The lawsuit was filed last month by SAF, if they were going to implement the "proposed" new, old rule, they would not bother soliciting comments. Much the same on the ban on 5.56 ammo that did not happen. If you think they take comments, polls, petitions, I have a bridge to sell you. IMO I believe they are trying to fear monger because of the lawsuit, and then the NRA comes along to assist in scaring people from posting. If there are new rules Obama did not write them, he wrote them in 2011. IIRC NRA made note that the rules were in place for years.Walking Wolf -
Please check the link I posted at Post #2. If you do not want to scroll back to it, here it is: http://www.pagunblog.com/2015/06/08/public-comment-period-for-itar-gun-owner-silencing-rule/
Again:
Do you see the word I bolded? It's not the same old same-old. State would not be soliciting comments on something that has existed for the past 4 years.
Yes, the NRA and others may be a bit hysterical in order to convince you to donate money that cannot be earmarked for battling this specific issue. But the general gist of what they are saying is what the proposed rule will end up doing.
stay safe.
And I will repeat, the government always had the power to make arrests based on ITAR, as they have made them, but not for internet speech. And remember, and especially you should remember Obama can only issue EO, or rules for laws already on the books. Has the republican house approved such rules in the last year?
"Will direct a review of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to reevaluate restrictions imposed on American companies, with a special focus on space hardware that is currently restricted from commercial export. He will also direct revisions to the licensing process to ensure that American suppliers are competitive in the international aerospace markets, without jeopardizing American national security."
President Barrack Obama
This was a campaign promise, and that is the actual focus of what he is doing. I don't like Obama, but this carp is not helping, and making us look like lunatics.
