Your Business Reported to the ATF
Colorado ––(Ammoland.com)- Statists never sleep. That quote is becoming popular because it is undeniably true.
They never stop finding ways to curb our liberties. They want you reported and tracked anyway they can get it.
The gun-grabbers are scheming again. But this time they are sneaking through the back door. They don’t want you to see them coming.
The BATFE has recently begun to connive “emergency powers” from President Obama to monitor purchases from gun stores.
They don’t want you buying more than one rifle without you being reported to Washington over so-called “terrorism concerns”. More importantly, they’re using “emergency powers” so they can steal away what they want without a vote.
They’ve been monitoring citizens for decades with handgun sales, and now they’re trying it with rifles.
Of course, you and I both know that they’re plotting to stop you from buying any guns without them recording it. But this is how they start down that path.
Emergency Powers.
The BATFE is using their favorite bogey man of terrorism and drug-related violence in other countries to trump the charge that your purchase of rifles is to blame. They are stealing powers away from your elected representatives and into their own hands to spy on and record your purchases if you buy more than one gun in a week.
If this is starting to sound all too familiar, that’s because it is.
Remember Mayor Bloomberg? One of the wealthiest and most powerful anti-gunners out there?
This was Bloomberg’s plan. And it’s blatantly against the law.
The Firearm Owners’ Protection Act was designed specifically to prevent this perversion of freedom from happening.
In fact, this act also requires that any changes be given a public hearing no less than 90 days in advance (the BATFE is attempting this power-grab with just 30 days notice).
In other words, existing Federal law stops this move specifically, and the speed in which it is being attempted…
…And they are rolling right over it like it wasn’t even there.
Even schoolchildren know that it is the legislature’s job to write law in the United States, not the President or some power-hungry law enforcement agency, bent on crafting their own rules. But with so many distractions out there, some of your Congressmen and Senators don’t even know what’s going on with this story or how it will impact the average gun owner.
That’s why I am writing to you now. I know the mainstream media isn’t going to let you know about this, but Ammoland is by allowing us to communicate with you directly.
We will keep you updated with ways to get involved as this issue moves forward. Thank you for your continued support.

P.S. The BATFE is creating its own set of rules to regulate the sale of “multiple rifles”. In other words, they’re doing their best to turn a right into a privilege.
I’ll keep you updated as this develops, but I knew you’d want to hear about this outrageous power-grab by the BATFE.

This regulation is both illegal and unnecessary. Further there is no justification for any “emergency” implementation 1. By it’s own admission, ATF has overstated the “trafficking” problem and deliberately mislead Congress and the American People. Between 2008 and 2010, ATF quoted 90% of guns seized in Mexico came from the United States. In September 2010, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) issued a draft report critical of Project Gunrunner, followed by a final version in November, 2010. The OIG analysis of ATF data shows, of the guns submitted for tracing, a much lower percentage… Read more »
