Show Notes
Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Gregory Meeks are demanding full details on U.S. exports of semi-automatic weapons, citing concerns that these legal guns are ending up with cartels and fueling violence in the Western Hemisphere. Theyve requested records on every license approved since January 2025, covering semi-automatic rifles, pistols, shotguns, and accessories. Their push is backed by data showing U.S. gun exports make up a significant portion of traced crime guns in Central America and worldwide. Companies like Sturm Ruger and Company and Smith and Wesson Brands are in the spotlight as the Commerce Department is set to respond by April 13th.
