Apparently the House of Representatives is looking into the role gun manufacturers play in the 'gun violence' problem.
The reception the manufactures will face if they decide to testify in front of the committee might be gleaned from these two quotes. The bold emphasis is my own doing.
There are a myriad of problems facing this country and IMhO this committee is just virtue signaling and wasting time, money and efforts when they could possibly be doing something contructive to help their constituents AND THEY ARE VERY MUCH AWARE OF THIS!!!
Does anybody think the firearms manufacturers should show up to testify?
Maybe they should to get their viewpoint out to the public but it's obvious what the tone of the committee is.

The House Oversight and Reform Committee on Wednesday requested testimony from executives at three major gun manufacturers, Daniel Defense, S&W and Ruger, at a hearing later this month as part of the panel’s investigation into the [firearms] industry.

“As the chief executive officer of a major firearms manufacturer that sells millions of assault weapons, your testimony is crucial to understand why your company continues to sell and market these weapons to civilians, what steps your company plans to take to protect the public and what additional reforms are needed to prevent further deaths from your products,” Committee Chair Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) wrote in the letters, which the committee released publicly on Thursday.
In the new round of letters sent Wednesday, first reported by The Washington Post, Maloney told the three executives that the information they provided “heightened the committee’s concern” that the manufacturers were continuing to profit from the sale and marketing of “weapons of war” despite their harm.
