Or just practice our own “repeal” of an unconstitutional law.

It was supposedly to punish China for some trade violation but it was clearly meant to punish American Gun owners.

Those guns were of excellent quality. Maybe very good is closer but they were not junkers by any means. The M1911s quickly obtained a very fine reputation both for the quality of workmanship and the quality of the steel.

I forgot another one. They made a nice M-14 except the early stocks were poorly made. The metal work was fine. I think many people swapped out the stocks for original M-14 plastic ones.

And when the lefties scream about how it has nothing to do with military weapons, then we can say “great, in that case ‘street sweepers’ are legal again, right?”.

A handgun has now been manufactured that chambers a 5.45×39 round.

At the urging of William J. Bennett, the director of national drug control policy, the Administration suspended imports of certain types of semiautomatic assault rifles in March. The President [41] expanded that temporary ban as part of a broader anticrime program that he announced in April, and said he would make it permanent for imported weapons that did not have a legitimate sporting use.

The smell of the commie ‘RATS’ fear is becoming more intense after their fiasco in Nevada. These “DemocRAT Congressmen” are starting to wet their pants more frequently. Pee Babies, Pee!

Most of our smokeless powder comes from off shore, just imagine if they included that with ammo restrictions.

Won’t banning weapon imports hurt Leland Yee’s gun trafficking business?

Led by Reps. John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI)

"Drooling" John Conyers will be 85 years old in May.

He's senile.

“If senile old John Conyers crapped his pants in a forest, and there was no one around to smell it, would he really have crapped his pants at all?”

James Bond has been using them for DECADES!

Do these Democrat congressmen think such a ban will prevent their Democrat constituents, the drug running gangs, from obtaining Military-Style, Semiautomatic Firearms? I don’t think so, given the gun running Democrats we have seen so far.

Assault type rifles are used in a minute amount of crime. Handguns are the favorite for criminal activities.

The focus on rifles is to deprive the citizen of the pure intent of the 2d Amendment, to defend against foreign enemies or a totalitarian government.

Nevada has them scared now, along with the fact that citizens are refusing to register their guns in blue states, openly defying unconstitutional authority. Law enforcement agencies are refusing to enforce unconstitutional law.

A red line is being drawn, and unlike the obamanation, the citizens are not going to redraw that line.

Like in Nevada, the fascist feds will have to withdraw or face dire consequences.

The king has banned the importation of 5.45 Russian. 7.62 x 39 is soon to follow. The "pistol" in question is basically a short barreled rifle without a stock.
