Corporate gun politics break down into the rights, responsibilities and restrictions of a) corporations participating in the manufacture and commerce of gun, b) corporations employing guns for security services, either internally for safeguarding corporate personnel and property, or offered as a commercial security service to other parties, or c) employee, customer and visitor policies. Therefore, gun politics of corporations cover myriad classes. Lobbying by a gun manufacturer is very different than a corporation considering liability of its employees actions in the case of firearms possession or use while on the job, and likewise might result in two very different political stances. Corporations might even have varying politics within consortia, blocs and sectors of industry. As a simple example of corporate gun politics, it is against the visitor code of conduct to bring a firearm onto the premises of the Seattle Times, or even have one in a vehicle, unless you are a member of law enforcement. This is a very different class of gun politics, than a lobbyist for a gun manufacturer attempting to change liability laws, win a government weapons procurement contract or gain approval for overseas sale or manufacturer of their products.

“The generation of women before us who rushed to fill the corporate ranks altered our expectations of what working motherhood could be, tempered our ambition, and exploded the supermom myth many of us held dear.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western World. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity—much less dissent.”
