Three days after 19 children and two adults were murdered by a gunman at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, the House Committee on Oversight and Reform announced it had asked five gun manufacturers for data about the production and sale of semi-automatic weapons.

Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) issued letters to Bushmaster Firearms Industries, Daniel Defense, Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson Brands, and Strum, Ruger & Company on Friday, accusing them of "aggressively" marketing assault weapons to the general public, despite "strong public support for an assault-weapon ban."

"I am deeply concerned that gun manufacturers continue to profit from the sale of weapons of war, including the AR-15- style assault rifle that a white supremacist used to murder ten people last week in Buffalo, New York, and the AR-15-style assault rifle that was reportedly used this week in the massacre of at least 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas," Maloney wrote.

"Despite decades of rising gun deaths and mass murderers using assault weapons, your company has continued to market assault weapons to civilians, reaping a profit from the deaths of innocent Americans."

Specifically, the panel wants the manufacturers to reveal their "annual gross revenue and profit" from semi-automatic rifle sales; the number of semi-automatic weapons sold to distributors, retailers, consumers and government agencies; and the amount the companies have spent on advertising and marketing semi-automatic rifles all within the past decade.

Democrats would like nothing more than to remove the federal protection from gun manufacturers so they can be sued out of existence. Then they don't even need to ban anything. No one will be able to buy a gun.

Ridiculous, you can't hold a manufacturer responsible if someone is harmed by their product when not used for its intended purpose.

I realize guns are designed to kill but only in a legal manner. (self-defense, hunting)

They don't care. They will try to grind them down in futile litigation costs, all paid for by major gun control deep pockets.

Its disturbing and I feel like this was settled law on a lot of different fronts.

People forget that the law is supposed to be predictable.

You start messing around with fundamental concepts like this is a big mistake.

Waiving liability to the drug companies for Covid vaccines worked to our detriment.

Adding liability to gun companies for criminal acts committed by third parties will be used to completely disarm the public and stop the sale of manufactured small arms to the public. They'll drive them out of business and make them impossible to insure and impossible to finance.

This will be used to stop the sale to the public of small arms and ammunition.

Hell, they might require gun owners to carry liability insurance. They'd regulate the insurance contract where it would make it unaffordable for most people to have guns.

If they cram this through, its game over.

You've **** canned a fundamental right and you've disarmed the public by proxy.

The same way people went along with the covid narrative, they'll go along with this.

Theres a huge number of people out there that will do whatever the herd looks like its gonna do.

We saw this with covid. People get caught up in the hype.

As soon as they convince the average soccer mom to ban guns from the house its all over.

Thats all you had to do with covid and thats whats probably gonna happen here.

They are duplicating the summer of Floyd protests. It was covid and BLM. Thats all anybody cared about. It was free reign, no holds barred so long as it was associated with one of those two things. Anything could be justified.

Now you got the Roe v Wade and the gun control issue. Its a coordinated attack on fundamental rights.

We've never seen this level of general instability and unpredictability.

So what will they do when they target all the manufactures and they have nobody to make weapons to ship to Ukraine?

Then again Ukraine is old news. Dems have moved the goal post.

They'll be a few companies that will make small arms for sale to government. Essentially defense contractors. No sale to the general public.

They are not gonna ban guns. They are gonna ban sale to the public.

Then they are gonna ban guns later, incrementally by adding taxes, fees and insurance requirements.

They'll deny gun related business access to banking and finance industries.

Money from the sale of guns wont be able to pass through the banking system.

How do they "aggressively" market these firearms? Do the gun manufacturers pay these emotional and illogical Democrats to go out and threaten bans and such?

They are the gun manufacturers best salesman, but they are too stupid to realize it…

They have this all ready to go.
They can then attack guns etc and everyone loses track of the real problem which is THEM!

This is scary. The Dems/Libs are looking to turn the entire justice system upside down. If they make it where you can sue gun companies for an illegal use of a firearm then people will be able to sue car companies and alcohol companies for drunk drivers causing accidents. Power tool companies for accidents with their tools. They will sue the Electric Company for someone putting a fork into a wall receptable and getting electrocuted.

Every company in the US will be open for lawsuit anytime an idiot gets hurt by their product.. This would destroy capitalism.

Sadly almost half the people in the country would fully support this happening.
