****When Obama said, “We can’t wait for Congress to do its job. So where they won’t act, I will… We’re going to look every single day to figure out what we can do without Congress,” he wasn’t kidding. This is Tyranny!

**** April 23, 2013
****
****Over the course of the last month, while Americans were distracted with the threat of nuclear war on the Korean peninsula and the devastation wrought by the Boston bombings, President Obama was quietly working behind the scenes to craft laws and regulations that will further erode the Second Amendment.
****
****Congress, and thus We the People, may have unequivocally rejected federal legislation in March which aimed to outlaw most semi-automatic rifles, restrict magazine capacity, and force national registration, but that didn’t stop the President from ceding regulatory control over firearms importation to the United Nations just two weeks later. What the UN Arms Trade Treaty, passed without media fanfare by 154 counties, would do is to restrict the global trade of, among other things, small arms and light weapons. Opponents of the treaty argue that loopholes within the new international framework for global gun control may make it illegal for Americans to purchase and import firearms manufactured outside of the United States.
****
****To further his gun-grabbing agenda, however, President Obama and his administration didn’t stop there.
****
****Now they’re taking another significant step against Americans’ right to bear arms – and they’re doing it through Presidential Executive Action, a strategy that, once again, bypasses Congressional oversight and the legislative process.
****
****
****…it appears that the BHO Administration is taking executive action on firearms importation. Take a few minutes to read this: After Senate setback, Obama quietly moving forward with gun regulation. Here is the key portion of the article:
****
****
****“The Importation of Defense Articles and Defense Services — U.S. Munitions Import List references executive orders, amends ATF regulations and clarifies Attorney General authority “to designate defense articles and defense services as part of the statutory USML for purposes of permanent import controls,” among other clauses specified in heavy legalese requiring commensurate analysis to identify just what the administration’s intentions are. Among the speculations of what this could enable are concerns that importing and International Traffic in Arms Regulations [ITAR] may go forward to reflect key elements within the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.”[Emphasis added.]
****
****Depending on how it is implemented, the implications of this change could be huge. With the stroke a of a pen and without the consent of Congress, ATF bureaucrats could make ANY gun part or accessory (including magazines) or ammunition that were originally manufactured or perhaps even those designed for military use no longer legal for importation for civilian use. That might mean no more milsurp parts sets. No more milsurp magazines. No more milsurp ammo. No more milsurp optics. Perhaps not even spare firing pins. This could be ugly.
****
****I strongly recommend that you stock up on magazines, ammunition and spare parts for any of your imported military pattern guns, as soon as possible! Once an import ban is implemented, prices will skyrocket.

****Just five days ago the President vowed to push forward on gun control without Congress and Nancy Pelosi argued that no matter what Congress says, gun control is inevitable.
****
****This latest round of Executive Actions is what they meant.
****
****A direct on attack on the Second Amendment is difficult if not impossible, so they are trying to slither their way in through the backdoor by restricting international trade so we can’t import new firearms, by restricting access to accessories and gun parts, by heavily taxing ammunition and gun purchases, by mandating policies like forcing gun owners to have liability insurance, and of course, by identifying potentially dangerous gun owners and simply taking their firearms because of public safety concerns.
****
****The President recently suggested that the American people have spoken, and that they want guns to be restricted, banned and heavily regulated.
****
****If that’s so, then how is that a bipartisan Congress overwhelmingly rejected the President’s bid to restrict and outlaw private ownership of millions of weapons and gun accessories?
****
****Going through the United Nations and now implementing Executive Actions to bypass America’s Constitutionally mandated system of checks and balances is an act of desperation.
****
****Those who would take our rights have been left with no choice but to try and force their agenda upon us through dictatorial means.

***He's a legend in his own mind...lol
***Obama can do whatever he "thinks" he can do but in the final analysis he cannot do much of anything to degrade the Second Amendment. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are powerful tools and they've been challenged before without much success and this time is no different.
***If he attacks foreign trade and sales of guns/ammo he will be stepping into a mud puddle he doesn't want to step into. It's a multi-billion dollar business and arms manufacturers and dealers (both national and international), won't stand for it. So what ends up happening? Alot of talk and not much else...
***A bunch of empty boisterous gestures made by this administration
***and it's anti-gun proponents, just to attempt to placate the public and the anti-gun crowd and not changing much of anything. It's all rhetoric and if Obama ever really does make a serious effort to override Congress on this or any other piece of major legislation and starts making laws himself, that would constitute a tyrannical gesture and that can never be tolerated and would be immediate grounds for impeachment.
***
***So rest easy you Alarmists...Obama can talk the talk but he can't walk the walk.
***

**"Rest easy Alarmists?" Are you kidding? You're one of the biggest alarmists out there. Take your own advice while Obama takes all your guns away and incites civil war. What a joke.
**
*I am repeating myself here, but he also and constantly ignores, that the majority of US citizens is actually supporting the idea that gun legislation should be changed (for example wrt background checks).

Yeah well you can propose background checks and all the kinds of checks you agree with (as do most Americans) but the bottom line is that the gun advocates will have a problem with it. Thanks for voicing the voice of reason but that has apparently expired in the US.
