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.

Sorry...I missed it. That's what I get for searching/posting at 0440.

what they are very quiet about is the fact that only a small portion of the firearms captured from cartels could be traced, and of those only a small portion came from north of the border.


the idea that drug soldiers are equipped exclusively with guns from the U.S. is a blatant lie.

If I had the money I'd buy 10 AR's then give the atf agent the finger.

Ah but you must buy FULLY automatic one's, that is what the cartels are getting from the "alleged" gun smugglers in the US.

However investigators found that for some reason most of the FULLY automatic weapons the drug criminals had seemed to come from Brazil. Hmm who woulda thunk.

N/P,, You both were fairly close in time anyway..

You know this whole situation with Mexico is asinine. I recall reading a year or so ago that the US had wanted serial numbers of firearms that Mexico had seized and Mexico refused to provide the numbers.
A large amount of Mexican military personnell are employed by the cartels or they have just AWOL'd and went to the cartels.
They take their weapons with them.
We supply the Mexican military with arms so yes, the majority of M4's and M-16's are in fact coming from here.
Plus look at the economics- why would a cartel purchaser come to the US and drop a grand on a decent AR and go through the hassle of smuggling it back when that same grand will buy a case of AK's from any number of sources?
Just a week or so ago "Border Wars" had an episode where they popped a vehicle with 5 or 6 WASR's stashed throughout that supposedly was headed into Mexico. I kinda thought the story was BS because loaded mags were sitting on/under the seat but the rifles were all behind panels, bumpers etc and inaccessable. Also the rifles had the tape type tags that Century provides from the factory. It just struck me as odd that a "cartel" went to all the trouble to stash the rifles, ditch the reciept, load the mags and just leave them lying on the seat at the border crossing and leave the tags on the rifles.
The media and .gov is feeding the anti 2A machine.
Of course most all problems with Mexico would stop if the security of the border was upheld.

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.
