The Shooter's Log ^ | July 18, 2014 | David Dolbee

On Wednesday—a day before the Malaysian airliner was shot down—President Obama quietly signed an executive order targeting Russian oil, natural gas, finance and defense companies. Hidden in the details, was a section that effectively bans AK-47s. As always, the devil is in the details, so read on for the straight scoop.

Odumbo can write anything he wants but WHO will be following those ‘orders”? He is only putting restrictions on exports.

I might argue with the Romainian AK’s being “fine”. Ha ha! The VEPR and Saiga shotguns are incredible.

I suppose that if you were brought up by communists and used lots of drugs then ran around with terrorists in Chicago you would agree with the pResident.

This is wrong.

They banned imports of new AK’s made in Russia.

You cannot buy or sell AK’s from that company. If you own you AKs outright, it is legal to own and sell them. If you receive a shipment of them from Russia and you owe the manufacturer on them, then they are banned.

Ask type weapons are produced just about everywhere. Non Russian arms are legal and importable.

Bet the remaining stocks fly off the shelves at absurd prices. Might be a good time to stock up on Wolf ammo if they ban that, too.

Well, now there are more Russian made AK-47's available for everyone else in the world who uses them.
Cheaper too, supply and demand and all that.
The third world countries thanks you 0bama.

I can’t decide who is really behind that plane that was downed. Obama or Putin. Either is quite capable of such an act.

If you do not think the Obama admin is capable then look to the cold callous and evil plan being carried on at the border. Absolutely no regard for human life couched in “caring”.

Yes...but no one reads the article. They read the headlines.

The Bulgarian AK is a good weapon if you can find one. This may be an opportunity for American gunmakers. I believe Century Arms is putting them out as we speak on their website.
