‘Obama to ban bullets by executive action, threatens top-selling AR-15 rifle
It’s starting.
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 proposing to put the ban on 5.56 mm 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….’
Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

I don’t know what they’re bitching about.
They got the right to bear arms, but nobody said nothing about no ammunition.
But seriously, the more of this Gestapo crap the better. It’ll bring the sleeping giant closer to waking.
This is Obama being the little needle dicked jerk he is nothing more.An AR can be configured to shoot a variety of calibers,the “AK15″ a budd and I just built has worked out to be very reliable.All the power of an AK with the accuracy of and AR= 2” groups at 100yards.
Obama I believe is headed for a smackdown,things are building and I believe reaching a tipping point.The next big terrorist attack(I believe there is one coming) here and he’s toast.
“Obama I believe is headed for a smackdown,things are building and I believe reaching a tipping point.”
I pray you’re right, Darin. I also pray that the smackdown comes in 100gr@2500fps.
Nah,I don’t want him shot,that would just give the nutroots left more ammo against the 2A.
No,struck by lightning on the Golf course would be poetic.The media dismissed the jihadi wannabe who said he wanted to off him.One of the talking heads said “oh he’s crazy if he thinks he could have ever gotten close to the president” guess they forgot about the guy who jumped the WH fence and ran smooth up in the WH unannounced
Shot would encourage the others. Lightning is just a random act of nature.
Or a not so random act of a higher power.
From what I’ve read, the ban is against “green tip” AP ammo, which is not standard AR-15 ammo and is, in fact, banned at most gun ranges due to having a steel insert. There were rumors that the ATF was going to ban green tip due to some company, Kel Tec, I think. bringing out a .223 “pistol”, as apparently there’s already a law about no AP pistol ammo. This was all out there before Obama apparently decided to take credit for it. (Corpse at every funeral). The funny part is that he’s gratuitously energizing the 2nd Amendment folks, which is usually bad news for Democrats.
Keltec AKA the “Bang,click,click,bang gun company”
xm855 “green tip” is just NATO spec milsurp ammo.It’s full on Geneva “humane” ammunition intended to wound,rather than kill.It’s nothing special,it will poke a hole in a car door,but so will .22lr.This whole thing was the result of Obama “ordering” the ATF to come up with a list of executive actions he could take without congressional approval.It’s just Obama being an a–hole because he can.
There’s another angle. I can’t find the source but apparently there may be some vested business interests within the bATFags who will benefit massively from a fire-sale on green tip ammo.
That’s possible,it got cheap right before Christmas,I bought several 420 rd cans of Federal for $150/pop.
I kind of suspect collusion in the case of those M-1 Garands not being re imported from Korea because it would blow the bottom out of the market if they were.
My AR is 300 blk out, .30cal projectiles with a necked down .223 case.
Such a versatile platform, barrel and upper swaps and multiple calibers on the lower receiver.
Horse – Bolted
Match –
Agreed,I wasn’t a fan until I got hold of one,now I am hooked.A .300 upper is on my wish list too.
Whether or not the ban can be effective is of lesser importance than the fact that the Squatter-in-Chief is behaving like some third-world dictator.
And getting away with it.
EXCEPT – Obama is dictator of the most powerful country in the world with a war machine to match its superpower status.
Heretofore, all great dictators once they have control of their countries turn the dogs of war loose on mankind.
Would Obama be any different
Obama is a mangy dog but he has MORE nuclear teeth than any country in the world under his direct control
Internet rumor has it that the USA has turned on the nuke assembly lines once again…
Yes, he told us in advance what he planned to do. Few were listening.
The following is a narrative taken from a 2008 Sunday morning televised “Meet The Press’.
From Sunday’s 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, Televised “Meet the Press” THE THEN Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag.
General Bill Gann’ USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn’t follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.
The General stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171…
During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, “Stand and Face It”.
Senator Obama replied :
“As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as taking sides.” “There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression…” ”The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing.”
Obama continued: “The National Anthem should be ‘swapped’ for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song ‘I’d Like To Teach the World To Sing’. If that were our anthem, then, I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as ‘redesign’ our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It’s my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of warring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails – – – perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments ……”
When I Become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts.We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations of Islam, an unfair injustice which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past”.
”Of course now, I have found myself about to become The President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside . I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country’s First black Family.Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America.”
Yes, you read it right.
Dale Lindsborg, Washington Post
Un
frigging
believable.
I’ve noticed that being a typical psychopath, Obama always lies, so he speaks of lovingkindness CHANGE in the nation and the world, Hitler did the same thing as an up and coming politician, but the reality of Obama rule as dictator, as was Hitler, will be the iron fist, first directed at America…and then the world.
AMERIKA: THE FOURTH REICH
I HOPE OBAMA AND THE LEFTIST RULING CLASS KNOW THE MEANS WAR
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. BUT WHEN A LONG TRAIN OF ABUSES AND USURPATIONS PURSUING INVARIABLY THE SAME OBJECT EVINCES A DESIGN TO REDUCE THEM UNDER ABSOLUTE DESPOTISM, IT IS THEIR RIGHT, IT IS THEIR DUTY, TO THROW OFF SUCH GOVERNMENT, AND TO PROVIDE NEW GUARDS FOR THEIR FUTURE SECURITY. (Emphasis mine)
Timing is everything: NETFLIX just released Season Three of “House of Cards” which is based on the British version that aired over a decade ago. The plot for both versions is that an ambitious Prime Minister (British version) President (American version) come out of nowhere to become dictators of their respective countries.
I’m in process of watching the American version on NETFLIX and if it holds true to the British version – The Fearless Leader gets the Julius Caesar treatment by trusted people around him…”CEASAR, BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH.”
This fictional mini-series is alleged to be a hit with the people in the Obama Regime and among the Leftist Ruling Class of America, who have compared themselves to the various actors in the drama at cocktail parties. Also, according to Internet rumor control, NETFLIX will NOT have it’s speed reduced by the FCC.
QUID PRO QUO, heh
That is UNLESS the dictator-president DOESN’T get the old knife in the back on the last episode
“Even you, Brutus Then fall, Caesar” – a scene to warm the hearts of all patriots and republicans
