Sanctions to bar import of Russian-made firearms, magazines, & ammo?

[Cujo0920]

Leave it to Congress-critters to use these sanctions against Russian "entities" involved in arming Syria as a back-door means of barring the import of Russian-made firearms, magazines, and ammunition.

Sanctions on arms and oil sales to Assad: Targeting any person that the President of the United States determines has knowingly participated in or facilitated a transaction related to the sale or transfer of military equipment, arms, petroleum, or petroleum products to the Assad regime.

Person is defined within the actual text of the bill as any "person or entity."

Arguably this also targets Iran — giving at least some political cover for the idea — nonetheless it also lumps Russia in for stiff U.S. sanctions.

Russia has become a huge exporter of fuel and weapons to Syria, and Syria one of its biggest customers.
