Another week, another example of the president's unending executive power grabs. The target this time is the most popular sporting and target shooting rifles sold in America; the AR-15.The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives is proposing a ban on the most popular ammunition for the AR-15, trying to backdoor Congress again on gun control.

Washington Examiner:

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives this month revealed that it is proposing to put the ban on 5.56 mm 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.

Wednesday night, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, stepped in with a critical letter to the bureau demanding it explain the surprise and abrupt bullet ban. The letter is shown below.

Nude dancing can be defined as "art" and protected under the First amendment.

Why can't cartridges be defined as "arms" and thereby protected under the Second amendment?

Let's try that again.

Nude dancing can be defined as "speech" and protected under the First amendment.

Why can't cartridges be defined as "arms" and thereby protected under the Second amendment?

Yet some conservatives are sympathetic to the objection that Netanyahu did and end run to avoid the Whitehouse, to address congress.

Why?

As much as I hate to say it.
And I do hate to say it. Congress should ban Handguns capable of shooting 5.56 ammo.
At least temporarily.

Absolutely nothing. We will go full socialist, then totalitarian, then settle in for 2 generations of misery before people finally get hard enough to just not care if they live or die to get their freedom back.

We conservatives won’t even knock over a garbage can during a protest without fellow protesters lecturing us about the “moral high ground” (which is where freedom goes to die in this age of Alinsky). If we, as a mob, aren’t even willing to mess up the place where we are protesting, how scared do you think the other side can be of us?

We need to memorize Rules for Radicals and then we need to become radicals. If we don’t fight these Progs like our lives depend on it, then we might as well give up.

At what point do the rank and file at government agencies put their foot down — and refuse to follow Hussein’s illegal orders.

Unfortunately the rank and file at government agencies are populated with Liberal Union Groupies who are driven to build a better world in their own image.
