EXCLUSIVE – A GOP lawmaker is pushing for all guns used by the U.S. military to be made in America by U.S. companies, an effort that could shake up how the Defense Department sources weapons. 

Rep. Dave Taylor (R-OH) is introducing the Make American Guns Again Act, a nod to President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again movement, to force Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to conduct a study on foreign-made small arms, light weapons, and weapon parts that are either built outside of the country or made in the United States by a foreign-owned company.
