Obama to ban bullets by executive action, threatens top-selling AR-15 rifle

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.

We are being pushed toward another revolution and that’s what Obama wants so he can declare martial law and take over as dictator, cancelling any elections...Congress will not stop this traitor....

[MHGinTN]

Widener’s still had Israeli 5.56 in 1200 round cases for around 550 a couple of days ago ...

[FatherofFive]

Ban one, no reason not to ban them all.

[Blood of Tyrants]

This is what happens when Congress unconstitutionally gives government agencies (controlled by the president) the power to make rules with the weight of law.

DOWN WE GO!!!!!!

[Biggirl]

And my predictions of a future violent revolt in the next couple of years I am afraid will come true.

[meadsjn]

... immediately driving up the price of the bullets and ...

I'm rich!!! I'm rich!!!

... but not ready to liquidate, yet.

[Starboard]

The slow descent into tyranny is about to get much quicker.

With all due respect, its not so slow anymore. He senses weakness in the congress and is putting the pedal to the mettle. We are on the precipice of becoming a dictatorship.

So what is your excuse for 2014? Seems we loaded up Congress, but what is that getting us?

[TXDuke]

According to the article, any rifle caliber that can be used in a handgun form (i.e. AR-15 handgun platform) will be banned. This would include 5.56, .223, and could possibly include larger calibers such as .308. Of course, the admin is keeping the specifics secret.

[Lazamataz]

Paul Bedard, I’m on your side but you are bs-ing here. This is about Green Tip ammo, not all .223... and surprisingly, the BATF actually makes a damned good case on why the green tip had to go.

Green tip is AP, and AP cannot be sold for pistols. They exempted AP Green Tip .223 because in 1986, when the exemption was issued, there were no AR pistols. Now there are.

And dude, I am 100% pro-gun. I dont believe ANY ammo bans are cool. But, at least they were consistent and didn’t make up law (this time)

[Major Matt Mason]

If Mitt Romney actually had a message and some vigor, maybe he would have won. Instead, we got the usual GOPe mush that has proven so successful in the past.

*****************
Yep, he’s looking for an excuse to do this. All in the name of “promoting national stability” of course.

[Lazamataz]

Bedard is leaving out an important point. It's AP ammo that's getting the treatment.

This is fear porn.

So, this is your only excuse for those POS “conservatives” who allowed a Marxist like Obama another 4 years to finish his destruction on America...really?

[Starboard]

Exactly right. And well said.

[wetgundog]

Heil Hitler, you dog eating, half-White, Muslim traitor.

[reg45]

And if President Romney were assaulting our basic freedoms, the main stream media would be attacking him for it.

[riri]

Some days more than one.
