Obama urged to enforce ban on importing military-style firearms (Read 3267 times)

More BS...this time 80 House members wrote Obama urging him to use his executive authority to basically reenact the sunsetted AWB and expand the ban to include newly-developed AK-type pistols.

Quote
About 80 House members wrote a letter to President Obama Wednesday urging him to renew enforcement against the import of military-style, semiautomatic firearms. Under the 1968 Gun Control Act, they write, the president has broad authority to prohibit guns and ammunition from being imported into the country unless they are “generally recognized as particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes.”

“We urge you to once again fully enforce a ban on the import of military-style firearms and to expand the ban to include newly-developed AK-type pistols that combine the firepower of a rifle with the concealability of a pistol,” they wrote. “This new breed of pistol has absolutely no ‘sporting purpose’ and presents a clear threat to public safety.”

Hello all, Here is my letter to these 81 Cowards. Please provide input to improve this letter (down at the bottom), Also i am in the military and was wondering if there is anything prohibiting me from writing to these folks directly usning the bluntness below? I have a year and a half left and would really like to leave with an Honorable discharge lol. Thank you so much and lets keep up the good fight against these tyrants!



House Members,


My name is Rico Cintron, I am writing to you folks to address my disappointment in you. I am an American that believes in all of our rights here in America and especially the Right to bear arms. I feel you 81 House Members have committed an act of treason for urging President Obama to ban the Import of Military-Style Firearms. I believe that you 81 House Members could give a damn less about saving lives. You want control and you want tyranny to spread and breed. I know in my heart that you want the American people powerless and enslaved. Rights do not change with advances of technology! In my mind I see the people being distracted by garbage but, I warn you, patriots like myself are awake and aware! I support the people of the United States of America! If I were in your shoes, I would want the people to have an equal footing with tyrannical, power hungry degenerates. I urge all of you to remember your oaths! An oath that I have took and that I will always honor. Some Americans might let you molest their rights but MOST Americans are wide awake! If you truly care about saving lives (in which I highly doubt) you will address issues of violence and not a mere object. There is good and evil. Work on ridding the world of evil and there you will find success. Evil people will always find a way to commit unspeakable acts, whether these acts are with Explosives, firearms or in a most recent incident a mass stabbing. Banning will not solve anything. Look at Chicago Illinois, It was a criminal wasteland where the good and honest law abiding citizens were denied the right to bear arms for self-defense. That has changed and just recently, I saw an article on how a Chicago permit holder just saved a man’s life. I am disappointed with all 81 of you but, you can always change. Remember the people in which you serve, don’t tread on us!

-Rico Cintron

The earliest I see this occurring is after the 2014 elections. If the Dems either loose, or win, then he insulates his party from having to deal with this issue before Nov 7.

Speaking of which, I guess I should start shopping for my Vepr rifles now. He could use the Ukraine crisis to do an end run around this issue by banning Russian imports in "retaliation"

10 USC 47 §888 / UCMJ Article 88:
Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

And a DoD directive expanding Article 88 to apply to all came out awhile back.



You need to be very careful...Personally, I would not send that or any letter and limit your political expression/opinion to private (face-to-face) communication. At least until you're 110% sure of civilian status.
