Savannah Now – by Amy Paige Condon
Two days following a mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY), chairwoman of the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform, sent a set of questions to the five leading manufacturers of AR-style semi-automatic rifles, including Bryan County-based Daniel Defense – maker of the DDM4 V7 AR15-style rifle used by the shooter to kill 19 fourth-graders and two teachers.
The questions revolved around the sale and marketing of AR-15-style semi-automatic rifles. The deadline for answering those questions was Thursday. Despite repeated calls and emails to the Committee, however, the Savannah Morning News has been unable to confirm whether Daniel Defense met its deadline.
