The United States has suspended most civilian firearm exports for 90 days due to national security concerns.
All civilian license applications will be “held without action.”
The U.S. Department of Commerce will limit the issuance of civilian export licenses to assess the risk of firearms being diverted to activities that promote regional instability, violate human rights, or fuel criminal activities. (Trending: Donald Trump Is A ‘Cockroach’ That Just Won’t Go Away)
The ban excludes certain countries with separate export agreements, such as Israel and Ukraine.
“The ban doesn’t cover around 40 countries, including Israel and Ukraine, that have a separate export agreement for firearms,” the report found.
Government clients must specify the intended recipients of firearms, and applications without explicit naming will be returned.
This suspension could impact U.S. firearms companies like Sturm Ruger & Co., Vista Outdoor, and Smith & Wesson Brands.
The recent mass shooting in Maine has sparked calls among Democrats for the national confiscation of guns.
The shooter, an Army reservist, had shown signs of mental illness and had been evaluated by police.
Family members told “federal investigators that he recently discussed hearing voices.” (Trending: Joe Biden Historic Take Down of Guns)

He had “been taken by police for an evaluation after military officials became concerned that he was acting erratically in mid-July,” per the AP.
However, no action was taken to prevent him from legally owning a firearm.
The real problem is that existing gun laws are not properly enforced, leading to mass shootings and calls for gun control.
Kamala Harris endorses confiscation of guns from Americans. Everyone needs to understand that’s what she’s saying here. In Cuba they took the guns and shortly after many families like my own lost everything. Never give up your guns. NEVER. Period. pic.twitter.com/Skg4bcVGa1

Banning so-called “assault weapons” is ineffective. Handguns are far more common in gun-related crimes.
“The Biden administration is calling for new bans on so-called assault weapons and high-capacity magazines,” the report found.
“Our border and AI Czar, Kamala Harris, has been calling for a ban of so-called assault weapons ever since becoming vice president, claiming, ‘Congress needs to have the courage to act and renew the assault weapons ban. An assault weapon is designed to kill a lot of human beings quickly. There is no reason we have weapons of war on the streets of America. We need reasonable gun safety laws,'” she stated.
The best solution for saving lives is outlawing gun-free zones and allowing universal recognition of concealed carry licenses.
These measures would save lives and have a positive impact on the U.S.
Kamala Harris admits she wants to confiscate your guns like Australia did.
