Obama Signs Executive Order Banning AK-47s
« on: July 20, 2014, 10:15:00 PM »
well they say the devil is always in the details so while banning all sort of Russian commerce and business and just before the Mylasian B777 was shot down the IDOT signed an EO effectivily banning the AK47's... So im wondering if the OStupid has banned so many weapons is there really a need for the ATF??????  ddd ddd ddd

I believe this might be different from the Seiga thread that goose posted if not than its still a good read... ^-^

Obama Signs Executive Order Banning AK-47s
By Dave Dolbee published on July 18, 2014 in AK, Firearms, Industry News, News, Rifles, Shotguns
On Wednesday—a day before the Malaysian airliner was shot down—President Obama quietly signed an executive order targeting Russian oil, natural gas, finance and defense companies. Hidden in the details, was a section that effectively bans AK-47s. As always, the devil is in the details, so read on for the straight scoop.


Mikhail Kalashnikov

While signing an executive order to impose new sanctions on Russia, President Obama used his pen to also further his agenda of gun control by including a ban of parts used to build or repair Russian AK-47s. That is the headline and certainly bad news for the gun community. The order immediately will have an effect on Concern Kalashnikov.

KALASHNIKOV CONCERN (a.k.a. CONCERN KALASHNIKOV; a.k.a. IZHEVSKIY MASHINOSTROITEL’NYI ZAVOD OAO; f.k.a. IZHMASH R&D CENTER; f.k.a. JSC NPO IZHMASH; f.k.a. NPO IZHMASH OAO; a.k.a. OJSC CONCERN KALASHNIKOV; f.k.a. OJSC IZHMASH; f.k.a. SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION ASSOCIATION IZHMASH JOINT STOCK COMPANY), 3, Derjabin Pr., Izhevsk, Udmurt Republic 426006, Russia; Registration ID 1111832003018 [UKRAINE2].

Concern Kalashnikov’s U.S. importer is RWC Group. The new ban will include Izhmash rifles—rimfire and centerfire bolt-action rifles—and semi-automatic Saiga rifles and shotguns based on the Kalashnikov action. Fortunately, there are a few facts in which gun enthusiasts may find some solace. First, the law only applies to Russian made AKs. Therefore, all AK’s and parts imported from other countries are still legal. Second, Executive Order 13662 does not impact any firearms or parts that have already been imported—well almost…it seems there was a gray area regarding item already imported, but which money was still owed to Concern Kalashnikov.

So Chinese AKs are fine? So whats to stop a major manufacturer from licensing out their rifles to China or another country if this thing goes on for awhile?

Chinese weapons such as AKs, SKSs, Norinco M14s have been banned for probably twenty years or more. In fact I think it was Bush The Elder who did that.
However, there are other countries that make AKs that Obammy's order doesn't touch. Romania, for example.

Here's the actual EO. It's a short read--only about 2 pages long:

There are some Yugo AK's out there too like the N-PAP and O-PAP.  Check into them.

Native,  an executive order is certainly not a law.  It hasn't been tested and vetted.  And likely someone with the money for a good lawyer could easily defeat this piece of trash.

I however, do not have that money...............  so........  carry on.

Voting don't work and I don't have the funds for a bribe or a lawsuit let alone buy a new rifle.
