Obama Quietly Signs Firearm And Ammo Killswitch Order
American Journal ^ | Alexander Higgins

Posted on 08/13/2013 5:22:50 AM PDT by BulletBobCo

President Obama is quietly moving forward with gun control regulations.

A Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives(ATF) Final Rule published Tuesday in the Federal Register and a news release issued last Friday by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHS) are recent developments ignored by the mainstream media even though Vice President Joe Biden announced last week that the administration would be using executive orders to advance “gun control” goals following a Senate battle that could not muster the votes to do so legislatively.

President Obama has side-stepped Congress by implementing portions of the UN Small Arms Trade Treaty through an executive order which can be used to ban the import of all firearms, ammunition and related supplies and accessories.

While patriots across the nation rejoiced when the US congress rejected flat on its face an attempt to force the United States into the UN Small Arms Treaty just weeks later a more sinister ulterior motive has been revealed.

Today, President Obama by passed congress and signed an executive which gives the federal government a power to completely ban the importation of guns, ammunition and even parts and accessories related to firearms.

While the UN Small Arms Treaty would have prevented the United States from both importing and exporting weapons, Obama has effectively signed on to the treaty with his new executive order while allowing the United States to export weapons of deaths to covertly funded clandestine operations in overseas nations where it seeks to further its imperialistic agenda.

I just read that the Gov. is buying 300,000,000 rds of 7.62x39, plus an untold number of 9x18 Makarov rds., plus other foreign ammo. I imagine it’s to keep it out of our hands, or resupply the Arab rebels.

They won’t. With a precious few exceptions, they ARE the enemy.

Part of the 23 EO’s from January...Obama still hasn’t signed the UN arms treaty...won’t be ratified by the Senate. If signed by POTUS it just sits in “limbo” waiting for a bigger Dem majority in the Senate?

It is time to legally remove the defiant Obama from office. He is an enemy of the US Constitution. In by-passing congress he becomes a world-class dictator right beside Stalin and Hitler.

You say that like it means anything.

How about “When the Constitution, again, reigns as the Law of the land”

I read, even here, how ‘Conservatives’ back SS/Medicare (they ‘paid into’), Federal War on Drugs, etc.

“...Shall not be Infringed....”

Every single day you can’t carry from coast to coast, it’s being infringed.

Every time they tell you that you can’t own whatever they deem scary, it’s being infringed.

Every time you go to buy ammo and can’t, it’s being infringed.

Every time you go to buy a firearm, and you’re told there’s a “Cooling Off Period” or waiting period of some kind, or you’re asked to show a FOID, it’s being infringed.

What do you want to DO about it is the question...

And 2nd amendment concerns quite aside, almost every single one of these restrictions is a tilt at windmills, that hobbles honest people much worse than it does dishonest ones.

“..hat hobbles honest people much worse than it does dishonest ones...”

Which is exactly as they were designed to do.

So - you either choose to obey. Or you don’t.

Choices have consequences. But it’s still a choice. And every American needs to decide what that choice is.

I don't live in a cave and neither do millions of freedom loving Americans across our nation.
Actions the IRS are taking are also infringing on our rights to Vote and Upholding the constitution
through freedom to petition our Government, by organizing traditional protests against ALL.

I certainly hope our Government is coming to a headway in their unconstitutional actions
and the tide turns. Many are doing something about it, and I can only help fund
those who are because I do have a company to run. We all pitch in however we can.

Wasn’t criticizing you, friend. I am sure you are.

There’s only so much each of us can do.

I teach people to shoot and also gun safety. That’s my part.

Not real good with sarcasm, are you?

Barack Obama is reportedly going to sign the treaty this month while Congress is on vacation.
