federal law is pretty clear about when a person loses their RKBA because of mental ullness. A script for xanex or elavil or whatever doesn’t preclude firesrm ownership. You have to be declared mentally incompetent by a court and/or be committed to a mental hospital. I think it has to be involuntarily too.
As I have posted before, imported ammo has been sitting in containers on docks for a log time. Obama has already been doing this via Customs. This is one of the big reasons for the shortage. I wonder of there is litigation that has been moving through the legal system and Obama has to do something like this now.
***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. ****
again reminds me of the 1968 Gun Control Law which banned the import of 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifles and and handguns, ammo, and small foreign made handguns. They also banned military “armaments”.
A TULSA gun shop was raided by the ATF because they were in violation because they imported....FLINTLOCK gun flints!
****It sucks, but we have lived through this kind of thing before.
When? My memory isn’t what it used to be. ****
Post 1968 after that travesty the 1968 Gun Control Law was passed.
Can an EO that effects commerce be legal?
The VA right now, today, can determine on their own a Vet cannot have a firearm.
What you say is the way it was BEFORE HUSSEIN. Hussein now gives a state money to encourage doctors to send medical records to the BATF. It will be the BATF and/or Holder that will make that decision by themselves. It will happen. I read the subject matter he was going to put in every executive order he was going to write to get control of guns and magazines and ammo..
Maybe Obama should halt the import of Muslims.
What is undoubtedly the worst president in the entire history of the United States, coupled with the most incompetent staff of addled Marxist ideologues ever assembled, are doing everything they possibly can to f*ck with gun owners - and just about everyone else on the right/conservative end of the spectrum, as well.

Closer to 23%
Maybe we the people will export Won.
I can’t imagine anything that will sell more domestically produce ammo than an importation ban. Some gun owners will insist on having a mountain of ammo on hand before they stop buying.
Maybe we will treat him like Mel Zelaya in Honduras, pick him up in the middle of the night in a helicopter, fly him to the border an dump him off in a foreign country in his PJ’s.
Don't forget Bill Bennett was in on the gun import ban too.
He's a narcissistic liar.
Yes, I remember Bill Bennett’s role back then. The 1989 Semi-Auto Import Ban was also given some political cover by the domestic gun manufacturers who supported limiting the competition. I’ve always suspected that Bill Ruger’s policy on magazine capacity was somehow tied to this.
Congress can stop these executive orders.
As I noted in previous comments, some of this became law in 1968. It all comes down to BATF policies, which in turn come down to what the President tells that agency to do.
all true but still, it’s unprecedented and beyond the scope of his power. He can and will be challenged in court and beaten. The first of many expected lawsuits was just filed against the VA yesterday by the United States Justice Foundation btw. It will be a long, interesting, and very public fight.
