If you work in the firearms and ammunition industry—especially in the import/export space—you’ve probably heard of the FAIR Trade Group. And if you haven’t, now’s the time to pay attention.
FAIR (Firearms and Ammunition Import/Export Roundtable) has quietly, steadily been one of the most important organizations protecting the rights and business operations of companies like ours. Since the 1990s, they’ve worked hand-in-hand with federal agencies—including ATF, CBP, and the State Department—to simplify and clarify regulations, reduce red tape, and give our industry a voice in how we’re governed.
At Arsenal Inc., we’ve been proud members and board participants of FAIR for nearly two decades. And we’re not alone—some of the most respected manufacturers, importers, and legal experts in the firearms world are part of this group. FAIR doesn’t chase headlines, but they get results. Their work behind the scenes makes a very real difference for companies that deal with licensing, forms, international shipments, and compliance.
Coming Up in June: The 2025 Firearms and Ammunition Compliance Conference
If you’re in this space, this is the event you don’t want to miss.
The 2025 Firearms and Ammunition Compliance Conference is happening June 2–3 at the Westin Arlington in Virginia. It’s co-hosted with FRAC and brings together ATF officials, compliance specialists, manufacturers, importers, and legal professionals from across the country.
Expect practical, real-world sessions on:
- ATF eForms and licensing
- NFA Division updates
- Self-compliance strategies
- Import/export documentation and regulation trends
You’ll also hear directly from ATF Chief Counsel Robert Leider and other senior officials who help shape the policies we all have to follow.
Why FAIR Matters
Let’s be honest: compliance is complex, and it’s only getting more complicated. You can’t afford to be in the dark or reactive. You need reliable information, proactive guidance, and real-world support.
That’s what FAIR provides—and it’s why Arsenal Inc. has stayed committed to the organization for almost 20 years.
If you’re serious about staying compliant and protecting your business, now’s the time to get involved:
🔹 Join FAIR – Support the organization that supports our industry

🔹 Attend the 2025 Conference – Hear directly from regulators and experts in the field
We’ll be there in June. We hope to see you too.
