Hype or real?? There seem to be several threads about the non-sporting barrel import ban. Any thoughts or comments? http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=4&f=64&t=72800 http://www.falfiles.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=143512 |
and the Republican Party.
they are? last I heard the ATF can ban imports of items "not suitable for public consumption" without any approval from the prez. |
And who controls ATF policy? They are in the executive branch and ultimately answer to the President, no? I edited my post because the proof I found wasn't valid--I'll wait for an official statement. |

I didn't even bother reading 99 % of the referenced posts, but I call BS. The BATF has no legal authority to regulate or ban barells. Barells are not firearms. The BATF doesn't even have the authority to regulate importation unless directed by: A) Action by Congress. B) Executive Order. To the best of my knowledge, neither of these has happened. |
Yep... There have been many threads that no plane hit the Pentagon on 9-11… I guess that is enough to make it so. Again… evidence PLEASE. |
| Not really a big deal. It will simply spawn a new cottege industry among US barrel makers. Which would you rather have, a worn out been through three wars import, or a brand new US made tube that also adds to your parts count? I believe the barrel on the L1A1 was in fact made by Green mountain. It is chrome lined, brand new, and will shoot into 2 inches with crappy ammo. |
many of the kits that get imported are like new, and a new barrel will turn a $100 perfectly serviceable rifle kit into a $250 perfectly serviceable rifle kit with a shiney new barrel. |
that is another possiblility that would not suprise me either.
yes we could, but we shouldnt have to |
You're right, but until we get the gun laws repealled all the way back to the 1934 NFA, it's just damage control. |

I know of Toad. Tell me he didn't start this shit storm. This debate has been done several times. Basically the importer can't built the kit into a gun but someone else can. What I have been reading is that the ATF won't allow barrels to be imported now. |
From the ak board thread:

Unfortunately, the older threads are not there. However, some months ago, the same question was posted and it was tracked to a thread on hk54 I cannot say with absolute confidence that Toad "started" it, but he was doing his level best to perpetuate it. |
Never met him or had any dealings with him but from what I've seen of his actions online I wouldn't put it past the fvcktard. He seems like a total assclown & the type to turn snitchbitch. |
