“This action has raised concern about a possible extralegal attempt by the Biden Administration to harm the domestic firearms manufacturing industry in pursuit of an anti-firearm agenda by starving it of access to international markets for at least 90 days, perhaps indefinitely,” … Isn’t this the very intent of this action by the Biden admin?
The House Oversight and Accountability Committee is requesting information on the Department of Commerce’s 90-day pause on issuing new export licenses for certain firearms and ammunition.
In a letter dated Tuesday to Commerce Sec. Gina Raimondo, Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) criticized the department for targeting the firearms industry and questioned whether the department was acting on the “political whims of a radical anti-firearm administration.”
“This action has raised concern about a possible extralegal attempt by the Biden Administration to harm the domestic firearms manufacturing industry in pursuit of an anti-firearm agenda by starving it of access to international markets for at least 90 days, perhaps indefinitely,” Comer wrote in his letter.
Comer specifically took issue with the department’s claim that the purpose of the 90-day pause would be “to more effectively assess and mitigate risk of firearms being diverted to entities or activities that promote regional instability, violate human rights, or fuel criminal activities.”
