WASHINGTON (CN) - The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Bureau has removed the 90-day state residency requirement for aliens lawfully present in the United States to buy a gun. The Department of Justice has determined that the Gun Control Act does not permit the ATF to impose such a requirement when it is not applicable to U.S. citizens.
WTF...
Obama and his racist/socialist/muslim-sympathizing administration are determined to take America and Americans down to the lowest common denominator.
Don't forget Obama's snarky comment regarding American Exceptionalism:
“I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.”
The DOJ...again.
again...
This is assinine.
If you’re in the US, US law applies to you. Unless you’re a freaking diplomat.
They really want everyone but law-abiding US citizens to be armed. Criminals? Meh. Illegals? Meh. Foreigners? Meh. Law abiding citizen? Wrong answer.
Thanks for the clarification.
The headline is misleading. All this rule change does is do exactly what you said above, make sure the law applies the same to everyone who is legally in the U.S. except for diplomats and criminals. When it comes to buying guns from federally licensed dealers, the same rules now apply to legal aliens and to U.S. citizens, when it comes to buying guns from federally licensed dealers. Before this change, legal aliens were held to a different standard.
the extra “when it comes to buying guns from U.S. dealers” is an editing error and redundant.
