But seriously, Ive been worried that this would come up at some point. The executive branch has enormous power over setting administrative rules around importation. I wonder if the tensions in Crimea would give the president enough political cover to try something along these lines.

I wonder how many cats DiFi has? I'm guessing 15.

Did anyone else catch the ridiculous assertion along the lines of: the firearms that are imported are sold to civilians in the U.S. either for 1) the commission of violent acts here in the U.S. or 2) to be smuggled into Mexico? Apparently, civilians in the U.S. don't buy them for any other purpose?!

If she has cats, it's only because they are trapped and can't escape.

For example, one imported Romanian AK firearm, the WASR-10, was carefully designed to exploit the sporting purposes test and has become a favorite of the gun traffickers that profit by arming Mexican drug trafficking organizations. The importer of the WASR-10, Century International Arms, circumvents the import ban by taking the following steps: First, the company imports the inexpensive weapon without any military features, to avoid contravening the ban. Next, the weapon is disassembled, and American-made parts are added, to make the weapon “American-made,” not “foreign-made.” The magazine well is also modified to accept higher capacity ammunition magazines. Finally, assault features — which would be illegal if added to a foreign-made weapon — are added to the now-American-made weapon, rendering the weapon an assault rifle for all practical purposes. The resulting firearm is then sold on the civilian market, either to be used in violent acts here at home or smuggled across the border into Mexico.

WASR-10s have repeatedly been found in the arsenals of top drug kingpins and their associates. For example, at least one WASR-10 was used in May 2008 to kill eight police officers in Culiacan, Mexico, a city in the northwestern part of the country. An analysis conducted by The Center for Public Integrity found that, over the last four years, WASR-10 rifles comprised more than 17% of the firearms recovered at Mexican crime scenes and successfully traced back to the United States.

So she wants to ban he WASR-10 so they cannot be smuggled into Mexico?... Eric Holder is going to be so disappointed.

Feinstein just isn't scoring points these days.

I say let her so we can finally do away with this "sporting purposes" thing once and for all.

I love how complying with and working within laws as written are considered "exploiting" them.

She needs to go back under her bridge. I can recommend a couple good ones along the Jones Falls Expressway.

...helping to fuel deadly gun violence along the Southwest border...

How about the prez ban the import of illegal aliens? I bet that will solve the violence issue.

 

[Mark75H]

We need to tally the number of felonies committed by illegal aliens and show that against crimes committed with so called "assault weapons" it needs to be a meme repeated on FB and every forum in every state.

Absolutely ridiculously hypocritical that these people forgive actual crime as long as it is committed by someone in their privileged class and at the same time attack law abiding citizens

 

[Uncle Duke]

Seriously, what goes into the creation of a woman who's as **** on a bull useless as Feinstein? Just a real work of art.

Should have read the warning from the OP before reading the link.... now my blood presure is 190/100 and my breakfast is in the septic tank.....

That's the best time. She'll fit right in.

It's only ok when referring to campaign contributions. When it comes to firearms laws, any attempt to go against the Empress Palpatine's wishes is considered exploiting.

Well then, Empress Palpatine's wishes need to be made more clear, like this....

"My dream is for the once proud American people to cower in fear the way subjects are supposed to in whatever size hovel we feel is sufficient for you, because we know what best for you.

Of course we certainly can't have that, because if Democrats said what they really think there would never be another one elected again.
