The U.S. House Oversight Committee has called on the chief executives of three gunmakers to testify on July 20 as part of its investigation into the firearms industry following a wave of high-profile mass shootings, the panel said on Thursday.

The CEOs of Smith & Wesson Brands, Sturm, Ruger & Co as well as privately held Daniel Defense were sent letters on Wednesday requesting their appearance, the Washington Post reported.

Representatives of the gun manufacturers could not be immediately reached for comment on the House's request.

The panel, in publicly announcing the request in a Twitter post, cited Monday's mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois in which a lone alleged gunman killed at least seven people and wounded dozens of others using a high-powered rifle.

Last month, lawmakers on the panel heard from victims and relatives of mass shootings in May at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and a grocery store in Buffalo, New York.

The oversight panel has also asked five gunmakers for manufacturing, marketing and sales data.

Both were reported by the MSM, but there were two rifles, he dropped one as he was leaving, which was said to be the M&P, so it's possible the second was the Kel Tec.  Apparently his net worth was like 100k, so without bills that wold be plenty to buy a few weapons with and the bullets feed them.

I've also heard a model 700 Remington and a Glock 43x in the mix.

It's frustrating to see and hear the
firearms get blamed for what these
freaks do, and nobody wants to say
that they should have been in a
mental institution and not running
around loose and free, maybe next
to you at the grocery store check
out line, or at the park where you
take your kids

So then, what do you suggest?

Send them all to Mexico. Dump our trash on them for awhile.

So what is this? A move to hold gun manufactures liable for POS punks that use a firearm to kill people?  The Biden regime would love to hold gun manufactures liable. Its been attempted in the past. Ruger, S&W, and Danial Defense all make very good firearms.  Some of the very best. They and other firearm companies probably make a better and more reliable product than any other companies products.
