I think they should, but firearms manufacturers blacklisting gun-controlling customers, especially state governments, are running a risk. The more manufacturers that participate, the more likely it is that some state attorney general will sue, alleging an anti-trust conspiracy. That could turn out to be cripplingly expensive irrespective of the outcome. Anti-trust is not my area, but my guess is that the outcome is not guaranteed.
Seems to me that's a sword that could swing both ways, if it swings at all. If the first holds true then wouldn't that also make banks/etc... that collaborate with anti-gun orgs to drive gun makers out of business vulnerable to anti-trust suits?
