Will Obama be Forced to Swallow a Repeal of the AR-15 Ammo Ban? Gun Owners of America Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)- ACTION: Click here to contact your Senators and Represenatative and urge them to support a repeal of ATF’s AR-15 ban. And tell them to vote against the DHS funding bill — specifically, urging your Senators to vote against any cloture motion that would facilitate it. ATF’s Ban on common AR-15 ammo As GOA activists know, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) recently proposed a ban on “green tip” AR-15 ammo. The ban is completely lawless and unconstitutional, and there are legislators who want to fight the ban. At least one Republican office is considering an amendment to block Obama’s illegal AR-15 ammunition ban by attaching it to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill. But if you’ve been watching the news, you know that there is a royal battle right now over this bill because of Obama’s Executive Amnesty, something that GOA has reported on before. Executive Amnesty Threatens Gun Owners’ Rights To provide some context, Barack Obama initiated the controversy by unconstitutionally and unlawfully using “executive action” to give amnesty to 5,000,000 people illegally in this country. How do we know it’s illegal? Because Barack Obama himself had said repeatedly that it would be illegal, and now a federal court has said the same. And, to give you a sense of what stake the Second Amendment community has in this battle, we will quote liberal anti-gun Oregon Democratic Congressman Kurt Schrader, who confidently opined that this fight “will decide who is in charge of this country for the next 20 or 30 years.” In other words, if you add another 5-8,000,000 anti-gun voters to the rolls, we can kiss the Second Amendment good-bye. But, to get back to our story, Obama “decreed” an amnesty last year which he himself had pronounced unlawful. And his primary (unspoken) defense was that the Police Chief (Eric Holder) worked for him and the newly-packed federal courts would, generally, do what he told them to do. In December, Republicans had their best chance to defeat Obama’s Executive Amnesty. But as many of you will remember, House Speaker John Boehner caved and said that Republicans would fight the battle in February. Well, we warned Republicans in December that the fight to kill the anti-gun amnesty would be a lot harder if they put it off until February (this week). After all, we know that if Republicans send Obama a DHS funding bill with NO monies for amnesty, that the President will veto it. And this, of course, means that the Department of Homeland Security sends all non-essential employees home. How does that help the cause, knowing that in order to defeat amnesty, we’re refusing to pay our border agents?
