Liberty Safe, which calls itself “America’s #1 heavy-duty home and gun safe manufacturer,” came under intense criticism from gun owners and conservative commentators this week after it acknowledged that it had voluntarily given the F.B.I.

among many conservatives, who sharply questioned Liberty Safe’s commitment to protect their firearms from federal agents.
Here’s what we know about the search, part of a Jan. 6 case.
