A | “Following the Fourth of July shooting in Highland Park, IL, Chair @RepMaloney sent letters to three major gun manufacturers requesting their appearance at an @OversightDems hearing on July 20, 2022,” the committee wrote on social media.,The letters were addressed to Marty Daniel, the CEO of Daniel Defense; Mark Smith, the president and CEO of Smith & Wesson Brands; and Christopher Killoy, the president and CEO of Sturm, Ruger & Co., The Washington Post reported.,This hearing is the second held by the committee to investigate the gun industry. Witnesses of the Uvalde and Buffalo mass shootings in May shared their experiences at the June 8 hearing. When the first hearing was announced in early June, the committee noted there had already been more than 200 mass shootings in the United States this year.,Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney is requesting the presence of the CEOs at the second hearing because of financial information given to the committee, according to The Washington Post, which acquired a copy of the letter sent to Killoy. She had previously requested five gun manufacturers to provide their gross revenue and profit for sales of AR-15-style semiautomatic rifles; annual advertising and marketing expenses for these guns; annual spending on federal and state lobbying, and funding for the National Rifle Association.,Maloney said the committee’s concerns that gun manufacturers were not taking sufficient precautions to limit the harm caused by their rifles had only grown after receiving the information. In a statement cited by The Washington Post, she said the CEOs needed to explain why they were selling rifles designed for the battlefield to civilians.。

B |     北京時間週四上晝，WNBA常規賽好戲連場，其中飛翼主場迎戰節奏在較早時段開波。兩隊近期都陷入連敗泥潭，不過對比各自當前處境可看出飛翼的實力明顯在節奏之上，因此看好飛翼贏球止頹。

    　　今季強勢崛起的飛翼想以有利位置開啟季後賽征程，無奈最近一波三連敗讓她們在競爭形勢裡暫時落於被動，當務之急是贏球提振士氣。

C | 此番一大利好，飛翼今季主場對陣當下前八名之外的隊伍6戰全勝，當中半數場次淨勝至少15分。人手方面，內線核心謝絲嘉舒柏特上仗受傷，今仗缺陣；好在球隊今季頭兩次面對節奏時的整體發揮不俗，尤其是柏治布克絲均場斬獲28分，對方難以對其有效限制，期待她今仗再有精彩個人演出。

　　節奏在賽季早段有過不少驚喜，頭12場打出7勝5負；然而近20場慘遭3勝17負，並深陷九連敗，儼然撞上「新軍墻」無法自拔。
