Obama to ban bullets by executive action, threatens top-selling AR-15 rifle

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.

Precisely!

and contrary to an above poster’s comments- yeah we do know that the main stream media would have NEVER allowed Romney to do any of the crap the _resident is doing- They would have crucified romeny for even attempting any of the crap- it’s fine by them when a democrat does it, but they would have gone ballistic- they would have NEVER allowed him one minute’s peace because the MSM HATE the right- period-

I think this is just a diversion to get the peoples attention away from the FCC passing the government takeover of the internet. FCC is passing net neutrality. Sites like the one we are on will be gone in just a few years, that is their goal and unfortunately no one is stopping them.

all the keyboard commandos need to check themselves. they're just poking the bee hive and hoping you'll make some idiotic comment to allow them to track you. I suspect that I'm probably being tracked due me warning you at this time.

There was a raid last month in Bryan Texas of Texas secessionists that included FBI, local, county and I think BATF. Because some idiot gave a judge a summons to appear before the Texas Republic's court.

Thoughtful "suggestions" about books and opinions that can be shared by like minded individuals should be done. Otherwise veiled threats should be avoided.

The 4 million “conservatives” who stayed home in 2012 knew Obama would complete his destruction on our nation his last four years if he wasn’t stopped, but they found it more important to have their little sorry a$$ pity party.

I don't know how this myth got started, but Obama still won by 5 million votes despite receiving 3.5 million less votes than he received in 2008. And Romney received 1 million more votes than McCain.

2008

Obama 69,499,428 (52.86%)

McCain 59,950,323 (45.60%)

2012

Obama 65,918,507 (51.01%)

Romney 60,934,407 (47.15%)

And if these 4 million mythical conservatives had shown up in 2012, what states would Romney have won from Obama? Electoral votes are the ones that count in a Presidential election.

Incorrect. From the BATF memo:

It is important to note that only projectiles that meet the statutory definition of “armor piercing” – i.e., those made out of the specific listed materials that may be used in a handgun – are subject to the statutory restrictions. As a result, manufacturers are, and will continue to be, free to manufacture projectiles from non-restricted materials, completely independent of the application of this framework or any exemptions.

[clintonh8r]

Yep. I’m gonna fold my arms and sit this one out....let the stay-at-homes complaining about Obama figure out what to do now.

[Hot Tabasco]

You have no idea what Romney would or wouldn't do.

You're right, we don't. But we DID know what Obama had in store for us didn't we?

There were three choices on election day, 2012, and only one would have saved us from Obama:

1. Vote for Obama

2. Vote for Romney

3. Stay home.......

[Logical me]

Yeah right! You were one of those misinformed idiots. Grow up!

[dragnet2]

It’s all about total complete government control, one step at a time, incrementally.

I don’t know why so many people are still unable to understand this.

I guess they’re still busy celebrating the Republican’s big wins and have failed to notice.

[Bob434]

[[The 4 million “conservatives” who stayed home in 2012 knew Obama would complete his destruction on our nation his last four years if he wasn’t stopped,]]

Not only that- but I remember quite well during the elections that many on this site even stated “America Deserves whatever Ollama will do to us because Romney was nominated GOPP frontrunner” Declaring they would never vote for him, and that they wouldn’t feel bad when the current _resident brought the hammer down on us- They actually declared we ‘deserved’ ollama when justifying their decision NOT to vote for romney

Only Three days to go until March!

If Obama is going to “fundamentally transform America” by creating and ignoring laws on his own I will, in repsonse, fundamentally transform Obamaism by unilaterally ignoring those laws and dictates. If he wants a lawless society maybe it’s time to start giving it to him.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Put the blame where it belongs, with the GOP/RNC.
They decided to nominate McCain in 2008 and Romney in 2012.
Those were hand-picked designated losers.
Jeb Bush is the designated loser for 2016.
There was no intention of winning either campaign.
There is no intention of winning in 2016.
They going to nominate another candidate that is anathema to conservatives.

Good luck trying to elect someone people can’t stand with cajoling, berating, guilting and threatening.

It does not work in case you haven’t gotten the clue yet.

I found this Wiki entry very interesting in light of Obama being a Muzzie.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Empire

“In the Ottoman Empire, in accordance with the Muslim dhimmi system, Christians were guaranteed limited freedoms (such as the right to worship), but were treated as second-class citizens. They were forbidden to carry weapons or ride on horseback, their houses could not overlook those of Muslims, and their religious practices would have to defer to those of Muslims, in addition to various other legal limitations.[153]”

Now I can understand why Obama is pushing the gun control and electric car agendas so hard.

[Artcore]

Oh, so now they’re “mythical”? Okay got it. Thanks for clarifying that for me.

Pfft.

[Bob434]

[[Start acting like a real American. ]]

And just how do you suppose a ‘real american’ acts? By abstaining from voting for a ‘rino’ so that a KNOWN MARXIST gets elected and then proceeds to destroy this nation and attack our constitutional rights?

Swell!

[Zathras]

Executive Amnesty was just a test to see if Obama could get away with it.
It is going to get REAL BAD, REAL SOON.

[MaxMax]

And so the stale argument over Romney continues..

It is becoming perfectly clear to me that those here on Freepers who are raising this
argument are actually Democrats and have found an issue to attack All Conservatives on.

I don't give a hoot or holler about Romney. He's a Deadbeat now and deserves
no more recognition for being a Looser. Period!

Being stuck on Romney is senseless and a waste of time. But then that's why you
and others are here raising the dead.

[Bidimus1]

The follow on is of course for the .GOV to order pistols in All military calibers .. then ban the ammo.

Welcome to mexico.
