Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-N.Y.), the committee’s chairwoman, on Wednesday sent letters to Marty Daniel, the CEO of Daniel Defense, Mark Smith, the president and CEO of Smith & Wesson Brands, and Christopher Killoy, the president and CEO of Sturm, Ruger & Co., requesting testimony as a part of a second hearing hosted by the committee examining the firearms industry. Daniel Defense is the maker of the DDM4 rifle the gunman used to kill 19 children and two adults at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Tex., and a shooter on Monday used a Smith & Wesson M&P semiautomatic rifle to kill at least seven people and wound dozens of others during a July Fourth parade in Highland Park, Ill. The July 20 hearing comes after Maloney launched an investigation into gun manufacturers in May. Maloney requested information from five manufacturers regarding the making, sale and marketing of deadly weapons used in mass shootings that were purchased legally and used by the gunmen responsible for the carnage in Uvalde, Highland Park and Buffalo. Maloney requested each company’s gross revenue and profit from sales of semiautomatic rifles based on AR-15-style guns, annual spending on advertising and marketing of these rifles, annual spending on federal and state lobbying, and funding provided to the National Rifle Association. Maloney cites new financial information that has been provided to the committee so far as reason for the CEOs to appear. “The information you provided has heightened the Committee’s concern that your company is continuing to profit from the sale and marketing of weapons of war to civilians despite the harm these weapons cause, is failing to track instances or patterns where your products are used in crimes, and is failing to take other reasonable precautions to limit injuries and deaths caused by your firearms,” Maloney wrote in a letter to Killoy, provided to The Washington Post.
They're getting no traction with the January 6 show trial, so now they'll try a different show trial.
The only thing congress is good for nowadays is show trials. Are they going to call up abortion clinic admins and ask them how many babies they have the killed.
I'm pretty sure none of them would do it, but I would LOVE to see one (or more) of these CEOs just get up and walk out as soon as Schumer or Swalwell or whoever get into one of their finger waving tirades.
It would make better theater for one or more of them to take out a newspaper and start reading it. (Better if they could find one with an unflattering headline about some prominent democrat.)
Does The Epoch Times have a print version?
Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".
Edit: Actually, if this passes, it sounds like I'll probably lose my non-resident permit.
Wow, I didn't think any Oregon sheriffs were issuing a non-resident permit any more. This comes up periodically on the Washington fora and I think Douglas county may have been the only ones doing so recently.
So I just posted on a couple of Washington gun boards, and the consensus is that no one currently in Oregon is issuing a permit to Washington residents.
If you are interested in obtaining an Oregon Concealed Handgun License from the Malheur County Sheriffs Office you must live in Malheur County, Idaho or Nevada and meet all Oregon legislative requirements.
I doubt it. Neo-nazis have been blaming jews for control for years.
If the Supreme Court starts overturning AW bans... what will the Democrats start doing to replace them? Adding them to the NFA? Requiring them to be stored in safes? Obscene licensing requirements? The Supremes have shown zero interest in stopping licensing requirements.I don't see how this is going to end.
Which licensing requirements? Do you mean tax stamps requirements?
Holy hell. It's like giving a loaded gun to a chimpanzee...
the last thing you need is rabies. You're already angry enough as it is.OTOH, there wouldn't be a tweeker left in Georgia...
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! AND THROW SOME STEAK ON THE GRILL!
I am talking about gun licensing in general...The Supreme Court appears to be okay with gun licensing (for a "right" that is supposedly not second class).Some licensing requirements right now are obscene; for example to get a permit to own a pistol in New York is horrid.
