haven't moved the needle on gun reform. Following the Nashville school shooting in March 2023, major companies remained largely silent, signaling corporate fatigue. Sonnenfeld noted that CEOs have been the most active group on social issues but can't be the sole advocates, citing declining corporate political donations since the 2021 Capitol riot and a desire for broader civic engagement on gun control.
