Exclusive–Rep. Massie: ‘Obama’s Swan Song Is Gun Control by Executive Order’
Breitbart News sat down with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY-4th Dist.) earlier this week, and he explained that he put forth a rider to a Department of Justice appropriations bill to block the ATF “from banning common rifle ammunition” out of concern that “Obama’s swan song is gun control by executive order.”
In sum, Massie said the Obama administration’s tactic is to “ban rifle cartridges that may have been fired in a handgun once.” After being fired that one time, the administration says, “This is handgun ammunition, and they ban it as armor piercing.”
We asked Rep. Massie if his rider to prevent future rifle ammunition bans will, in fact, prevent said bans. He responded, “Yes, as long as the Senate brings the appropriations bill up for a vote on the floor and allows amendments just like the House does.” If the amendment is kept in tact, it will be effective from October 1, 2015, until September 30, 2016. The Senate must be urged to act before September 30, 2015.
