By Larry Keane<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was an unprecedented decision when the Commerce Department\u2019s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) announced<\/a><\/strong> it was \u201cpausing\u201d all new firearm export licenses to most countries for 90 days. The consequential edict was \u201cmade public\u201d only through an inconspicuous update to the Frequently Asked Questions page listed on the bottom of the BIS website on a late Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All appearances point to it being another example of the Biden administration\u2019s hyper focused attacks on the lawful firearm industry and ceding to the whims of gun control activists. Needless to say, the administration has been stonewalling Members of Congress attempting to get answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee Subcommittee on Oversight and Accountability held a hearing to do just that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pressing for Answers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Subcommittee on Oversight and Accountability is chaired by Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.), a fourth-term congressman who served in the U.S. Army as an explosive ordnance disposal technician. He lost both legs after stepping on an improvised explosive device (IED) in Kandahar, Afghanistan. During his opening remarks, Chairman Mast reminded the BIS witnesses what their mission is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Bureau of Industry and Security has a duty to set and enforce rules that protect American national security under the Export Control Reform Act of 2018,\u201d Rep. Mast remarked. \u201cBut under the Biden administration\u2019s leadership, there have been places where they have not executed this mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congressman Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) used time to ask witnesses about the unprecedented pause that pulled the rug out from under lawful American businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Bureau of Industry and Security recently announced a 90-day pause on firearms exports. Congressional staff was given only one hour\u2019s notice. Why was more time not given to alert Congress?\u201d asked the congressman<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Export Administration within BIS, Thea Rozman Kendler, demurred. She hedged about it \u201cnot being a change in policy only a pause to ensure the existing policy aligned with our national security priorities.\u201d The congressman wasn\u2019t having it. After all, the reforms Chairman Mast spoke about strengthened end-to-end user checks to ensure firearm exports weren\u2019t being sent overseas to bad actors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears y\u2019all didn\u2019t have any conversations with stakeholders in this,\u201d Rep. Burchett replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s right. After all the commercial firearm manufacturers Rep. Burchett was alluding to are already going through several layers of compliance checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFirearm manufacturers have told me they were given no warning. Also, why were the firearms industry \u2013 why were they singled out in this issue?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe look at regional stability issues and particularly in the Western hemisphere, we have gun violence issues that lead to regional instability,\u201d Kendler answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut these people are in business, ma\u2019am. And if you cut them off\u2026 governments can just print more money. These people can\u2019t,\u201d Congressman Burchett said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kendler admitted the pause is in fact having a negative impact on a good portion of the commerce licenses being sought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNATO license applications are still being processed. That\u2019s about, frankly, 75 percent by value of our license applications that we continue to process,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, Kendler admitted there was a change in policy that has reduced \u2013 by at least 25 percent \u2013 the number of commercial firearm export licenses by American firearm industry manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congressman Burchett\u2019s final question centered on the new White House Office on Gun Violence Prevention that\u2019s staffed<\/a><\/strong> by gun control lobbyists and activists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDid anyone at the Commerce Department have conversations with the White House Office on Gun Violence Prevention prior to this decision?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kendler didn\u2019t directly answer.  But NSSF has heard from reliable sources who say that is exactly who BIS has been talking to about their new policy, along with Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) officials and the Deputy Attorney General\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full Court Press<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The subcommittee\u2019s hearing wasn\u2019t the first Congressional action taken. The Biden administration made the secretive announcement<\/strong><\/a> in late October and since then there\u2019s been plenty of Congressional pushback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the House of Representatives, Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.) has led the charg<\/strong>e<\/a> in demanding more answers. He authored a letter<\/a><\/strong> to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo that was signed by 88 of his Congressional colleagues. Rep. Green echoed the security sentiments Chairman Mast brought up in the hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs long as evil persists, there will always be a need for good people to defend themselves and their loved ones,\u201d the letter stated. \u201cNot only does BIS\u2019s pause on firearms export licenses leave people even more vulnerable, but it will also push buyers to look elsewhere to meet their customers\u2019 demands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The signatories questioned the abruptness of the decision to block firearm exports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis policy went into effect without any advance notice\u2026 Such sweeping action by BIS is unprecedented,\u201d the Members stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following that, Rep. Green introduced H.R. 6504<\/strong><\/a>, the NSSF-supported Protect American Gun Exporters Act, or PAGE Act. The bill would prohibit any actions taken to carry out the Commerce Department\u2019s export licensing pause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. House Committee on Small Business Chairman Roger Williams (R-Texas) wrote his own letter<\/a><\/strong> to Under Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Security Alan Estevez seeking information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis prohibition places a substantial burden on those businesses and individuals that rely on exporting as a source of income and for manufacturers of weapons and ammunition,\u201d Chairman Williams wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) sent an NSSF-supported letter<\/strong><\/a> to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo demanding an answer to the decision to stop exports as well. Chairman Comer wrote, \u201cThis action has raised concern about a possible extralegal attempt by the Biden Administration to harm the domestic firearms manufacturing industry in pursuit of an anti-firearm agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senate Weighs In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The action hasn\u2019t been limited to the House of Representatives, either. Forty-six senators \u2013 nearly half of the entire Senate \u2013 signed a letter<\/a><\/strong> led by Sen. Ted Budd (R-N.C.) demanding Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo answer for the sudden pause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The senators understand the pause is simply an anti-Second Amendment, anti-industry attack by the White House. They understand all firearm and ammunition exports are subject to Defense and State Department review, which can halt the export if there are concerns. At present, no other commodity is subject to the same 100 percent check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs you know, firearms exports to non-government users in countries not covered by the exception constitute a significant percentage of overall U.S. firearm exports,\u201d Sen. Budd wrote<\/a>.<\/strong> \u201cThis pause puts at stake U.S. commercial and economic interests\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congressional members will continue to put pressure on the administration for their purposeful and blatant anti-industry attack that does nothing to hurt national security. It only penalizes lawful American businesses and puts others at risk of being left unable to protect themselves from threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
