In a Sao Paolo, Brazil speech at the VTEX Digital Convention, Obama tells audience:
"Some of you may be aware our gun laws in the United States don’t make much sense.
Anybody can buy any weapon any time -- without much if any regulation, they can buy it over the Internet, they can buy machine guns."
The former president, 57, said the most difficult day of his eight years in the White House was after the 2012 school shooting in Newtown, Conn., when 20 elementary students and six staff were shot dead.
If you’re a Mexican..?
Obama’s employees have been PAID to buy machine-guns —and GRENADES..!— and DRIVE them over there for delivery.
For mass-shootings headlines.
A quick drone strike on this terrorist SOB would solve a lot of problems.
“A” machine gun. What a liar. I just ordered a dozen and the seller tossed in an extra just because. Of course through the corner NRA discount gun outlet. They’re on just about every corner all over the place. More than the old ‘photo-mats”. Was the audience glad to hear that? I know I would be if true. Hey obxxx. Sit down and shut up.
Pinging you for a good laugh, Dean.
NO THEY CAN’T BUT THEY COULD BUY THEM FROM THE MEXICAN CARTELS YOU SOLD THEM TO!
When he lies, he lies bigly.
I ordered an A-10 Warthog over the internet. I’ve contacted the Nigerian Minister of Defense about it several times but he’s out of town on secret business. He’ll get back to me when he returns.
Now to order one of those luscious Ukraian women who have been dying to meet me ...
Hmmm... let's see... With the exception of the first gun, every gun I own has been bought over the Internet.
Is there a gun you'd like to own? Type the manufacturer's name and model number into an Internet search. Lots of responses.
Gee whaddaya know? He just outright lied again. Imagine my surprise.
I hope those idiots in Brazil had to pay big time for that fool
The National Firearms Act did not ban machine guns, but the tax imposed upon them was enormous and unaffordable, adjusting for inflation it was equal to about $3,500 today.So, if O'bastard wanted to ban machine guns, he had EIGHT long, dreadful years during which he could have worked with Congress to amend the NFA. The schmuck has ZERO STANDING whatsoever to complain about what he DID NOT DO on his watch.To buy a machine gun under the 1934 National Firearms Act an individual needs to submit the following, and this procedure remains relatively unchanged even today: first, pay a tax of $200; then, fill out a lengthy application to register your gun with the federal government in duplicate; then, submit fingerprints, submit passport photographs, get your Chief Law Enforcement Official to sign your application (which is no longer in place) and then wait for the results of your background check to come back approved.
The next big piece of legislation pertinent to machine guns occurred in 1968 with the Gun Control Act. The Gun Control Act established that imported firearms which had no sporting purpose were not able to be sold to civilians. Machine guns as a whole were determined to have no sporting purpose, and, thus, any machine gun imported after 1968 are able to be owned only by dealers, military, and police agencies.
The last piece of machine gun legislation is to many the coup de grace, in 1986 the Firearm Owners’ Protection Act, which was intended to prevent the federal government from creating a registry of gun owners. At the last minute, William Hughes added an amendment that called for the banning of machine guns. Despite the controversial amendment, the Senate adopted H.R. 4332 as an amendment to the final bill. The bill was subsequently passed and signed on May 19, 1986 by President Ronald Reagan. Thus, Reagan’s signature banned the registration of new machine guns in the USA.
So what does this mean? Well, this is where it gets a little complicated. Machine guns are not illegal, but it is illegal to make and register new ones. There is no way around the May 19th, 1986 cutoff date. If the machine gun in question was made after that date you may not own it, unless you are a dealer.
There are three types of machine guns that determine the gun’s legal status. The first and most important to most people are going to be transferable, guns registered prior to May 19th, 1986 that are able to be owned by everyone. There are only 182,619 transferable machine guns, according to the ATF.
The Kenyanesian Usurper just can’t stop.
What are our extradition treaties with Brazil? Is he testing the waters?? Would love for Trump to cancel his passport.
” They checked your voting record. “
That means only Leftist/antifa (Dem) types can buy machine guns on the internet.
Fortunatly most of them will get the wrong end pointed at the enemy: Americans.
“ANY”??? lol
Wow, I didn’t know I could just order up a BAR over the internet! Maybe I should get several as it never hurts to have a backup or two. Perhaps Amazon Prime has them and I can get them in 2 days!
Clueless Obama is still Clueless
I believe you can buy antique guns over the net but not full automatics like Obongodongodumbass thinks.
