Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah)

Legislation introduced this month by Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) aims to prohibit certain federal agencies from using or purchasing certain firearms. The Regulatory Agency De-militarization Act calls for federal agencies, other than those traditionally tasked with enforcing federal law, from purchasing machine guns, grenades and other weaponry regulated under the National Firearms Act. In an interview with Federal News Radio's Eric White on Federal Drive with Tom Temin, Stewart explains how he hopes this will help tamper down the distrust many Americans feel towards the federal government today.
