Hussein Trying To Kill The Civilian Marksmanship Program

Obama’s New Executive Order Will Kill 110 Year-Old Civilian Marksmanship Program

Thursday I wrote about how President Obama announced two new executive orders concerning guns and attempting to cut down on gun violence. Through one of these actions, the administration attempts to “ban almost all re-imports of military surplus firearms to private entities”. But what many may not realize, is with this executive action, President Obama is effectively shutting down the 110-year-old Civilian Marksmanship Program.

This order is trying to “keep military-grade firearms off our streets”. How many military-grade weapons do you see on the streets?

The CMP tightly controls the distribution of obsolete military weapons. The program was created by the U.S. Congress as part of the 1903 War Department Appropriations Act with the purpose of allowing civilians to hone their marksmanship skills, should they later be called into military service.

Participants receiving firearms through the CMP must comply with all state and federal firearm laws and undergo a background check conducted by a dealer holding a Federal Firearms License in order to receive the gun.

Additionally, they must also be a member of a CMP affiliated shooting club, making participating in the program more difficult than anyone trying to purchase a firearm through usual retail channels.

For the New Year and the Future of Liberty!

“Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it.” –Thomas Paine (The American Crisis, No. 1, 1776)

Happy New Year!

We enjoyed a week of rest and recovery with our families, but we enter this year locked and loaded.

At no time since FDR’s regime has our republic’s Constitution, and the Liberty it enshrines, been at greater risk of evisceration by political “enemies domestic.”

Project Gunrunner Backfires on the Left

“A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” –Second Amendment to the United States Constitution

Barack Hussein Obama and his Socialist cadre1, in their enthusiasm to “fundamentally transform2 the United States of America,” have redoubled efforts to do what all tyrannical governments must do to establish absolute state supremacy and usurp Rule of Law3 — disarm the people.

Leftists accomplish this through incremental implementation of gun confiscation measures, most of which are overt political machinations. These include legislation written and promoted by Leftist groups such as the American Bar Association, Physicians for Social Responsibility, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, the Violence Policy Center, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, and the Brady Campaign.

Current legislation under consideration includes H.R. 308 to limit rounds in magazines, S. 35 to lock in gun show registrations, S. 436 designed to “fix gun checks,” and, most disturbing, the reauthorization of Section 215 of The Patriot Act, which permits the FBI to seize gun sale records (4473’s) pursuant to “an authorized investigation.” Regarding the latter, the Inspector General estimated that between 2003 and 2006, the FBI exceeded its authority under Section 215 in more than 6,000 instances.
