Obama, Holder Push to Loosen Gun Sale Restrictions—for Legal Immigrants
Breitbart ^ | 12/24/12 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 12/24/2012 5:25:12 PM PST by Nachum

While the shooting at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School has prompted a national gun control debate, President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder will still push to allow immigrants to purchase firearms more easily.

Normally, the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) requires legal aliens to live in a state for 90 days before buying a gun. The ATF does this through a rule attached to the Gun Control Act of 1968.

In June, Holder’s DOJ proposed to eliminate that 90-day residency requirement rule.

“This rule would finalize the interim final rule published on June 7, 2012 by removing the 90-day State residency requirement for aliens lawfully present in the United States to purchase or acquire a firearm,” the proposal to eliminate that requirement reads in part. “The Department has determined that the Gun Control Act does not permit ATF to impose a regulatory requirement that aliens lawfully present in the United States are subject to a 90-day State residency requirement when such a requirement is not applicable to U.S. citizens.”

The move to allow aliens easier access to firearms is now in its final stages.

The new rule is expected to reach its final stages in April 2013. That means it will either pass or be discarded.

At this point it has to be pretty clear what Obama’s vision of the United States is, for the future.

It is crystal clear that his rainbow doesn’t include the color white.

This isn’t fair to the ILLEGAL immigrants! They should be given free guns and ammo. Let’s call them “Obamaguns”. /s

“Friends of Obama”

Certainly with allegiance to Obama, and none to this country. These will be more of the regime’s flying monkeys.

You have got to be kidding?!? Americans....the legal ones who make this country run...need to rise up and burn Washington DC to the ground. There is no fixing that wretched hive of scum and villainy. The antics of uber-racists Obama and Holder were almost comical until now.

I know the site is kind of 'tin hat-ty' but this article is by the guy at Canada Free Press that did the good stuff on Benghazi:

INTERVIEW WITH DHS INSIDER
"They, I mean Jarrett and Obama as well as a few others in government, are working to create a perfect storm too. This is being timed to coincide with new gun laws."

Much more at:

Part one

Part two

Non-citizens should be non gun owners. Once they raise their hand and swear allegeancethey can get their guns..but not until. DHS can't even keep track of those people with green cards and visa's..they overstay..etc. So how can we trust them with guns?

Cynical game to be sure. BUT if this is talking about people who are visiting and obeying the rules, and who were not serious criminals before doing so, then I find it hard to muster more than a “meh” at this.

I makes one wonder how long an American has to reside in a State before purchasing a weapon. I can’t go to a neighboring State and buy a handgun because I don’t live in that State.
