Gun Export Ban

[Longtooth]

Im seeing news of this starting to pop up a few different places.

The United States has issued a gun export ban for all non-governmental users for the next 90 days. A ban to this extent has never happened before according to firearms expert lawyer Johanna Reeves. A review by the Commerce Department will assess the "risk of firearms being diverted to entities or activities that promote regional instability, violate human rights, or fuel criminal activities."

My first thought was damage control after the first videos I saw of hamas murdering unarmed civilians clearly showed what appeared to be M4 rifles complete with laser range finders and Acogs…

That would be your Afghanistan left-behinds..

I believe most if not all manufacturing of S&W, Ruger, and others is done in the USA. This 90 day ban might create a purchasing opportunity of these weapons for our civilian market. I would think the companies mentioned could survive the 90 ban. My concern is what happens when the 90 day ban is over? Will there be another 90 ban and another, and another, and another? Is this a dem attempt to cash strap American firearms manufacturing? "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you." ― Joseph Heller, Catch-22.

It's one of those things that almost looks like an attack on American manufacturing. To stay alive, you have to sell to the Government. To gain their contracts, you have to do whatever they tell you.

That's another thing - What stops this from continuing every 90 days. Kill every internal manufacturer, and then ban imports.

Maybe my tinfoil is wrapped too tightly, but generally I dislike the government telling anyone what to do.
Especially with the Crony Capitalism that's running rampant.

Nope, your hat is fine. There's a fine line between being cautious and being situationally aware

Hmmmmm

Import records illuminate Ukraine’s desperate hunt for arms and ammo

Kyiv is paying exorbitant prices for Soviet-designed materiel, and has even managed to obtain Swiss ammo despite Geneva's ban.

As we’ve been saying, ammo control is coming.

Sounds like crap we leave behind in a butchered pull out.

I've been saying it for years now. If you can't ban the guns ban or put the supply out of business. Look at how many small FFLs in our area are out of business now.

Ammo control is here. There are states that ammo must go thru FFL.
