Leadership's personal and public distance from Trump and the MAGA platform heavily influences the company's perceived alignment.
The company has collaborated with and supported initiatives led by Everytown for Gun Safety, a non-profit founded by Michael Bloomberg that advocates for gun control.
Notes: This partnership is a frequent point of contention for MAGA supporters.

The company hired a lobbying firm (Glover Park Group) specifically to advocate for 'common-sense gun control' in Washington D.C. following its internal policy changes.
Notes: This marked a shift from retail operations to active political advocacy.
Active lobbying for gun control is a direct political action against a core MAGA policy priority.
