it's pathetic how much this government thinks it can involve itself in our lives, the more right it takes from us, the more it wants, this is the most corrupt, & filhy government this nation has ever seen, it is so politically correct & worried about offending muslims, and every other enemy weve got, that ithas starting imploding itself, obama stands up for more evil then hitler ever thought about, i know some might say what about the holocaust, well obama is running the biggest holocaust machine ever known to man, the legal abortion movement, yea, the u.s. government is in charge, and helping to finance it 100%, so yea why not take away a man's right to bear arms, he just might hurt a burglar, or a rapist, or want to protect his family, so get ready folks, the cattle cars might not be as far away as you think, when your anti god, then your anti christ, that is where this nation is heading.

ok we report multipal rifle sales. next thing is report multipal pistol sales because thier high cap mags ok. why only in the borded state of the south why not the norther border to? Listen bad guys dont care for rules thats why they are bad guys. your just chasing roaches way with a flash light. i just see more goverment spending. I you are going to spend our money like that then do it right. I would rather pay for a officer on the border than a officer behind a desk in D.C. Come on work smarter not harder. This is like going after car companies for making faster cars that moonshiners use to out run police during proabition. Wake up folks this can only go from bad it worse. please folks in D.C. start thinking for the people.

The regulation as published has NO REGIONAL LIMITATTION. The regulation is therefore in fact NOT restricted to the southwest!

Notice how these USN libtards put up a link to the list of pro-gun Congressmen, but NOT the anti-gun owner socialists and communists in Congress taking money from America haters and other such ilk!

An onerous buden applied in a disciminatory manner. Do they even have the good folks in place to handle the workload. This is an administrative rule that makes no sense except for those eager and willing to flex their muscles against gun owners. Big government should spend more time and their precious funding to stop straw purchasing in the entire US. That while still oppresive toward legitimate gun owners makes sense. This is similar to the clause in the U.S.code requiring a point system on Russian made guns to prevent an inter changing of parts. What differnce, in that case, if I put a 30 round magazine made in the U.S.A. or one from some other country. Definitions are already screwed up enough like "sporting purpose". Yes and what I am writing is very likely as confusing and rambling as the rules and laws issued by Washington. Leave the re-interpretation of the 2nd amendment to the courts not the ATF.

"At a Thursday briefing, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said, 'As you know, the president directed the attorney general to form working groups with key stakeholders to identify common-sense measures that would improve Americans' safety and security while fully respecting Second Amendment rights...."
What part of "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed" do these people not understand???. If they are really concerned about "respecting 2nd Amendment rights, Why do they have to do gun control "under the radar"?? It is not "gun control" it is "Population Control" they are really after.

The fed's have failed; They promise and promise and never go through with it. Everyday, every minite our rights as natural born citizens and those who are (LEGAL CITIZENS) are being trampled on by people who wish to destroy this country. The gov't has insighted the waves of illeagal aliens that cross our borders. It time to take it in to our hands (our meaning the Citizens of this beloved country). The Constution Gives us the power to do this if our gov't can no longer effectively protect the freedoms and the God givin rights of it's people.

Comrade 0bummer is almost apoplectic over gun control. He knows that without it he cannot crush and conquer the citizens of this nation. His proffesional army of black gangs, thugs, union thugs, moslems and illegals will be massacred by people who are patriotic citizens of this great nation. For the terminally ignorant socialists who only Obama rhetoric, that means you will be capped when you try to crush our freedoms and liberties. The gangsters in the white house and the DOJ and the SCOTUS and the legislature and all the weasels in congress and especially the satanic monsters in ACLU, ACORN and other terrorist sponsored agencies will be at the top of the list. America will not go down with a whimper, make no mistake !!

Controlling the citizens purchases of guns is NOT the answer. These people that are illegally selling guns or are legally selling in foreign countries with less restrictions are the real culprits. I will NOT give up my right to buy 1, 2, 3 or more arms. If you look at many politicians stand they want to make any gun purchase illegal. It is just one more step to disarming America. When you wake up and smell the coffee and see the real agenda here you will then be addressing the real problem on both sides.
Second, we have the right to bear arms. Since when does it say we have the right to ONLY own hunting weapons? We only have the right to own weapons to hunt with? No, the real intent is to protect the citizens from a corrupt government and keep the power in the citizens hands. Our very own government want to disarm America. That does not sound like a peoples government to me.
Third, the Military is working on full body protection gear. We the citizens can only own hunting and target weapons??? (not sure about all states) The moment the miltary has a full body protection against hunting weapons you have literally disarmed a country. Where is our right to bear arms and protect ourselves then?
Fourth, We never think of protecting ourselves from our own government today. This is both a great and wonderful trust of our system and a weakness that the gun control activists rely on. For us to be in this situation today only PROVES our countries forefathers wisdom. You can ONLY trust government when it is in the hands of the citizens. When they loose all respect and think they know better then us we are in real trouble. When the citizens are being restricted and controlled and the real criminals are left to do what they do, you do not address the problem.
When the government is working for the people the government and the citizens have nothing to fear. We need to get back to that concept that made this country great. Go after the real problem and not the citizens. Work for and with the people and protect the constitution. Don't rewrite the constitution and tell the people you know what is best for them.

Why wouldn't the NRA fight against unconstitutional mandated reporting of gun sales? All Pres. Obama and the left want is to find out which houses to raid when they come to take away all firearms under the UN Small Arms treaty they want to push through the House if they ever get the chance (which is why we need to vote him out in 2012!!). Reporting is the first step in confiscation and once the State confiscates all arms, the people lose all civil rights overnight.
