Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives are demanding testimony from gun company officials about the manufacture of their products as part of a congressional investigation of a weapon's role in a mass shooting carried out by a criminal in Chicago.

NBC reports the House Oversight Committee has confirmed in a statement that it subpoenaed Smith & Wesson Brands Inc.

The Democrat majority on the committee is demanding information on the sale of AR-15 style firearms.

The action came after the company's chief declined to appear before the lawmakers to face accusations they might wish to level.

The CEOs need to tell the Fools on the Hill to blow it out their ying yangs. When the commie RATS start throwing murderers in prison, we can start talking about guns. Until then, the Fools on the Hill can STFU.

"weapon's role in mass shooting carried out by criminals"

That's easy. The same role as the car manufacturer who built the vehicle the killer used to arrive at the scene of the crime.

How about the perp's clothing manufacturer, while we're at it?

Most assaults and murders are committed using knives and blunt objects, ‘weapons of opportunity’.

So, they should be talking to manufactures of kitchen knives, baseball bats and lamps.

He should just exercise his right to not speak to the government. They can call him up but not force him to speak.

Saying anything can only give them more fuel.

98% OF MASS-SHOOTINGS OCCUR IN GUN-FREE ZONES

REPEAL JOE BIDEN'S GUN-FREE SCHOOL ZONE ACT OF 1990

Yup. The sneaky bast-tuds will misrepresent anything they learn and for the most part, the public will buy it. It will just add to their messaging guide:

So when are the Demoncrats ... I mean Democrats going to demand the CEO of the company that made that criminal SUV that ran over folks in Minneapolis answer for it’s crime?

“An SUV rammed into protesters in Minneapolis, killing one and injuring another”

Not the driver’s fault?
