 [ZERO] As the federal government expands overseas sales of firearms, Sig Sauer, a gun maker in New Hampshire, has emerged as the leading exporter of pistols.
"The economic and political forces driving those sales were set in motion after the US assault-weapons ban expired in 2004. But they've reached new heights since gunmakers in 2020 won a decade-long battle to streamline export approvals," Bloomberg said.
After the ban was lifted, exports of semiautomatics skyrocketed to 3.7 million units -- more than doubling in the past six years. |
