The Juche style god-king of America is now threatening a very unconstitutional executive action. Under orders from his magesty, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is planning on banning bullets for A-15s as early as this month.
It’s started.
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 putting the ban on 5.56mm 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.
Wednesday night, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, stepped in with a critical letter to BATFE demanding it explain the surprise and abrupt bullet ban. The letter is shown below.
The National Rifle Association, which is working with Goodlatte to gather co-signers, told Secrets that 30 House members have already co-signed the letter and Goodlatte and the NRA are hoping to get a total of 100 fast.
“The Obama administration was unable to ban America’s most popular sporting rifle through the legislative process, so now it’s trying to ban commonly owned and used ammunition through regulation,” said Chris W. Cox, executive director of the NRA-ILA, the group’s policy and lobby shop. “The NRA and our tens of millions of supporters across the country will fight to stop President Obama’s latest attack on our Second Amendment freedoms.”

Groups like the National Shooting Sports Foundation suggest that under BATFE’s new rule, other calibers like popular deer hunting .308 bullets could be banned because they also are used in AR-15s, some of which can be turned into pistol-style guns. “This will have a detrimental effect on hunting nationwide,” said the group.
Please contact the NRA and your local Congressman to get the ball rolling to undue this illegal act. Guns are the only thing standing between our liberty and a Feudal style tyranny. This is a direct attack on our Constitutional rights to have the means to protect our lives and property. Hopefully, the NRA and other gun groups take the BATF and the Obama regime to court over this. Of all the illegal executive actions, this is the one that threatens our very freedom.
Tell your neighbors and friends to write to their congressmen as well. This is a very dangerous move and if it not stopped, Obama will issue more executive actions against our civil right to bear arms!

Besides eroding gun rights, today the FCC imposed net neutrality which is government regulation of the internet.
We did it! The FCC just voted to stop the slow lane!
After over a year of campaigning, decision-makers at the U.S. FCC just made an historic ruling to ban Internet slow lanes.
The stakes couldn’t have been higher: with so many websites based in the U.S., the future of the entire Internet hung in the balance.
Another victory for the Statists.
