EO 13637

[jcoosi]

Dont know if anyone has seen or heard of this yet. But this EO was signed in March of this year and went into effect the 22 of April. It has to do with Arms Export Control Act (AECA) where previousily the Sec Of State controlled the exportation of defense articles and services. The new EO from what I have read the DOJ is ammending the BATFE regulations to remove cross reference to the regulatory United States Munitions List (USML) of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Under the EO it gives the Attorney General delegated authority to designate defense articles and defense services as part of the statutory USML for purposes of permanent import controls, regardless of whether the Secretary of State controls such defense articles or defense services for purposes of export and temporary import. So if I am reding this right the Attorney General Eric Holder can stop importation of defense articles and services as he deems necessary?

The more convoluted and triplicate paper-worked this administration can make the path for a run of the mill law abiding citizen to wrap their fingers around a firearm or ammunition, the better they like it.

 

Nobody is paying attention, dang few care, too busy.
