I was trying to determine if the guns made in the US are manufactured with imported steel? Their costs are about to go up as well. I'm sure the Trumpeestas will love to pay more for their guns.

Only exception may be the companies like Colt and FN that also do military contracts, the military contracts generally require domestic sourcing on raw materials whenever possible.

I hope Trump's rubes are all OK paying lots more for their vehicles.
