"President 0bama declared a ban on the importation of Saiga and Kalashnikov Concern firearms to the United States. The stated reason was to punish the Russian government and people... But as we all know, the 0bama administration never misses an opportunity to
"mess" over US gun owners by making firearms and ammunition more expensive and/or difficult to obtain. In an attempt to circumvent the newly-imposed restrictions, Kalashnikov Concern is reportedly in talks with a non-blacklisted buyer to purchase the company and restart US imports . . ."
there are some good comments down below the story but this one is probably most accurate..
"...they can move production to an allied former soviet state and there will not be a damn thing that the State Department can do without pissing off an uninvolved third party. If I remember correctly Belarus has some rather nice munitions plants."
here's the original story from Reuters.
some of the comments below this one are anti gun.
now if they could just come up with a ironic company name like "2nd amendment" or
"American freedom"..
it just may be a little bit more clear to the American people when the next time someone tries to ban the importation of them.
** Edit alert*** This is the same post I had before but I change the title because I realize that the news articles were implying that the Russian arms companies were doing something illegal by just following the letter of the law / executive order. I also added: a direct link that was in the first story to the Reuters news original story. ****
