President Obama To Ban Importation of Ammo, Magazines
and Gun Accessories Without Congressional Approval
April 23rd, 2013
Article source.
Over
the course of the last month, while Americans were distracted with the
threat of nuclear war on the Korean peninsula and the devastation
wrought by the Boston bombings, President Obama was quietly working
behind the scenes to craft laws and regulations that will further erode
the Second Amendment.
Congress, and thus We the People, may have
unequivocally rejected federal legislation in March which aimed to
outlaw most semi-automatic rifles, restrict magazine capacity, and force
national registration, but that didn't stop President Obama from ceding regulatory control
over firearms importation to the United Nations just two weeks later.
What the UN Arms Trade Treaty, passed without media fanfare by 154
counties, would do is to restrict the global trade of, among other
things, small arms and light weapons. Opponents of the treaty argue that
loopholes within the new international framework for global gun control
may make it illegal for Americans to purchase and import firearms
manufactured outside of the United States.
To further his gun-grabbing agenda, however, President Obama and his administration didn't stop there.
Now they're taking another significant step
against Americans' right to bear arms -- and they're doing it through
Presidential Executive Action, a strategy that, once again, bypasses
Congressional oversight and the legislative process.
…it appears that the BHO Administration is taking executive action on firearms importation. Take a few minutes to read this: After Senate setback, Obama quietly moving forward with gun regulation. Here is the key portion of the article:
"The
Importation of Defense Articles and Defense Services – U.S. Munitions
Import List references executive orders, amends ATF regulations and
clarifies Attorney General authority "to designate defense articles and defense services as part of the statutory USML for purposes of permanent import controls,"
among other clauses specified in heavy legalese requiring commensurate
analysis to identify just what the administration's intentions are.
Among the speculations of what this could enable are concerns that
importing and International Traffic in Arms Regulations [ITAR] may go
forward to reflect key elements within the United Nations Arms Trade
Treaty."[Emphasis added.]
Depending on how it is implemented, the implications of this change could be huge. With the stroke a of a pen and without the consent of Congress, ATF bureaucrats could make ANY gun part or accessory (including magazines) or ammunition that were originally manufactured or perhaps even those designed for military use no longer legal for importation for civilian use. That might mean no
more milsurp parts sets. No more milsurp magazines. No more milsurp
ammo. No more milsurp optics. Perhaps not even spare firing pins. This could be ugly.
I strongly recommend that you stock up on magazines, ammunition and spare parts for any of your imported military pattern guns, as soon as possible! Once an import ban is implemented, prices will skyrocket.

Just five days ago the President vowed to
push forward on gun control without Congress (see video below) and
Nancy Pelosi argued that no matter what Congress says, gun control is inevitable.
This latest round of Executive Actions is what they meant.
A direct on attack on the second amendment
is difficult if not impossible, so they are trying to slither their way
in through the backdoor by restricting international trade so we can't
import new firearms, by restricting access to accessories and gun parts,
by heavily taxing ammunition
and gun purchases, by mandating policies like forcing gun owners to
have liability insurance, and of course, by identifying potentially
dangerous gun owners and simply taking their firearms because of public safety concerns.
The President recently suggested that the
American people have spoken, and that they want guns to be restricted,
banned and heavily regulated.
If that's so, then how is that a bipartisan
Congress overwhelmingly rejected the President's bid to restrict and
outlaw private ownership of millions of weapons and gun accessories?
Going
through the United Nations and now implementing Executive Actions to
bypass America's Constitutionally mandated system of checks and balances
is an act of desperation.
Those who would take our rights have been
left with no choice but to try and force their agenda upon us through
dictatorial means.
