In an unexpected move, the U.S. Commerce Department recently announced a halt on the export of most civilian firearms and ammunition for a period of 90 days.
This decision was based on concerns over the potential diversion of firearms to entities that might promote regional instability, violate human rights, or exacerbate criminal activities.

The Rationale Behind the Ban
One wonders, is there a hidden agenda behind this move?
Glenn Beck and Stu Burguiere, well-known radio show hosts, recently embarked on a detailed analysis of how this temporary ban could have repercussions for gun companies, especially as some factions continue to challenge the 2A.
Another critical update discussed was the recent incident in Maine, where a suspected killer of 18 individuals was discovered deceased.
Impact on Gun Sales Abroad
With the U.S. being a significant player in the global firearms market, this export restriction could potentially decelerate the rapid growth of gun sales abroad seen over the past two decades.
The Second Amendment Debate
Stu pointed out that this move is seen by some as an attempt to weaken the firearms industry, thereby indirectly targeting the Second Amendment.
He argued that firearms, beyond being a means of business, are essential tools for individuals’ protection, especially against potential threats.
However, a counterpoint raised by Beck was that the government claims to be implementing this ban to ensure that firearms sold internationally by U.S. manufacturers don’t end up in the wrong hands.
Beck highlighted the inconsistency in this stance by mentioning the U.S. government’s large arms shipment to Ukraine without stringent tracking.
The Right to Self-defense
A central theme of their discussion revolved around the Second Amendment, which doesn’t solely cater to sports enthusiasts. Its core principle lies in natural law, emphasizing every individual’s fundamental right to life and, by extension, the right to self-defense.
They pointed out that this right becomes even more relevant today, given the threats posed by external entities, the state of the nation’s police forces, and global events that resonate the importance of self-defense.
Glenn Beck’s Analysis:
We saw what 28 individuals could do. On September 11th. Are you telling me, you’re comfortable, that there aren’t enough people to cause real problems in our country? In multiple places? It was emergency alert squads. It was civilian gun owners. Single cops. Soldiers who ran towards the sound of gunfire. Undermanned and outgunned. What would the result have been, if the population of Israel, had been completely disarmed and helpless? Fully dependent on their security forces. How many would be dead? Far more than are. This lesson has not been missed in Israel. Which is actually very restrictive on firearm regulations. Not everybody can have a gun. Those who can, usually granted one handgun in 50 bullets, no more. All fully registered and permitted. I think Israel should adopt a full Second Amendment right.
The Current State of Affairs
Discussing recent events, Beck touched upon the mass shooting incident in Maine, emphasizing the numerous red flags that were ignored.
This led to a broader conversation on the significance of the Second Amendment in today’s socio-political climate. They argued that amidst weaponized government agencies and external threats, the right to bear arms remains as vital as ever, not only for sports or leisure but fundamentally for self-defense.
In conclusion, Glenn emphasized the critical role of firearms in ensuring personal safety, urging citizens to understand their rights and be prepared to defend themselves and their loved ones if the need arises.
Amidst all these discussions, the underlying question remains: Is the Biden administration’s recent move genuinely in the best interests of the nation, or is it yet another step towards eroding citizens’ rights?
*** Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica! All Local Sales are FREE! ***
The fake POTUS (genuine POS) has flooded the world with firearms (Ukraine, Afghanistan, Mexico et cetera) and yet he wants to shut down legal US commerce.
Almost 50 years the CIA killed JFK because he was supposedly a existential threat to the US but now many Americans realize that the CIA was the greatest threat to our way of life. Now we have a fake POTUS (self soiling, corrupt, child molesting, environmental terrorist, anti-America, greedy. liar) in the WH as a puppet of the CIA (Criminals in charge of America). The deep state now embraces Communism and a former CIA Director (John Brennan) was also a card carrying Communist.
We have been lied to again, more lies to follow.

The past tends to repeat itself…we are now embarking again on the King Arthur holy war crusades against Islam, or perhaps vis a versa the Islam holy war against all other religions. Do not be fooled, everything happening now goes back to Moses, the slavery by Egyptians and Arabs of Hebrews, the Islamic Palestine and Middle East against Catholicism and Israel. Now war will erupt INSIDE THE USA by illegal criminal border crosses that get “legally” a soc sec card and driver’s license, thus legal purchase of firearms and voting capability. It’s n9thing new.
It is unbelievable that in a country surround by Jew haters and terrorists that Israel has such a crazy strict gun control regulation… they should be allowed to have full auto machine guns! October 7th would have been minimal…
Let’s call an apple an apple. Democrat equals communist, period.
Some of them are sympathizing with NAZIs in Gaza. So, they can be Commies or NAZIs. But, when the barrel of a gun is behind your head and you are staring down into an open grave, does it really matter what brand of Socialism the gunman supports? Socialism=NAZIsm=Communism=Totalitarianism=Death
People are expendable if that’s what it takes for gun confiscation.
Hell , maybe reloading components will be a
bit easier to acquire now that they’re not
shipping to our adversaries .
‘ Never know .
IMHO, Biden wants to be the ONLY money laundering gun runner in America like his predecessor Obama sending firearms to the Mexican Cartel
The post constitutional government is now a banana republic police state superpower. What could go wrong?
DEMOCRATS are the unmitigated enemy of the constitution. Regarding the Israel attack, I’m stunned by the number of American Jewish descendants consistently vote for democrats. It just boggles the mind. All they want to do is destroy Israel. PLEASE do not support ANY democrat from local to federal government.
Stay safe all.

this is to shift the blame off of biden and obama who left all those weapons and ordinance in the middle east
