Following in the well-worn footsteps of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his Blueprint for Federal Action on Illegal Guns, this week the Council on Foreign Relations released a memo urging the Obama administration to disregard the will of the American people and Congress and unilaterally enact a series of gun controls. Entitled, A Strategy to Reduce Gun Trafficking and Violence in the Americas, and written by CFR Senior Fellow for Latin American Studies, Julia F. Sweig, the memo pins the ills of Central and South America on U.S. gun owners and urges the president to curb our rights to cure them.
Leading off CFR’s wish list is a call to expand the current semi-auto rifle reporting scheme nationwide. Since 2010, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has required that all firearms dealers in the Southwest border states report to it the sale to one purchaser within a five-day period of two or more semiautomatic center-fire rifles of a caliber greater than .22. The result of this program is the registration of gun owners who choose to purchase more than one firearm at a time and significant additional paperwork burdens for dealers.
In the Gun Control Act of 1968, Congress specifically limited a reporting scheme of this type to the sale of handguns. However, BATFE enacted the current requirement by twisting a procedure originally intended by Congress to allow the agency to query dealer records for legitimate and limited criminal investigations; the demand letter. Attempts by NRA to bind BATFE to their congressionally authorized functions through litigation on this issue have been unsuccessful, and to further expand the program would even more egregiously divorce BATFE’s abuse of the demand letter process from any notion of Congressional authority.

Amen! Not just on gun control, but all issues...taxes, the IRS, NSA spying on law abiding American citizens, stopping the homo agenda, ending the homosexualization of our schools, stopping amnesty for illegal scumbag aliens, energy independence, justice for the Americans killed in Benghazi, justice for Brian Terry, and on and on...
Let's get up off our a**es, turn off the TV, and go on the offense...by that I mean get out in the streets, in the City Hall chambers, pound on the doors of our state legislators, start talking with our neighbors and co-workers about those issues we haven't dared to talk about in the past, etc. Break some eggs and make some omlettes, people!
Sorry...rant off...for now.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Any politician running for election tied to the CFR is an automatic NO for me
Well that sure narrows the field
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the CFR doesn’t need friends. They’re part of the Global Marxist Elites that control everything.
Ridicule them. These golf clap people need it.

When the AR II comes to being, I suspect being a member of the CFR will be a hanging offense....
More Free Trader Commie Globalist nonsense
The CFR is no friend to conservative Americans
Free trade would work wonderfully if every country was like canada or the USA....
But they are NOT and so free trade screws all sorts of things up and the people in power use it to leverage themselves more power....

Global Marxist Elites that control everything?
or
Global Elites who use Marxism as a tool to control everything?
There is a subtle but definate difference between the two....
CFR: Crushing Firearm Rights
The Woolworth gun! Wonder how much they’re worth today.
What price freedom?
Don’t you understand that Fred was part of the Tennessee GOPe mentored by the likes of Howard Baker and Lamar Alexander.
Yes, I understood that. Others like them and their friends in that other Party have regulated against American production in nearly every locale, broken American families and handed us to foreign nations of their favorite resorts for decades—all for the unhealthy desires of the few around them in their little spheres of perception. They’re vain and out of touch with reality.
I apologize for coming on strong in my post.
I have posted repeatedly that over 90 percent of the folks we elect as Republicans are fake and phony.
The business and political elites work to build “order” in the world with the EU, North American Union, African Union and the list goes on up to and including the United Nations.
Elitists run as fake conservatives and get elected.
I’m not going along with business as usual anymore period.
I will not vote for RINO’s under any circumstances.
Well said.
Based upon my reading and research, the Marxist element of the Global Elites is definitly in charge of setting the global social policy agenda. The USSR may be gone, but the Marxists in the US have never abandoned their efforts and they appear to be making great strides here.
As I understand the Global Elites, they are comprised of several different interest factions and it might be accurate to say that the Marxists are a tool used by the hierarchy to acieve its goal of One World Governance. The Marxists offer something to the Elites that no one else does. They offer maximum social control and that will lead, ultimately, to population reduction and growth control. It appears that for all practical purposes, the Marxist/Fascist elements have merged thus giving the Marxists the cover of having adopted the Corporatist-State, Centrally Planed Control Economy model.
In the end of course, its all about money and power and control.
This Julia Sweig has very deep ties to t least 2 Cubans who were involved in planning the November 1962 Thanksgiving plot to bomb Manhattan stores.
