LAWFARE EXAMINED BY JPFO
One of the best summations of a major strategy of the "anti gunners" from Jews For the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO).
Excerpted, but the whole article is worth reading on Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms.

Lawfare practitioners may not care if they win their cases, because even one who is innocent before the law can succumb to the legal process itself.
The biggest cut is the expense of litigation. The lengthier and more complex the proceedings, the more likely the defendant will be unable to sustain a defense.
Another is reputational harm from accusations of wrongdoing, no matter how baseless, particularly if the media and public officials amplify the plaintiff's case.
A third cut is the embarrassment or competitive disadvantage of having one's private or business affairs aired in court. At the "discovery" phase of litigation, plaintiffs can demand, and courts can order, the release of records or communications never meant for public disclosure. Once they enter the record or get leaked to the media, they can be distorted, misreported or otherwise used against the defendant.
Yet a fourth cut is the time, effort and travel expended on litigation. Defendants can be forced to spend hours, days or weeks away from their families, businesses or jobs in meetings, depositions and courtrooms. These opportunity costs are unrecoverable.
Lawfare that involves multiple plaintiffs from multiple jurisdictions ganging up on the same target is especially devastating.
