    Obama exploited the conflict in Ukraine to target the importation of the popular AK line of firearms manufactured by Kalashnikov Concern in Izhmash, Russia. The unconstitutional ban includes the Saiga line of rifles and shotguns.

    The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) attempted to soften the blow by stating the executive order does not outlaw Kalashnikov firearms legally purchased in the United States prior to the ban.

    The OFAC, according to its website, "administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on US foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign countries and regimes, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and other threats to the national security, foreign policy or economy of the United States.”

    The criminalization of an entire line of foreign manufactured firearms is possible under “national emergency powers” and there is no appeal process.

    “Many of the sanctions are based on United Nations and other international mandates, are multilateral in scope, and involve close cooperation with allied governments,” according to the Treasury Department.

    “American civilians are buying as many AK47s from Russia’s top armory as the Russian military and police,” the Daily Mail reported in 2012. “The surge in sales of Russian assault rifles and shotguns are fueled by firearms enthusiasts who are paranoid about the weapons being banned in the United States.”

    The paranoia about the government unilaterally outlawing an entire class of firearms has now come true.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Now all Obama needs to do is to impose sanctions on every other nation that manufactures guns, including the US. It's an end run around the second amendment.

    The Second Amendment has nothing to do with self defense. It has nothing to do with subsistence hunting, or shooting for sport. It has nothing to do with ballroom dancing.

    The Second Amendment's sole purpose (by insuring that every private citizen may be armed if he or she so chooses) is to prevent traitors in our government from enslaving us.

    It's really the only reason America is still standing.

    You must not own guns. Sounds like the guy on the other forum talking shit about weed. Until you can realize what the right to bare arms is will be the time you understand why people are flipping out.

    Trade sanctions on Russia = an attack on the 2nd amendment.

    Right. And if you are anti-abortion you should vote against mass transit because some low-income skank might ride the bus to Planned Parenthood! :crazy:

    People get hung up on one issue - and then try to shoe-horn every other issue into that narrow perspective. Bad silliness.

    BTW - check out on-line gun dealers. A high percentage of the AK clones sold in the US aren't even made in Russia and will be unaffected! :lol:

    The AK-47 is a helluva weapon for novices. You can (and I have) literally buried it in mud, pulled it out, loaded it, and send 7.62 downrange.

    Tolerances are garbage on it, so it's not for precision sniping, but the thing can take a lickin' and keep on doing what it was made to do.

    Wow, I guess I should have been a little more clear. I thought the Infowars article was a complete overreaction.

    It is still legal to buy, sell, trade and own AK-47s in this country. The gun has not been outlawed.

    The dodge is bringing up RPGs as some argument on why legislation should ban guns. How many Americans own RPGs? Now how many own assault rifles? I own a AR-15 and assortment of pistols and rifles. In fact, im going to take my kids out shooting a thousand rounds this morning. I will ask the firing range if there are RPGs for sale. I may just pick one up, since its my constitutional right to own one.

    It's not a dodge at all. You have to draw the line some where, where do you draw it?

    So I will ask again - Do you think US citizens should be able to buy RPGs?

    It's true. People are panicking because Obama is trying to take their guns away! You should ask your buddy to sell you a couple of them. You can resell them in a week and make a nice profit.
