President Obama has just signed an executive order that could actually cripple the people who work as gunsmiths. This new law would reclassify gunsmiths as gun manufacturers. What is the big deal with that? Well the fact that if they are reclassified, then people would have to pay an insane amount of money every time they wanted an improvement.

Most people that live in the United States have some sort of a budget. This allows them to properly save and decide what they can, and sometimes should, spend their money on. Well for gun owners part of the budget includes ammo, making some repairs, or anything compared to that.

Well this new law that Obama has signed in would not only destroy that budget, it most likely is going to destroy a lot of gunsmiths. First off, the law requires that many gunsmiths would have to register with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls.

That register itself comes with an annual fee that STARTS at $2,250. I don’t know about you, but I don’t exactly have an extra $2,250 lying around. Now the new law does say you don’t need to register if your business doesn’t do any of the following: “Cutting, drilling, or machining for installation” or “repairs involving replacement parts that do not improve the accuracy, caliber, or other aspects of firearm operation”.

Well guess what? The problem with that is many gunsmiths actually do have to compromise the original firearm to make the necessary corrections. So basically this law is going to force a lot of gunsmiths to hike up their prices so that they can afford this new annual fee.

This doesn’t even involve complicated measures. It could simply be a routine trigger installation. Well because of this new law, they would have to drive up the price to compensate. We’re not talking about a small raise to adjust for other costs either. No this would absolutely skyrocket the price.

This goes back to the budget issue. How much money can you take from one area and put it to another area without causing a huge mess? It is going to become very difficult for people to try and work this out on a budget.

The other thing that can possibly happen is that the small businesses that operate as gunsmiths are going to be driven into the ground. They can’t afford to pay this fee at the beginning. Guess what? That will cost people JOBS. That one thing that we really need right now.

This is also how stupid this law is. When you have car troubles, you go to a mechanic to fix the problems. Well if this new law were enacted in the automotive world, then this mechanic would have to be labeled a “vehicle manufacturer” and pay the same fees as say Ford or General Motors.

See how foolish that sounds? But this is the same fight that gun rights activists have to fight everyday. It’s like this. When someone dies in a drunk driving accident, they blame the person for drinking and driving. Yes that is correct. But when there is a mass shooting, people blame the gun.

Wait what? How is the gun the issue? It’s an inanimate object. You don’t blame the car in the drunk driving incident but you blame the gun for the shootings? No it was the person that did it. But people just can’t seem to realize that. That includes the president himself.

Obama is so dead set against guns that he has tried to find a way to destroy them without actually touching the Second Amendment. How can you operate and own a weapon if you can’t make routine repairs on it? Not only would you not be able to improve your gun because you want to, it would also be dangerous.

If you can’t properly make repairs, then the chances of you getting hurt increase. So this law is not only going to drive people out of business, it is going to hurt gun owners, literally. All of this is because Obama doesn’t believe in the Second Amendment.

Need more proof? At a funeral for POLICE OFFICERS, he started talking about how we need stricter gun control laws. Guess what Mr. President; people who obtain guns the LEGAL way aren’t on the streets shooting and killing innocent people. But your ideology is that if we take away guns, then less people will die.

You want to know why that isn’t possible? Just take a look at Chicago. The city has some of the toughest gun control laws in the entire United States and it has been labeled a “war-zone.” People who buy and own guns the legal way aren’t the ones that are blowing each other away.

But you can’t separate that. You just want guns to be gone. So you think by enacting this law that it will drive people to not own a gun because they can’t clean it. Well the other action that will happen is that more people will be hurt because they try to clean the weapon themselves and it turns out bad.

I’m sure your intent wasn’t to hurt the people of the United States, but your fascination with getting rid of guns has led you to this point. Now people are going to be out of a job and other people are going to get hurt. Nice job Obama.

Please share this article so that people can realize what this law is actually going to do. Maybe if enough people realize what it really is, then we can take action to get it revoked. But we can only do this with your help. Do your part and get the word out.
