ATF hqLast week, the Obama administration announced that it was in the process of preparing new gun safety measures. The announcement, which coincided with the six-month anniversary of the Tucson, Arizona, shooting, provoked criticism from pro-gun groups as yet another way for the government to infringe upon Second Amendment rights. The administration appears unmoved, and today is putting its words into effect, by way of executive order.
The executive order will implement newer restrictions on the sale of weapons in states near the border, and will impose greater penalties on those who violate certain gun laws.

Fox News reports:

Under the new policy, federal firearms licensees in Texas, California, Arizona and New Mexico must report purchases of two or more of some types of rifles by the same person in a five-day span. The requirement applies to purchases of semi-automatic rifles that have detachable magazines and a caliber of greater than .22.

According to the Justice Department, gun stores in four Southwest border states are mandated to report frequent purchases to the federal government.

The Bureau of Tobacco, Alcohol, Firearms and Explosives (still known as ATF, headquarters pictured above) will be responsible for generating and maintaining annual reports, approximately 18,000 a year. If no investigative leads are made within two years, the information will be destroyed.

The Daily Beast asserts that the Executive Order is just one of many, and contends that the tentacles of those orders reach significantly further than most are reporting. The details include:

A national electronic system designed to make background checks for handgun buyers simpler and faster, leaving an electronic paper trail. [And] tougher sentencing guidelines for straw buyers that [U.S. Attorney General Eric] Holder’s department pushed through procedural hoops at the U.S. Sentencing Commission earlier this year.

Ironically, the orders are being passed in the wake of the Project Gunrunner (aka Operation Fast and Furious) scandal which implicates both the ATF and the Justice Department. As reported by Andrew Breitbart’s BigGovernment.com, Project Gunrunner:

was a project of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fireworks [sic]. In late 2009, the ATF was alerted to suspicious buys at seven gun shops in the Phoenix area. Suspicious because the buyers paid cash, sometimes brought in paper bags. And they purchased classic “weapons of choiceâ€

I'll bet you this is a direct result of all the HEAT O's taken the past week over Operation Gunrunner.

Any takers?

Plus, what CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY does he have in restricting legal gun movement by American C-I-T-I-Z-E-N-S?

What a wonderful way to SLAUGHTER more Americans .... arm the SHIT out of Mexican Drug Cartels and DISARM the American Citizens

The New World Order is on a roll n Decimating America and Damn

Obama is going to get a kick out of watching America recoil in fear
