The Obama Administration(OA) has decided to ban the importation of AK rifles, which also includes Saiga shotguns, from Russia. This ban on importation allows the current stock of AKs to be sold, but no new ones will be imported, so there will be no more AK sales eventually in the united states because there wont be anymore to be sold. The reason OA has decided to ban AKs, is because they are trying to hurt the Russian economy, as well as their energy and defense sectors.
The Kalashnikov is one of the most popular, reliable, and most used platform in the world. The ban of these weapons will cause widespread anger within the nation, as well as an huge increase in price of the ammunition and the weapons. This Importaion ban can only lead to OA further eroding our rights as american citizens
