On Wednesday—a day before the Malaysian airliner was shot down—President Obama quietly signed an executive order targeting Russian oil, natural gas, finance and defense companies. Hidden in the details, was a section that effectively bans AK-47s. As always, the devil is in the details, so read on for the straight scoop.

my kid says it’s not all AKs, just AKs produced by a certain Russkie company, the ones from Romania et al are still fine

[DaveA37]

Odumbo can write anything he wants but WHO will be following those ‘orders”? He is only putting restrictions on exports.

Those muzzie dudes in Iraq are now using OUR weapons do do their annihilation....and no one says boo.

"... SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED."

I might argue with the Romainian AK’s being “fine”. Ha ha! The VEPR and Saiga shotguns are incredible.

"Obama Signs Executive Order Banning AK-47s"

Wow, that will bring them to their knees.

I suppose that if you were brought up by communists and used lots of drugs then ran around with terrorists in Chicago you would agree with the pResident.

[onedoug]

Eff you, soetoro.

the Izhmash and Izhevsk guns

This is wrong.

They banned imports of new AK’s made in Russia.

You cannot buy or sell AK’s from that company. If you own you AKs outright, it is legal to own and sell them. If you receive a shipment of them from Russia and you owe the manufacturer on them, then they are banned.

Ask type weapons are produced just about everywhere. Non Russian arms are legal and importable.

Bet the remaining stocks fly off the shelves at absurd prices. Might be a good time to stock up on Wolf ammo if they ban that, too.

[vmivol00]

That’s exactly what the article says.

[BitWielder1]

Well, now there are more Russian made AK-47's available for everyone else in the world who uses them.
Cheaper too, supply and demand and all that.
The third world countries thanks you 0bama.

Trial balloon, if he can ban one gun, why not all?

[dforest]

I can’t decide who is really behind that plane that was downed. Obama or Putin. Either is quite capable of such an act.

If you do not think the Obama admin is capable then look to the cold callous and evil plan being carried on at the border. Absolutely no regard for human life couched in “caring”.

[Vermont Lt]

Yes...but no one reads the article. They read the headlines.

The Bulgarian AK is a good weapon if you can find one. This may be an opportunity for American gunmakers. I believe Century Arms is putting them out as we speak on their website.
