The Right To Keep And Bear Arms Not Based On 'Sporting Purposes'

November 26, 2009
The Right To Keep And Bear Arms Not Based On 'Sporting Purposes' - 15

St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner Kurt Hofmann in his Tuesday, Nov. 17 blog on examiner.com, says the latest push to ban so-called 'assault weapons' such as the FN Herstal Five-seveN pistol used in the Fort Hood shooting would not require any new legislation or administrative directive.

"The Obama administration could act today to prevent any more Five-seveNs from entering the country," Hofmann writes. "The decades-old 'sporting purposes' test contained in the Gun Control Act of 1968 grants ATF wide discretion to ban the import of the Five-seveN, the PS-90, and any other foreign-made, military-bred, 'non -sporting' firearms. But since the agency treats the gun industry as its "customer," such an action -- without direct engagement by the White House -- is more than unlikely"

Why, then, the latest push in the wake of the Fort Hood shootings?

Because, Hofmann writes, "the rabidly anti-gun Violence Policy Center's Josh Sugarmann has, predictably, joined his anti-gun cohorts in exploiting the Ft. Hood atrocity as justification for banning" a wide array of firearms.

"Let's ignore, for a moment, the blatant unconstitutionality of the Gun Control Act, and its provision empowering the federal government to ban importation of a firearm merely by determining said firearm is unsuitable for sport, and consider what such a ban would do," he continues. "My guess is that it would make some enterprising domestic firearms manufacturer very pleased, as it tooled up to swoop in on the newly (forcibly) vacated market -- a market probably invigorated by the very hysteria against the 5.7x28mm caliber generated by groups like VPC and the Brady Campaign."

No sense of humanity in these clowns. "We must MAKE everyone bend to our will" seems to be their motto no matter how shameless their activities. The storm against these folks is coming. Death to Tyrants. If it was good enough for Jefferson, Washington, and Franklin then it's good enough for me. These tyrants will make this response necessary. Sad that it will have to come to this.

I must say this i dont remember reading anything in the 2nd A. where it says the right to bear sporting arms so that means if the government has a tank well then so should the people but of course they dont want you to know that. They want you helpless and scared and thats one way they get there control over the masses.

Actually, Arnold Schwarzenegger owns the M-47 tank that he drove during his draftee days in the Austrian Army. Many people own tanks, armored personnel carriers, and self-propelled artillery vehicles. Nothing wrong with that. Only tyrants and liberals would be bothered but that would be redundant, wouldn't it?

The great shoes for all ladies around the world. Christian louboutin shoes are amazing and famous for a long history.They sit on shelves along with big labels christian louboutin, Salvatore Boots sale and Canali. The company's closest competition might be AG's Rockport brand, which makes comfortable, stylish shoes in the $100 range. Splash But Auri's Shoes sale come with a bit of spunk and splash. They have christian louboutin sale such as The Ladies' Man, Stingray, Gigolo and Cougar Bait. They sell for $145 to $180. Rosenbaum's Sandals sale is to design shoes cool enough for hipsters but comfy enough to wear high pumps all. They're designed almost well enough to run in Jimmy Choo, he said.
