WASHINGTON (WNCN) – Joining together in a bi-partisan letter, U.S. Reps Richard Hudson (R-NC) and Deborah Ross (D-NC) are pleading with the EPA to do more.
They want Chemours to pay for health and environmental testing of toxic chemicals used at its facility in Fayetteville.
"In particular people who produce the chemicals, who have access to the most information should care about the health and safety of people in North Carolina and across the country," said Ross.
Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) is leading 140 members of Congress against the ATF's proposed AR-pistol rule and suggesting the rule is a tax on "disabled combat veterans."
Hudson and his colleagues sent a letter dated June 15, 2021, to Attorney General Merrick Garland and acting ATF director Marvin Richardson, urging the proposed rule to be withdrawn.
They pointed out that the ATF previously recognized AR-pistol braces for the benefit disabled combat veterans receive from them:

A majority of House Republicans are vowing to kill a new Biden plan to tax and regulate one of the nation's most popular firearms for target practice and hunting, claiming it discriminates against disabled veterans and would make all owners "felons overnight."
Led by Second Amendment advocate Rep. Richard Hudson, 141 Republicans (and likely more to come) are targeting a revived rule from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives backed by the Justice Department to turn AR-style pistols into expensive, hard to get guns.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (FOX 46 CHARLOTTE) – After a year and a half of delays and stalling, the Pentagon is finally ready to start processing millions of dollars in military medical malpractice claims, perhaps by the end of the month, FOX 46 has learned.
"I'm still at a loss for words," said Army Green Beret Sgt. 1st Class Richard Stayskal. "But it's a great feeling."
It is a win for victims and their families who, up until now, have not had any recourse or measure of justice when it comes to botched and negligent medical care by military doctors.
Friends,
America is setting records, and I'm not talking about the upcoming Tokyo Olympics.
Last week, we received alarming data about two of the biggest issues in our country: the border and our economy.
In late March, N.C. Sen. Thom Tillis announced he would soon undergo surgery to treat prostate cancer. The treatment is now complete and, family by his side, a full recovery is expected. But as the Senator noted, his "prognosis was good" because he went to his annual physical and diligently received recommended early cancer screening tests. As he correctly concluded, "Early detection can truly save lives."And the numbers support that statement: Cancer caught at an early stage, before it spreads throughout the body, has a 90 percent survival rate for five years or more after diagnosis.
