Obama issues new executive orders against guns (While looking at Syria.....)

President Obama ordered two more executive actions Thursday to restrict guns, banning the re-importation of military surplus firearms to private entities and proposing a regulation that would close a loophole in background checks.

On the day B. Todd Jones is being sworn in as the new director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the White House said the ATF is proposing to conduct background checks on firearms registered to a trust or corporation. The administration said felons and others prohibited from having firearms currently are able to avoid background checks by choosing this route.

[snip] The orders follow 23 other executive actions on gun control that the White House unveiled in January. In the spring, the Democratic-controlled Senate rejected a proposal to require expanded background checks for gun purchases.

Perhaps, although the numbers involved are so small I don't think he'll bother; how many FN-49s or T-40s are being imported these days?

You can still get one, but expect to pay at least $1000 (or so) for a decent shooter...at least twice that for a nice collectable one.

Right. But they also go after you on Tax Evasion charges. Like how they got Al Capone. That was the “little warrant” from the IRS in the US Treasury in the Waco Branch Davidian raid, while the ATF one was the “big warrant”.
