WASHINGTON, Oct 27 (Reuters) - The U.S. has stopped issuing export licenses for most civilian firearms and ammunition for 90 days for all non-governmental users, the Commerce Department said on Friday, citing national security and foreign policy interests.

The Commerce Department did not provide further details for the pause, which also includes shotguns and optical sights, but said an urgent review will assess the "risk of firearms being diverted to entities or activities that promote regional instability, violate human rights, or fuel criminal activities."

Reeves said she had not seen the Commerce Department take such a sweeping action like this before. "For sure they have individual country policies – but nothing like this," she said.

Just another attack on guns. A ban here, an emergency order there. Lake City stops all commercial sales of ammo drying up 30% of civilian 5.56. Larry Vickers gets charged, the ATF starts targeting Sheriffs who sign NFA forms for people. Operation chokepoint cuts off banking for gun companies...
And now this “temporary” export ban.

Self-defense is a human right, isn't it?

Too bad there is no real political opposition to the Satanists from the Uniparty.

They’re going to change the Economic system to socialism. They want to ban guns. And they’re going to mandate what you can drive.

Every single thing Biden has done, he was aided by the GOP.

His Peeps, his legislation, his Judges, all the crazy spending.

If domestic producers get left in a lurch, I’ll help out by buying some of their deeply discounted ammunition.

The Biden Administration is anti-gun. They are waiting to replace our conservative justices on the SCOTUS but they know they’ll probably have to wait until Gavin Newsom becomes President.
