Obama to ban bullets by executive action, threatens top-selling AR-15 rifle
Washington Examiner2-26-2015 ^ | 2-26-2015 | Paul Bedard

It’s started.

As promised, President Obama is using executive actions to impose gun control on the nation, targeting the top-selling rifle in the country, the AR-15 style semi-automatic, with a ban on one of the most-used AR bullets by sportsmen and target shooters.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives this month revealed that it is putting the ban on 5.56mm ammo on a fast track, immediately driving up the price of the bullets and prompting retailers, including the huge outdoors company Cabela’s, to urge sportsmen to urge Congress to stop the president.

There’s a difference though. If he tries to prosecute citizens for something that he had no authority to make illegal, it’s an automatic court challenge that he can’t bypass or forestall.

When issuing illegal orders, it’s best to do them on things that won’t prompt instant court challenges.

They’re going to “help” you by “investing” your retirement savings for you.

Probably import a few million muslims from the ME to reduce the ISIS threat there.

Key question: is M855 AP or not? what constitutes a “core”? is the steel component a “core”...or a “tip”?

To express an unpopular opinion: there’s an overreaction here. We’ve been expecting this one for a long time. More like people are looking for “the big attack on our rights” and trying to make this one it. Yeah, M855 is popular - but not dominantly so. They’re not after all .223 et al yet (not saying they won’t be). It’s not the end of feeding the AR15, it’s not the end of “can penetrate soft armor”, etc. Another battle over RKBA, yes, but not the war.

What it _does_ do is get the base motivated, and provide another opening to fight back, with a vague misconstrual of a poorly-defined legal term giving a court a chance to apply “strict scrutiny” and close this line of attack.

Keep making donations and phone calls to a corrupt government, hoping to change a corrupt government.

The ONLY "chance" we had of defeating Obama's agenda in 2012 was to nominate a conservative.

A major problem is that we had no A-team candidates in the running. Sarah Palin chose to sit out the election and Jim De Mint, once considered presidential timber, had vanished from the scene. All we had left were has-beens and never-will-bes.

Just aim for their heads.

Perhaps in other elections. However it was important to get rid of Obama by any means necessary. Romney could have been reigned in. Obama can’t be. He can do anything he wants, and no one will do a damned thing. Or a judge will rule something he does unlawful, and he does it anyways.

"In this case I’ll put the blame on those who stayed home; they had a choice to remove a known Marxist, but failed to act."

In this case you are exactly right!

2nd amendment is next in Ø's queue . . .
