Watch for cheap Russian ammo to be next. Once again prices on Saiga rifles and shotguns will skyrocket.

Now just gang members will have AK’s....Boy! That’ll show those Russians Obama. Umm, umm!

[Iscool]

I would question whether this is legal but then who is going to stand up in congress and dispute it???

[MinuteGal]

A couple of executive orders in the last few days....buried (by intention) under all the sensational headlines this week.

The deluge is starting.

I hope someone is keeping count.

God save us in the next two years from his phone, his pen and his marxist agenda.

Well, I guess my China made MAK-90 is ok then.

Patiently waiting for the jack booted kick at my door.

Once again prices on Saiga rifles and shotguns will skyrocket.

Reading the firearms boards, the wholesale prices about doubled immediately. (They're still cheap, just not as cheap.)

I see that Obama didn't cut off imports of strategic minerals from Russia -- he's not -- make that all of his advisers are not -- that stupid -- and we import very little oil from Russia.

The problem with these in-laws is that they NEVER get overturned. This ban under the guise of sanctions will be the only part of these “sanctions” still enforced in five years.

[Organic Panic]

And unless ANYONE of the gonadless GOP leadership stop this immediately Obama’s foot is in the door to ban firearms. First just foreign. Like Beretta, Bersa, and XD. Then why stop there? Ban crossing state line?

Who will stop him? Eric Holder??? John Boner?

[AZLiberty]

As a silver lining, someone must see this as an entrepreneurial opportunity. The design of the AK-47 is no secret, and surely some robotic factory is on the build as we freep.

[murron]

I read somewhere that this isn’t true. It wasn’t Snopes or anything like that. I’ll try to find out where I read this.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

A big question is since the older models of AK are out of patent, will a US manufacturer make a high quality version?

While some early Russian makes were pretty good quality, soon quality went downhill, and their foreign manufacturers cranked out some worthless rifles.

Today, US manufacturers could not only make a good quality rifle, but a very high quality rifle. There likely are some people out there who would shell out $20k for a rifle, if it was really spectacular.

Mr. "I've got a pen and a phone" style of law making. Some countries refer to it as a Monarchy, others a Dicktator.

Gun Control in the US ,Disguised as Sanctions against Russia , LOL

[caveat emptor]

Obama Signs Executive Order Banning AK-47s. While signing an executive order to impose new sanctions on Russia, President Obama used his pen to also further his agenda of gun control by including a ban of parts used to build or repair Russian AK-47s.

Not all of them, unless the EO went beyond Russian AKs. One of my sons recently bought a Serbian AK 47. There are many others. Here's three.

Serbian.


Chinese.


Rumanian.

[El Laton Caliente]

The order just mentions Izmash and the Saiga’s; I wonder if it includes the Molot factory and the VEPR’s?
