A Utah-based gun manufacturer has reportedly turned down a 15 million dollars deal to supply Pakistan with precision rifles, citing concerns they could be used against U.S. troops.

Mike Davis, sales manager at Desert Tech, said the company was on a short list for a contract with Pakistan, but rejected the opportunity due to unrest in Pakistan and ethical concerns, Fox News reports.

He further added that the company was founded in 2007 on the principle of keeping America and its allies safe.
