Commonly used and unregulated internet discussions and videos about guns and ammo could be closed down under rules proposed by the State Department, amounting to a "gag order on firearm-related speech," the National Rifle Association is warning.
In updating regulations governing international arms sales, State is demanding that anyone who puts technical details about arms and ammo on the web first get the OK from the federal government or face a fine of up to $1 million and 20 years in jail.
According to the NRA, that would include blogs and web forums discussing technical details of common guns and ammunition, the type of info gun owners and ammo reloaders trade all the time.
"Gunsmiths, manufacturers, reloaders, and do-it-yourselfers could all find themselves muzzled under the rule and unable to distribute or obtain the information they rely on to conduct these activities," said the NRA in a blog posting.

It is well past time to IMPOSE on the government the constitution’s 2n Amendment. SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED should be the rallying call!

Yall techies out there we have to come up with something new to retain communication. We can’t practically go back to letter writing, and if we did we would find new restrictions at the USPS. We have to have a new web or net that gets around the government.We will be regulated totally into silence if we do not. More and more subject areas will be ruled off limits due to “offensiveness” and “fairness’ until all we can talk about is Bruce Jenner and pornography.

i've always found it very creepy that King Barry I of Kenya loves to strike fascist posses to his adoring demographic, similar to the ones used by Mussolini, and virtually nobody in the media has ever called him out on it.

The complaints generated regarding the banning of AR ammo caused the gubmint to drop that idea pretty darn fast.

This is a first amendment issue, not a second amendment issue. Courts will slap it down in an instant.
Obama hates America, and hates the Constitution. He wants to rule like a Mugabe or a Chavez.
