Fellow Conservative,
Last month, I told you about a dangerous new regulation that, if enacted, would completely gut both the First and Second Amendments. Well, the Obama administration is moving forward with it and we are approaching its full enaction.
A new poll recently published shows that 33% of Americans, when asked, have no idea what the 1st Amendment protects. Only 57% of Americans understand that the 1st Amendment protects the freedom of speech. This is just so mind boggling.
Now, you’re probably asking what the freedom of speech has to do with the 2nd Amendment and gun control.
Well, imagine a world where you are prohibited from talking about guns on the internet; where there is a complete ban on instructional content and reviews. Imagine a world where the penalty for posting a gun-related Youtube video is 20 years in prison.
If Obama gets his way with his latest gun control executive action, this will become the reality!
It’s important to understand where this is coming from. Historically, the State Department has taken it upon itself to regulate firearms being trafficked out of the country. Known as the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), these rules control the import and export of defense-related articles and services.
Stopping someone from sending weapons to ISIS is one thing, but now the State Department believes it has the power to regulate and outlaw firearm knowledge on the Internet. They want to make you a criminal for sharing firearm knowledge online, even if it means violating your free-speech rights.
In the 1990s, computer scientists came up with what was, at the time, unbreakable computer security software. They combined series of numbers, letters, and symbols and what they got was an unbreakable code. Instead of allowing this software to be shared with the world, the State Department classified it as “munitions” and outlawed it from being disseminated.
The State Department is taking this same principle and trying to expand it to regulate even more protected free speech.
According to the latest update to the Federal Register, the State Department is aiming to “address the electronic transmission and storage of unclassified ‘technical data’ via foreign communications infrastructure.” In layman’s terms: if you talk about firearms online, and foreigners could possibly learn from it, you’d be a felon.
Here, the fight to protect the First and Second Amendments becomes one. The Obama administration is trying to sneak this regulation through without fanfare or media coverage. But now that you know, you have an obligation to rise up and stop it!
We still have time! Click to stop Obama from gutting the First and Second Amendments!
This is a cut-and-dry case of the Obama administration going too far. The penalty for breaking these new regulations is up to a million dollars and 20-years in prison! That would be the penalty for exercising your rights in Obama’s America…
It has never been easier to get into the shooting sports. Never shot a gun before? Don’t worry, there are tons of resources online to teach you how. Scared about disassembling and cleaning your gun for the first time? There are YouTube videos there to show you the way.
Everything you need to know about guns is at your disposal on the Internet and you are free to add to that discussion. However, the Obama administration wants to make all of this illegal.
This is nothing but an attempt to attack the first two amendments of the Bill of Rights. This new regulation was hidden within the Federal Registry announcements. If the Obama administration got its way, it would have stayed hidden.
But as I said earlier, now you know and with that knowledge comes a responsibility to stop it from going into effect!
We only have a short amount of time before this proposed rule change becomes permanent. It will take an act of Congress to put a stop to this madness. It is up to you to reach out to every single Congressman and Senator and force them to stop this unconstitutional executive action!
Sincerely,
Joe Otto
