Wow that article really is very heavily biased.
Relevance? Are they insinuating that exporting AR-15's is going to lead to mass shootings elsewhere? Because AR's automatically cause mass shootings? And because removing export hurdles from the US also removes other countries import regulations and licensing requirements for owners?Quote:
gun-makers will no longer need licenses from the Department of State to sell dozens of types of weapons to other countries, including semi-automatic assault weapons such as the AR-15 that has been employed in many of America’s worst mass shootings.
I wouldn't hold my breath under the present "regime" here.
One of the problems with Americans is they don't understand how the rest of the world operates they are like kindergarten kids.
The US media ignores the fact that 80% of shootings in the US are with pistols or (far lesser extent) shotguns. Or that these shootings are in predominately poor and black/Hispanic neighbourhoods.
Its only when middle class rich white kids get shot that leads to a media call for the banning of 'assault' (sic) rifles.
However when a neo nazi shoots up a black church with one, its a hate crime. Not a call to ban AR15s.
isnt this politics :P
everything is politics... haven't you learned that yet?
In one way or another it comes into it eventually
yeah but did you read the bit about flame throwers?
I want one
but with the price of fuel I can afford to use it even less than my rifles lol
I don't necessarily agree with bit right at the bottom about crims and terrorists now being able to access them in large quantities.
From what I can gather that has not been an issue. They aint the only country in the world that makes weapons like that just one of the more difficult to them from.
Its politics when our resident Miami cop joins in.... or has he been banned? :P
The media here, well its not worth a dime. Its first with the story, any story doesnt matter if its right or wrong. Anyways what the Trump administration was looking at was ITAR. Basically a lot of small firms producing items that are not military orientated are currently prohibited from selling overseas without a overly expensive export license, and the list goes on. Hoping that this takes effect, gone a little stupid here, 10 or 15 years ago, there wasnt much paperwork involved taking your personal rifle overseas to hunt or compete. Thanks to a previous administration one has to register with the State dept and fill out more needless paperwork.
ok so the same as media every where then what other policys are they working on
And politics is also about religion. Well, it's some people's religion.
Anyway, good news. I was looking at barrel liner inserts recently and the makers would not export them, as each barrel liner export required an expensive license from their Dept of Homeland Security. It's not just because of their extortional shipping costs that US manufacturers and traders find it hard to compete with China.
Cordite, that about sums it up. I think its 350 bucks for an export license for a barrel, now thats one or twenty doesnt matter but they still have to have the 3500 main license to even do that. A lot of smaller firms couldnt be bothered with that hassle
Hope they hurry up and pass this.
ITAR is supposed to go up to $500 bucks and I have at least that in parts I want to order in.
Will send in permit now just in case.
Have never imported naughty gun parts before so the experience will be new to me [emoji41]
