Surely, you jest, Obama. Loosening restrictions on foreigners buying guns while demanding gun control for citizens? Even this is below the level of stupid you normally operate at:
A little known change was made to gun control laws but nothing that would benefit American citizens.
In 2011, the Obama Administration decided to change a 1998 law that forced foreigners to prove they lived in the country for 90 days before purchasing a firearm.
For some reason, Obama feels that United States federal law shouldnât have âdifferent gun-control rules for noncitizens.â
SAY WHAT?
From AllGov:
The Obama administration has decided to eliminate a 1998 restriction on the sale of guns to foreigners, claiming federal law does not allow the government to have different gun-control rules for noncitizens.
In a letter to firearms dealers, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) said it would no longer require sellers to obtain proof from foreign buyers that they have lived in the state for 90 days. The rule was originally instituted after a disturbed Palestinian, 69-year-old Ali Abu Kamal, admitted to the United States on a legal nonimmigrant visa, bought a 380-caliber Beretta semiautomatic handgun in Florida and, on the observation deck of the Empire State Building in New York City, shot to death one person and injured six others.
âThe Department of Justice ⦠has recently concluded that, as a matter of law, applying a more stringent State residency requirement for aliens legally present in the U.S. than for U.S. citizens is incompatible with the language of the [Gun Control Act],â the ATF letter reads.

Renounce your citizenship in order to buy a Gun?????
Looks like we have entered the twilight zone...
If you renounce your citizenship, can they even deport you, and if so to where?
bkmk
Renounce, buy mass quantities, then renounce your renouncement.
Rinse and repeat.
No crazier than the current administration policy effort.
Apparently there were marches this past weekend on the anniversary of Sandy Hook (orange walk, MAGS/Mothers Against Guns or MDA/Moms Demand Action).
Local morning news interviewed one ‘leader’ who of course wasn’t against 2nd Amendment, wasn’t for taking anyone’s guns but wanted better background checks so ... terrorists... wouldn’t get guns.
The better to kill us with, my dear.
Please tell me this is not true, this is satire right.
0bama WANTS mass casualty attacks involving firearms so as to justify his gun grab agenda. Anyone who doesn’t believe this has their head up their arse in denial. Why do you think the DHS KNOWINGLY ALLOWS TERRORISTS INTO OUR COUNTRY and allows our BORDER TO BE WIDE OPEN? It’s a MIRACLE there haven’t been more attacks than there already are.
And got EXACTLY the results he wanted.
The obama voters , supporters, and worshipers won’t. The rest already know. The question is, what are they willing to do about it. Because any action taken will require a price to be paid. obama is going to do what he said, if elected, he would do. To wit: Destroy the United States.
Not a surprise from O-*Death To America*-bama.
Another day, another Democrat trying to kill Whitey. It’s all they got.
Not really. This only applies to legal residents and they still have to jump through all the same hoops as citizens.
Invasion USA..
