The executive orders announced by President Obama with the goal of addressing gun violence do anything but.
The "surplus military weapons" that are being banned from importation by executive order are from World War II or earlier. These are firearms with historical value such as the M1 Garand often categorized as "curios" or "relics." They are not used in gang violence and are not found on our streets; they are collector's items. According to FBI statistics, rifles and shotguns combined accounted for fewer murders than unarmed attackers from 2007-2011.
Criminals do not create corporations or trusts to purchase and register firearms.
These actions only infringe upon the 2nd amendment rights of law-abiding Americans. Please reconsider and retract these executive orders. Thank you.
