LEGAL BEAGLES: URGENT CALL TO ACTION!

URGENT: ATF RECLASSIFIES NEW AMMO AS ILLEGAL … CONFISCATION BEGINS IMMEDIATELY

 


The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is at it again. 

First, the ATF tried to ban M855 ammunition, bypassing the legislative process completely and attempting to take away the most popular ammo type for the AR-15 rifle.

While that didn’t work, 'president' Barack Obama’s ATF hasn’t given up. This time they’re attempting to ban flares and practice rounds of ammunition because … well, why the heck not?

One gun owner reported that “that they had been contacted by the ATF to turn in their recently purchased flare rounds.” The rounds had been previously classified as legal and non-explosive, but according to the letter, that had all changed.

The ATF’s rationale was that 40mm flare rounds weren’t small arms ammunition but in fact “low explosives,” in spite of the fact that flares have no explosive qualities whatsoever.

That may seem like a minor difference, but the reclassification gives the ATF the power to confiscate them.

Up until the ATF’s new regulations, civilians could purchase such “low explosives,” like flares and chalk practice rounds, with no interference from the government. What’s changed in the last few months I cannot imagine, but now they’re illegal (H/T The Federalist Papers Project).

There’s absolutely no danger posed, either real or imagined, by flares or chalk practice rounds. In fact, unless you’re firing flares above the house of your light-sensitive neighbor at three in the morning, I can’t even picture any annoyance these items would cause. (And, if you’re doing that, there are probably bigger problems at work than your ability to access “low explosive” flare rounds.)

By banning such harmless ammunition, the ATF is once again putting its capriciousness on full display. You want flares? Too bad! You can’t have them because some bureaucrat doesn’t think you should have them. Congress? Who needs ’em!

The ATF’s powers need to be severely curbed, if not eliminated entirely. The Second Amendment is now being hacked away at by militant functionaries who hate your freedom and are going to violate it any way they can, federal law and Constitution be damned.

Today they’re coming for flares and chalk practice rounds, but tomorrow you can bet they’re going to be coming for any type of ammo they can get their hands on. Let’s take away their power before they take away your right to self-defense.
