    President Obama is using executive actions to impose gun control on the nation.... http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/article/2560750

    -----------

    As promised, Liberal Authoritarians are looking to take away our Right to Defend ourselves, our freedoms, and our nation.

    This is what tyrants do.

    "At issue is so-called “armor-piercing” ammunition, an exemption for those bullets mostly used for sport by AR-15 owners, and the recent popularity of pistol-style ARs that use the ammo."

    these the bullets he wants to impose control on?

    Hard to know whether or not this is driven by obummer or ammo companies stirring up fears.

    What is your comment on the fact that the connection to Obama in your post is a complete lie with no foundation in reality?

    Obama has nothing whatsoever to do with this issue. Whatever you think about him is completely off topic.

    Whether or not he issued executive action, this is still his Government, and they are doing what he would want them to do.

    Oh, how so?

    It's not due to any presidential executive action, it's a decision on classification by a government agency.

    Do you have any evidence that Obama is even involved in any way?

    This is an outrage! Clearly armor piercing ammo is necessary for both personal defense and hunting. I mean look at how many muggers wear full body armor and how many Kevlar deer there are.

    According to the article 308 is next on the chopping block.

    Just work your way through the various calibers until everything but BB's are outlawed. This is how progressives deal with not getting the legislation they like.

    Hmm hopefully their lack of knowledge on fire arms plays into it when they forget .223 ammo......

    So all a mugger has to do now is buy body armor and the homeowners whose home he illegally enters will be less able to stop him?

    I guess their lives aren't worth as much as the feeling leftists get from social change.

    And yet I can go purchase 50 cal rounds and even .905 cal rounds will soon be available, go figure the wisdom of POTUS:

    Shooting this baby is a once a day type of thing. Funny to watch the faces of after pulling the trigger.

    The vast majority of home defense weapons are already not firing armor piercing ammo, so why aren't criminals doing this now?

    I think the thought process here is that if people have been reduced to mugging, they probably don't have enough money to purchase body armor in the first place. So, yeah, I guess I would have liberals to thank when Uber-mugger breaks into my house with his full body-armor and my piddly .45 can't kill him.

    I understand where you're coming from, but a mugger in body armor? Really?

    Listen to yourself. :roflol:

    Obama issued the "executive order." Now you are saying there was no "executive order" issued by the incompetent Obama ???

    It's Obama and the left who needs to eat crow.

    >" Limbaugh referenced Americans who began hoarding ammunition in 2013 after the left’s “endless attempts to use shooting tragedies to push for even more gun control laws.” That, coupled with the non-stop ammunition orders for federal agencies, frightened a lot of Americans into thinking scarce ammunition was going to get more scarce. So they hoarded ammunition and were mocked by the mainstream media as “‘kooks’ and ‘hayseeds’ and ‘paranoids’.”

    But Limbaugh says those hoarders are vindicated by the current attempt to ban AR-15 ammunition via executive action. And he warns every American&#8211;gun owner or not&#8211;that &#8220;this is how is starts.&#8221; Liberty will &#8220;slowly trickle away.&#8221;..."<
