Get mad: Obama's EO closes "loophole" in registering firearms to trusts, bans import of some guns

Anyone have more info? I'm on my phone, the article is bullshit.

FIFY.

This is the first I've heard of it...

"One new policy will end a government practice that lets military weapons, sold or donated by the U.S. to allies, be reimported into the U.S. by private entities"

I don't know anything about this, but if you always wanted an M1 Garand or Carbine through any importer, it may be time to get 'er done.

Meh, nothing else for them to worry about so why not?




Kiss the Korean Garands bye bye, curious if "parts kits" are history, C&R??

So does this end NFA trusts? Or were there actually felons that set up trusts so they could buy guns (not sure how that would exempt them from the laws against mere possession, not just purchase).

Son of a bitch.

This is beyond ridiculous. Do they really think that criminals are using trusts to purchase suppressors and short barreled rifles legally?

The checked cashed on my first suppressor on my trust just a few weeks ago. Are they going to make me submit finger print cards for pending transfers I wonder? What I figured was going to take a year is going to be multiple years now!

The big question I have is what (if any) impact this will have on NFA items already in a trust. Do people have to get retroactive fingerprints and fill out 4473s?

I don't for a moment think they actually believe the shit they say to the press but they're getting their false story of criminals using trusts out into the public. The larger issue is that they want to control access to guns and they saw the spike in NFA trusts so law-abiding citizens could legally pass their firearms on to who they want with a minimum of government interference. It shouldn't be any surprise to anyone on this board that Obama and his minions lie repetitively and automatically.

I think it sure sounds like a bad tactical move on his part. Sure it "sounds good" to some in the press that he's "doing something." But on this side, it just pisses off people with money. Your new younger and less well off gun owner isn't investing to M1 Garands, setting up trusts to buy a AOW, SBR, SBS, MG, or suppressor. Only men and women with some cash are doing that. If they are stopped from exercising that right it will just make them more politically active.

Seems like The One is acting like a kid poking a bee hive and doesn't know what bees might do.

Don't deceive yourself, they know exactly what will happen, and are probably planning on it happening! Nothing they do is on accident, nor is it inconsequential, no matter how 'harmless' it may appear...
