brokengun Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 BREAKING NEWS! Obama is already implementing the Inter Arms treaty ITAR through rules changes made by the Bush administration. Gun parts supplier Brownells as already sent out a letter to their vendors asking if they are in compliance with the new rules. "International Trade in Arms Regulation" treaty, or ITAR. Administered by the State Department through something called the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC), this treaty is supposed to keep track of "defense" exports. Unfortunately, what you don't know is about to hurt you. The new rules will force sellers to be listed as manufacturers. Subsection I(a) of the ITAR includes all firearms, barrels, "military" scopes, and all "components, parts, accessories and attachments" for any listed item. Subsection III includes manufacturers of ammunition, bullets, and technical data for the production of the above. If you cast bullets at home and sell them to your neighbors, you need to file with the DDTC. ITAR calls for government registration of all arms manufacturing. Should the government decide NOT to issue a registration permit to any of those people, they're out of business, immediately. Basic registration has climbed from a few hundred dollars for a multi-year registration four years ago to $2,250 per year. Fail to pay this, and you risk federal prosecution. Businesses that export, the fees will be even higher. http://www.progunleaders.org/DDTC You must go to the link to get all of the information needed if were going to stop the new rules.
