Obama to ban bullets by executive action, threatens top-selling AR-15 rifle
Washington Examiner2-26-2015 ^ | 2-26-2015 | Paul Bedard

It’s started.

As promised, President Obama is using executive actions to impose gun control on the nation, targeting the top-selling rifle in the country, the AR-15 style semi-automatic, with a ban on one of the most-used AR bullets by sportsmen and target shooters.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives this month revealed that it is putting the ban on 5.56mm ammo on a fast track, immediately driving up the price of the bullets and prompting retailers, including the huge outdoors company Cabela’s, to urge sportsmen to urge Congress to stop the president.

And how many shooting deaths does the AR15 account for? This is about disarming Americans for the ISIS invasions. Most libs sadly think this is about protecting women, children, the elderly, and helpless minorities. How foolish.

On the contrary, RINOS would have felt compelled to support their own guy. I’m done with them.

So what do you suggest?
Vote “third” party? Write-in candidates?

Folks like you are quick to point the finger but like most “CONSERVATIVES” offer ZERO solutions.

Romney was a RINO for sure. I voted for the turd (like most who hate Obama). Sue me!

He’s better than the shit-pile we have now (and you know it) even though over time the end result is the same.

So come on....offer that “WISDOM” that you and so many so-called MORE CONSERVATIVE folks have on what the solution is.

Every single idea that’s brought forth is a losing proposition since we don’t have the numbers. Divided we fall. Guess what—we’re falling and falling hard. This $hithole of a nation is finished because we can’t agree on hardly anything anymore. Maybe it’s ordained by GOD?

Still, for all of the arguments brought forth about RINO’s and who’s the “real” conservative, I fail to see any solutions being offered.

I’ll be waiting patiently for real answers.....

Rush got it wrong. This could have been done by Obama on Day 1. The AR pistol and the ammo were available. It’s been an oversight in the law for years. I hope everyone that bought M855 or SS109 saved it.

ARMOR PIERCING! As in steel core. Been illegal in .308 for a long time. People that were paying attention knew this was coming. Coulda been done by Bush. When did the AR pistol come on the scene?

He bans ammo the same day he steals the Internet and tells us all he’s gonna veto Anybody who says he is wrong. That’s quite a productive day.

Finally. I see this as a sop to the anti-gunners...keeping the issue out there since he hasn’t been able to do squat about gun control. Those of us that live in the real world know that March and April are also the prime months for school shootings. Stay tuned.

This sucks, and is obviously vindictive, but its no new law or even an executive order.

It also demonstrates how ignorant of the law the anti-gunners are. They could have been all over this and gotten the ban years ago. I always considered the availability of green tip a windfall.

... and is putting the pedal to the mettle.

The expression is, "put the pedal to the metal" .... Referring to old "Rubber-duck" truck-driver talk back in the day of Smokey and the Bandit.

"The metal" implies a truck floorboard without carpeting. Variant: "Put the hammer to the wool", in which a hammer wedged under the throttle linkage connectors substituted for a worn-out and broken-down accelerator pedal.

nails at 1000 yards and want to shoot out to 2000 yards. Until then I'd suggest .308/7.62 - its cheaper, easier to find and still good from 300 out to 1000 yards

In a civil war, can you really tell a good guy from a bad guy at 1000 yards?

It's not like 1861, when troops moved in Napoleonic masses and wore identical uniforms, with their regimental colors to the front.

WTF?! Make a damn good case?

Um, those green tips would be NEEDED when the 2nd is again put to use. Anyone think that gov’t would come unarmed, unarmored and in the open??

A major problem is that we had no A-team candidates in the running.

By design. Karl Rove ruined them all, mostly by using other "whisperers" to induce too many people who had little chance to jump into the shallow, conservative end of the political-money pool (and I mean Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Bachmann, Rudy, Newt, and a couple of others if I really think about it).

Sarah stayed out because she saw what was happening, DeMint saw what was happening, and it was a Karl Rove triumph of meddling, disinformation, and a total Mephistophelian cluster****, just the sort of thing he takes pride and rejoices in.

Cost the GOP the whole enchilada, too. Thanks, Karl, for being the guy you are.
