gunsmithing and new executive order.

President Obama has just signed a new executive order that will essentially put a majority of small gunsmiths and niche gun parts makers out of business. Essentially, the new regulations mean that small gunsmiths who fabricate or modify parts of any kind could be labeled as manufacturers under current ITAR regulations.
I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly

    The EO only changes rules for those FFLs and Gunsmiths that make Defense articles. If you don't work under contract or subcontract for the DOD, it does not apply to you.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Some time ago I was informed a manufacturers' licence was required for producing anything other than grips.
    modifying parts required a gunsmith licence.
    Someone got in a bunch of trouble making moulds.
    Tell me some or all is untrue.

    Apples and oranges. That is not what this is about.
