In the face a tough election year, Barack Obama and the anti-gunners are willing to do ANYTHING to infringe upon your right to keep and bear arms.
Right now, Barack Obama has teamed up with liberal special interest groups to use the un-elected bureaucrats in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ban alltraditional forms of ammunition.
That’s right, Obama and his cronies are trying to ban ALL ammo.
By using the Toxic Substance Control Act of 1976, they want to ban all hunting, target and self-defense ammo that contains lead, no matter how little.
Make no mistake — this is gun control at its worst.
Since grassroots actions have stopped their plans to pass ammo and gun bans so far in congress, they’re using the old end-run.
Obama and his anti-gun cronies in the EPA know that by banning all but the most expensive ammo, they’ve effectively banned your guns in all but name.
To make matters worse, the anti-gunners are hoping to sneak this attack on our Second Amendment Rights through as a bureaucratic rule change. They know that when they introduce gun control as legislation that gun owners have tremendous grassroots power. The anti-gun lobby will be afraid of angering gun owners so close to an election. So they’re simply bypassing the democratic, legislative process all together by counting on bureaucrats in the EPA to do their anti-gun dirty work.
The goal of this rule change is simple: drive the price of ammo through the roof for all but law enforcement and the military.
Virtually all hunting, target and self-defense ammo has some lead components. They’re trying to disarm us one bullet at a time.
I know it’s hard to believe, but the anti-gunners in D.C. think they’ve found the perfect way to violate your rights and avoid the tough legislative battles they would need to pass this as a bill. They’re bypassing the legislative process so that they can achieve their two most important goals: banning guns and protecting their puppet politicians’ reelections.
Backroom deals and midnight bureaucratic rule changes like this are hard to fight. Unelected bureaucrats aren’t susceptible to the same kind of grassroots pressure that elected members of Congress are. But if Pelosi and Reid figure out gun owners will turn on their Democrat majorities in mass, you can bet they will light up the White House phones with demands the EPA back down.
The un-elected bureaucrats in the Environmental Protection Agency are trying to use an ancient, arcane law to ban virtually all hunting, target and self-defense ammo. They’re trying to use a bureaucratic end-run to bypass the legislative process and ban ammo without a single member of Congress casting a single vote.
