Democrats in Congress wants Obama to ban imports http://www.kfoxtv.com/news/18755449/detail.html Assault Weapons Ban Wanted By Some Members Of Congress Jessica Molinar/KFOX Weekend Assignments Editor/Associate Producer More than 50 members of Congress sent a letter to President Barack Obama urging him to enforce a ban on importing assault weapons. The 53 lawmakers, all Democrats, say many of these guns are later smuggled south to arm Mexico's drug cartels. The assault weapons ban has been in place for close to two decades, but the lawmakers said in their letter The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has quietly abandoned the ban in recent years. The ATF declined to comment on the issue. The agency estimates 90 percent of weapons seized in Mexico come from the United States.

Re: Democrats in Congress wants Obama to ban imports 7.62X39 7.62x54R The price for that ammo will go through the roof if this picks up any major steam every body should buy a tin of that just for investment purposes if nothing else. T

Re: Democrats in Congress wants Obama to ban imports Are they talking about military surplus or are they wanting to ban high dollar FNs and HKs. I am against any ban new guns or old, I was just curious. I just made an investment on a FNAR and I will be really pissed if I can't get parts for it.

Re: Democrats in Congress wants Obama to ban imports If many of these guns are smuggled south into Mexico, then maybe these lawmakers ought to be spending their energy on border security.

I would imagine this is aimed more at your fairly inexpensive comblock weapons. FN and HK will just be a bonus.

That would be the answer if this was really about smuggled automatic weapons. But of course, it is not. It's about another way to punish criminals by removing weapons from the rest of us.

Re: Democrats in Congress wants Obama to ban imports While there may be some specialized weapons (.50 cal) that are heading South, those 90% plus statistics of US weapons being used by the drug cartels are efn propaganda blsht! Oh there are masses of weapons being smuggled into Mexico on the Southern border, only problem is that it is Mexico's Southern border, not ours. I'd love to know where to get the fully automatic AKs, RPGs and hand grenades that the cartels are using. The last time I checked, my local WalMart was all out:sarc: This is nothing more but another lie to come after our LEGAL arms up here.:banghead:

Got me an 880 round, two pack of 7.62X54R from ammunitiontogo last night. The good Russian surplus stuff. I like the Russian and Bulgarian surplus, I find it to be very consistent. $234.00 for 880 rounds, shipped. :yippee: What I'm having a problem finding is the stupid can opener. Last time I had to borrow one from the local shop. Blorp

Re: Democrats in Congress wants Obama to ban imports If you get the 2-pack case the opener should be included. Also, the ammo is consistent but damn, they beat the shit out of my last order and around 70 rounds of one tin were ruined and I haven't opened the other banged up tin to see the damage in that one. The opener was in there, though.
