Did you miss this part?
“The rule was originally instituted after a disturbed Palestinian, 69-year-old Ali Abu Kamal, admitted to the United States on a legal nonimmigrant visa, bought a 380-caliber Beretta semiautomatic handgun in Florida and, on the observation deck of the Empire State Building in New York City, shot to death one person and injured six others.”
And NOW suddenly, with F&F falling down around their ears, the benevolent atf decides that MORE people should have guns, not Americans, but foreigners? And you don’t find this strange?
If it is unconstitutional now, why wasn’t it unconstitutional then? This is BS. HUGE.
Sorry. I get that you don’t agree with it. It’s a sore spot. REALLY a sore spot.
I didn’t miss any of it, all I did was correct an incorrect understanding of the article. What part of that did you miss?
Sell enough guns to unvetted foreigners, and claim the guns are the problem when there is a problem.
They're just setting the stage like Fast and Furious. The difference is that the Federal Government won't have to spend our money to buy the guns for them, they'll have to spend their own...maybe.
Yeah well I have a real sore spot about being jumped on for false reasons.
This is Fast and Furious with a turban.
EL...Welcome to America!
Read the article more carefully. The “federal law” they are worried about is the Gun Control Act, not the 2nd Amendment. For these politicians, that is not the most important federal firearm regulation to be complied with.
Read that about the TSA. Hitler must be laughing in his grave.
Look on the bright side. Now Pedro can not only mow your lawn for cheap he can be your straw buyer. With 20 million illegals in this country there is no longer any excuse for owning guns that are traceable to you. ;^)
The GCA was a ruse perpetrated by the likes of Barney Frank on Americans. They did NOT have the votes to get it out of committee, but Frank allowed it out anyway. Glad his manboobery is out!
And just a correction... the Second Amendment, like all of the others, is a RIGHT guaranteed to Americans. It’s not a regulation. It’s a clearly enumerated right that cannot be invalidated or otherwise diminished; the right to keep and bear arms for the protection of self, family, and property.
You are right and in fact I think it has been the law for some time so I don’t understand what this change is.
We don't. Funny rant though. LOL
