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

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.
