82 House Democrats want Obama to Ban Imports of Military-Style Firearms

President Obama has been asked to stop the importation of what 82 House Democrats believe to be “military-style firearms” such as the AK-47. They want to stop gun crime in Mexico. Maybe they would be more successful at stopping gun violence in Mexico if they fired Holder and revamped the ATF.

The ban “would require no congressional action as the President has very broad authority under the 1968 Gun Control Act to prohibit the importation of firearms and ammunition unless they are generally recognized as particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes.”

Led my Eliot L. Engel (D-NY) and John Conyers Jr. (D-MI),they sent a letter to President Obama “urging him to renew enforcement of the ban on imported military-style firearms that was previously enforced during the H.W. Bush and Clinton administrations.”

George H W Bush banned the import of some in his term.

Chinese AK-47
Chinese M-14 (M-1A)
Chinese .45 auto pistol
Steyer AUG
FN FAL
Daewoo .223
Valmet
and many others.

We should get those names, post them in a register, and make sure they never get elected for anything again. Traitorous scum

“The militia from several different locals in these United States were called and showed up,,,”

And their IDs/organizations are now at the top of the list for preemptive before the next time - in my opinion - .

[Scrambler Bob]

Note that Norma is importing .22 ammo to fill the void.

Too pricey for me.

Reviews (on Midway) show it is not ready for prime time.

[Sacajaweau]

I would guess the plan is....our government will buy the arms and sell them across the seas to the highest bidder.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Screw them. If they want to ban imports, they need to ban the importation of illegal aliens.

Did these idiots not see what just happened in Nevada?

Just keep it up fellas, the day is coming. Soon.

Now, since when in the history of America, do we, the American People, allow COMMUNISTS to tell us ANYTHING???

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Just paint the guns pink and they won’t look so military.

[Lazamataz]

Look for increased urgency in gun confiscation efforts after the Bundy ranch showdown.

[Ouderkirk]

Most AK’s are made here as PCR-80’s.

[elcid1970]

Good to know! I’m a commie-gun lover since Vietnam.

The AK was built of steel & wood. The M-16 was a large plastic & alloy toothbrush.

[pleasenotcalifornia]

All versions of AK can be made here but quite a few are imported here google “Centerfire Systems” in Versailles KY.

Note to Obama and gungrabbing dems...

It’s TOO LATE, the American People are armed as their
forefathers reccommended.

Still, you can try and take them...
I would advise against it though, many of
us are old soldiers and dieing in combat
would come as somewhat of a relief after
seeing what old age is like in a socialist state.

[Charles Martel]

Most AK’s are made here as PCR-80’s.

No large-scale domestic manufacture of com-bloc ammo calibers, though... yet.

[Last Dakotan]

That probably includes accepting back the US made M-1 Garrand Rifle’s from Korea that they are trying to return to us.

The ones we gave them that they are selling back to us so they can buy more domestically produced weapons? No thanks.
