Without the proof, or even data that former military rifles were used in crimes or gun violence, the White House has decided today, through executive order, to ban the re-importation of hundreds of thousands of surplus rifles that were made here in the United States. Announced this morning at a press conference, Vice President Joe Biden said that they would halt the importation of american GI service rifles from the Korean War era.
This move is in line with the recent executive orders issues in an effort to reduce gun violence. But where this falls off the tracks is that there is no specific cases of one of these classic, military surplus rifles being used in a case of gun violence. There is also little to no data about these rifles being used in crimes.

"...An effort to reduce gun violence" is a feral government lie. It's a popular lie, but none the less a lie for being popular. The purpose of this new order is to deliver a hard slap across the face to the Second Amendment and all of us who believe it means exactly what it says.
Blind hatred never sees very far ahead.
This move has nothing to do with reducing gun violence, it is just another act to remove or deprive citizens of guns.
I’m hoping that when the military chooses a new sidearm that used Beretta M9’s will hit the market but Obama will probably have them destroyed.
FUBO and that Ape you call a wife.
2nd Amendment bump for later.......

And here's the illustration they used in that story:
Yeah, barry and eric, we know exactly what this is about.
They want to raise the prices on these rifles to price them out of reach like they did with ammo. The GOP did nothing about the ammo purchases and they will do nothing about this.
Maybe he’s trying to re-route them to the Syrian rebels.
The difference between the old USSR Pravda and the US msm is that the msm has better graphics and production.
I actually trust Pravda and Russia Today more than the alphabet channels.
Making law by executive fiat, along with delaying or changing existing law, using war powers without the consent of Congress, etc., etc. ARE high crimes and misdemeanors. This goes far beyond high school stunts like breaking into the opposition’s campaign headquarters or having sex with a Presidential Intern.
This guy has evolved into an illegal tyrant and needs to be impeached.
But aside from the handful of people who frequent sites like this,how many other Americans even care?
Since zero has taken up circumventing the Congress so he can rule by EO, let’s adjourn the Congress and save the wasted taxpayer dollars on their wages, staffs and perks. It isn’t as though they are doing anything meaningful, anyway.
Perhaps if the Congress is adjourned, the fatheads may wake up and take their power and authority back.
Nah, who’s kidding whom?? That would take spine and cajones and our elected wimps in Congress (applies to both parties) will never do what they should to restore the Constitution as the law of the land. Besides, letting zero rule by EO is easir than actually doing any work themselves!!!

There are two more major differences, Eagles6: we don't yet have five-year plans or May day parades. I imagine highly educated and well paid experts are working on plans for those right this minute.
