Have YOU read Executive Order 13662? I don't think so. I think you just read what some rightwingnut posted somewhere, figuring people wouldn't actually look it up, and tried to pull the same bulls**t here. EO 13662 says nothing about restricting gun rights. It's one of the executive orders placing sanctions against Russia. WTF are you talking about?
Executive Order 13662 of March 20, 2014 Blocking Property of Additional Persons Contributing to the Situation in Ukraine
Sec. 9. This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

Some other people might take the same view with what he said!!!! Huh!!
http://www.dcclothesline.com/2014/07/17/executive-order-13662-obama-bans-ak-47s/On Wednesday Barack Obama used his powerful pen to effectively ban AK-47s, and other Kalashnikov Russian-made imports, indefinitely. This will include the import of parts and accessories so it affects current owners as well as those looking to make a new purchase. If you like your gun, you can keep it. Just dont expect to be getting parts for it without paying a small fortune.
The Executive Order was issued under the guise of punishing Russia with more santions. Considering AK-47s are one of the weapons that this administration, and certain members of congress, have been looking to ban, that excuse doesnt seem to hold much credibility. As John Galt said, The good news is Obama has not banned Vodka imports from Russia yet, probably because he is the biggest homolush in Amerika.
Dont be fooled. There is always an agenda.
The ban is effectively against all AK-line Kalashnikov imports, which obviously covers much more than just AK-47s.
Kurt Nimmo reports:
Obama exploited the conflict in Ukraine to target the importation of the popular AK line of firearms manufactured by Kalashnikov Concern in Izhmash, Russia. The unconstitutional ban includes the Saiga line of rifles and shotguns.
The Treasury Departments Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) attempted to soften the blow by stating the executive order does not outlaw Kalashnikov firearms legally purchased in the United States prior to the ban.
The OFAC, according to its website, administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on US foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign countries and regimes, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and other threats to the national security, foreign policy or economy of the United States.
The criminalization of an entire line of foreign manufactured firearms is possible under national emergency powers and there is no appeal process.
No appeal process? I thought I was living in America.
Is this the Hope and Change that people v**ed for?
