In response to the Trump administration’s repeal on banning the sale of gun suppressors, better known as silencers, to foreign countries, House Democrats have begun an investigation into the July 10 decision.
Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.), chairman of the Subcommittee on National Security, requested documents related to the new policy, saying in a letter to the Director Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Russell Vought that the committee is “deeply concerned” that a White House official motivated by personal gain led the charge to undo the ban.
