House Republicans demanded Tuesday that the Biden administration revoke a surprise policy that shuts down the firearms industry's ability to export guns to civilians around much of the globe, calling the move a 'ridiculous' attempt to cripple America's gun makers.

Do you agree with the decision to send weapons, soldier and ships to the Middle East as a deterrent in the Israel-Hamas war?

“The Biden administration has made undermining the Second Amendment a hobby, even trying to defund popular shooting and archery programs in our schools,” Mr. Green told The Washington Times. “Now, this administration is trying to cripple the American firearm industry by halting their exportsThis is unacceptable at best, if not illegal.”

The lawmakers said the sweeping limit on exports was “unprecedented,” and was issued without giving the public the usual comment period to weigh in. Among their list of questions for Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo was what sort of notice was given to Congress before the policy, who in the gun control movement was consulted, and what were the specific concerns that gave rise to the policy.

The result, according to Giffords, one of the major gun control outfits, is that exports of semiautomatic pistols more than doubled in the immediate aftermath of the Trump change.
