With the impending change of POTUS, this question now has new legs.
The importation ban on Russian goods, arms included, resulted from the current POTUS' executive/imperial order(s).
Vague references have surfaced about such orders being reversed in the near future, pending the Inaugural.
Vague doesn't get it, in my estimation.
This question needs to be raised out loud, and in a united voice. Time is come to motivate our NRA Membership and Leadership, as well as our own Congress critters and other Gun Rights Organizations to unbreakable resolution among gun owners to unequivocally reject the status quo and return to the days prior to when harassing legitimate gun owners became a Legislative/Executive sport.
The NRA has provided crucial support to this new administration, and I think this is an area where they now have an obligation to their membership and the rest of the entire Nation to press this issue without fail.
IMHO, the smarmy practice of piling it on the backs of legitimate, eagerly law abiding gun owners constitutes nothing less than a veiled national politically motivated conspiracy, not unlike a RiCO violation, and Atty General-Select Session needs to begin pressing the process of constructing conspiracy and RICO prosecution against the offending parties, including current and past government officials. IMHO, an Independent Federal Prosecutor needs to be established for the purpose of pursuing prosecution aimed in this direction.
This past election was not about politicians' personal peccadilloes, it was about widespread abuse of authority at all levels of government. At least there is finally access to the abusers at the Federal level,at last, and maybe further down in the future.
This distinction specifically includes individuals like Senate Minority Leader Schumer, and House Minority Leader Pelosi. They have literally built their professional careers upon trammeling individual firearms ownership rights in exchange for accruing dubious political advantages in the form political gain and their own continued employment on the people's dime. Lest we forget, this abuse has enjoyed residence on both sides of the Aisle.
This is a matter of organized conspiracy to deny a constitutionally enumerated right to entire categories of citizens. It's criminal in intent, and if it's not a discrete criminal violation, legislation needs to be enacted to make it so. This needs to be more than poo-pooed, it needs to be prosecuted and punished. Communications corporations in this Nation are Federally Licensed.
Communications corporations who participate(d) in this travesty must be held accountable. Where Civil Rights are involved, the First Amendment MUST conform to limits of compelling decency.
This is really, simply a different shade of Jim Crow. Civil rights are not just about race and creed, there are Enumerated Constitutional Amendments that demand active enforcement at the Federal level. Our own government has perpetrated all of the related offenses at that (and other) levels, so this is simply a matter of reestablishing a legitimate balance.
Reparation, in the form of restored freedoms and legislation prohibiting actions by government entities to backslide in this matter must become established law.
The Status Quo Must Go!
