BATFE Wants "Report of Multiple Rifle Sales"

[Bailey Guns]

In order to stop the illegal flow of guns southward across the US/Mexico border BATFE wants to implement a requirement to have dealers report multiple sales of rifles that:

• Accept a detachable magazine
• Are .22 caliber or larger
• Are purchased by the same individual within 5 consecutive days

Looks like the white house put a stop to this earlier this summer because of the potential for causing problems during the mid-term elections. However, the BATFE wants them to revisit the issue now.

I really don't have the words to describe how angry this makes me.

Read it, still steaming.

Some of it sounds like the SS tactics.

Never let a crisis go to waste.

Leave the borders wide open but infringe upon the rights of your citizens.
Nice work .Gov!

The spooky part- one of the major influences to the BATF's decision was a series of reports from Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) which our Governor Elect, John Dickenpooper is a signature founding member.
If you don't think he will sell us out as far as 2A issues go-Wise up.
I would not be the lest surprised to see Colorado follow Kalifornia's examples.

Time for the .gov to go assist the Federales. This crisis is going to spill over to our borders with serious consequences. Latest reports show car bombings and "terrorist" tactics on part of the cartels.
Sounds like a job for U.S. Special Forces, but hey what do I know? I won't be visiting Mexico anytime soon. Good luck Mexican Marines & Army.

I Have been accused on more than one occasion of over simplifying things. I still contend that we enforce the Laws we have.

Crazy, I know

But as I understand it, the weapons that they(cartels) are acquiring from the U.S. are straw purchases and aren't those already illegal?

+1. I wonder what is better: Accepting a little bit more of gun control or getting a new "assault weapon" (dumbest term ever) ban?

I don't really think it's a question of which one is better. Every time we accept a little more (known to the left as "compromise") they just move on to their next item that they want "compromise" on. At this point, we have laws that cover everything they're whining and complaining about. I'm 100% convinced that they don't enforce the current laws solely so they can enact more, in the name of "protecting" us. We DON'T need more laws. Period. This is all just more smoke screen on the part of those who want to make us defenseless.
