82 House Democrats want Obama to Ban Imports of Military-Style Firearms
The Independent Sentinel ^ | April 12, 2014 | Sara Noble

President Obama has been asked to stop the importation of what 82 House Democrats believe to be “military-style firearms” such as the AK-47. They want to stop gun crime in Mexico. Maybe they would be more successful at stopping gun violence in Mexico if they fired Holder and revamped the ATF.

The ban “would require no congressional action as the President has very broad authority under the 1968 Gun Control Act to prohibit the importation of firearms and ammunition unless they are generally recognized as particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes.”

Led my Eliot L. Engel (D-NY) and John Conyers Jr. (D-MI),they sent a letter to President Obama “urging him to renew enforcement of the ban on imported military-style firearms that was previously enforced during the H.W. Bush and Clinton administrations.”

We should get those names, post them in a register, and make sure they never get elected for anything again. Traitorous scum

“The militia from several different locals in these United States were called and showed up,,,”

And their IDs/organizations are now at the top of the list for preemptive before the next time - in my opinion - .

Note that Norma is importing .22 ammo to fill the void.

Too pricey for me.

Reviews (on Midway) show it is not ready for prime time.

I would guess the plan is....our government will buy the arms and sell them across the seas to the highest bidder.

Screw them. If they want to ban imports, they need to ban the importation of illegal aliens.

Just paint the guns pink and they won’t look so military.

Look for increased urgency in gun confiscation efforts after the Bundy ranch showdown.

Good to know! I’m a commie-gun lover since Vietnam.

The AK was built of steel & wood. The M-16 was a large plastic & alloy toothbrush.

Note to Obama and gungrabbing dems...

It’s TOO LATE, the American People are armed as their
forefathers reccommended.

Still, you can try and take them...
I would advise against it though, many of
us are old soldiers and dieing in combat
would come as somewhat of a relief after
seeing what old age is like in a socialist state.

No large-scale domestic manufacture of com-bloc ammo calibers, though... yet.

That probably includes accepting back the US made M-1 Garrand Rifle’s from Korea that they are trying to return to us.

The ones we gave them that they are selling back to us so they can buy more domestically produced weapons? No thanks.
