Texas Gun Dealer Takes Obama’s Reporting Requirements to Court

The Obama administration decided to use Executive Orders back in July to mandate new firearms reporting requirements, but one San Antonio gun store is taking these anti-gun regulations to court.Texas Gun Dealer Takes Obamas Reporting Requirements to Court

Alex Hamilton, President of 10 Ring Precision Inc., has brought the suit against acting head of the ATF Ken Mehlman in U.S. District Court in San Antonio, Texas. In describing his reasons behind the lawsuit, Hamilton told the Texas Tribune:

“The whole thing is a waste of time…They don’t need to cause me to do more useless paper work when they have all the tools at their disposal.”

The lawsuit alleges economic losses to Hamiton’s business from both in-state and out-of-state purchasers who will refrain from buying firearms as a result of the infringement upon their privacy from the new reporting requirements. Hamilton also said his attorneys will assert in court that the rule exceeds the agency’s authority because it is not required by current law.

The regulations mandated by existing laws are already sufficient, Hamilton believes, to prevent and identify gun smuggling. There are also concerns about singling out certain states for new requirements, when gun smuggling can involve states far beyond the current range that targets those along the U.S.-Mexico Border.

Texas Gun Dealer Takes Obamas Reporting Requirements to CourtAlice Tripp, the legislative director for the Texas State Rifle Association, raised this issue of arbitrary enforcement with the Tribune:

“So if you’re in Texas you know you’ve got to do it, but if you go some cases 20 miles north, you don’t…like a bad guy wouldn’t go to Oklahoma.”

Indeed, there are concerns that executive fiat from the White House could expand gun regulations in other states as a sets a precedent for executive authority trumping legislative prerogative.

As the Texas Tribune wrote today on the current state of the new regulations in the Lonestar State:

“The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives issued a rule last week requiring licensed firearms dealers to report to the agency any time two or more long rifles are sold to the same buyer within a five-day period…The new requirement specifically pertains to rifles with calibers greater than .22 and capable of holding a detachable clip and that are sold in the four states that border Mexico, including Arizona, California and New Mexico.”

Many in the gun rights community feel the new rules are arbitrary in conception and useless in application. Beyond that, all of this wrangling comes during a time of deepened suspicion between the federal government and the gun owners.

The now-infamous federal gun sting “Operation Fast and Furious” remains under investigation and managers in that operation face serious Congressional scrutiny for allegedly allowing guns to walk across the U.S.-Mexico Border.

Meanwhile, Hamilton’s suit against the federal government is pending in court. The decision in the case could have far-reaching consequences for gun rights well beyond the great state of Texas.

As a matter of fact, do not be suprised if they try to link him to their fiasco farce of a program — the ‘fast and furious’ that should have been called ‘stupid and treason’ by the admin.

      @JZS – Oh really. You just happen to be an expert on this. I take it you’re the leading authority on gun smuggling out of the US, right? I’m also sure that you believe everything your government tells you. Fact is, most of these weapons come from the Mexican government… either their Army or their police. Now, the government purchases these guns from our government, but they are going to tell you that, because it would hurt their bottom line.

      “They reported them promptly, either while the transaction was going on or soon there after. They did this for months and months and months. Went through with the sales because the ATF told them to go through with the sales,” he added.

      And in case you don’t trust Fox,

      It comes as lawmakers are holding hearings into a once-secret government plan to encourage U.S. gun shops to sell thousands of guns to middlemen for Mexican drug cartels.

      So what Obama, Holder, and ATF did is commit a crime.
      And 2 law enforcement agents were killed because of their crime.

      Are you nuts? This government is caught in a lie trying to frame small gun dealers and you actually believe that garbage you just said? The number of weapons involved could not possibly come from small dealers. If they had found a way to sell that many guns, well they would no longer be small dealers would they. The ones with blood on their hands is this administration, namely Eric Holder and Barrack Obama.

      Negative my friend, most guns in Mexico are not coming from the U.S. that fact has been proved. Hillary and her anti-gun crowd spouted the false stats.

      Most guns used in Mexican drug wars, come from the Mexican Army and Police. They defected, and took guns with them.

      Of the guns that have came from American, many are stolen, and sold on the black market.

      When the libs in office could not back up the false gun claims, they put operation gun runner in affect, through the BATF, they had American gun dealers sell guns to head to Mexico. The plan was to stand back, and say “I told you so”, but it backfired with a border agent was killed with one of these guns.

      There is also a flow of guns up from South America. If there is a need for guns, people will get them.

      @JZS Why would they buy “70%” of their guns in the US when Central and South America are awash in cheap, effective, and reliable Soviet arms? For what it costs them to pick up one fully automatic military-grade assault rifle in the US they could buy four or five from south of them. Not to mention RPGs, grenades, and all kinds of goodies left over from the Cold War.

      I think the true figure is a lot smaller than 70%, and one has to wonder what percentage of THOSE ended up in MX thanks to BATFE

Some of these dealers have blood on their hands.” What exactly is your point? many of you posting on this comment should consider this. What does a firearm have to do with anything? more people are killed w baseball bats aka assault bats than firearms. Every state that has less stringent firearms laws have less crime. Progressives fail to include facts. Can you or any other ******* just stick with facts? use stats but use all of them, only when they seem to fit your agenda do you use. I almost can’t wait as sick as it sounds for the inevitable economic collapse for which not just Obummer but the previous adminis as well have 100% responsibility for.

      Really guys, what’s the rule here? If someone buys two AK 47 assault rifles in a one week period they have to be reported? And your objection is? If someone is stocking up on AK 47s, and keeps buying them, what do you imagine they’re for? Target shooting? How many AK 47s do you need for self defence? You guys aren’t stupid, what do you think is happening to most those guns?

      Billy, I see your point. Suppose your child dies of a heroine overdose. The drug dealer, naturally, is blameless. They don‘t even know for sure that you’re ever going to even use the drugs. Drugs don’t cause overdoses, people cause overdoses.

      1) 70% of statistics are made up on the spot 90% of the time.
      2) As someone else said above, American guns are in the hands of the military and police and end up going with them when they switch sides in the drug war. 90% of the police and military are corrupt in 50% of the country(sounds good, don’t it) You can use that one too. If you want you can write, After my research, I find that 50-90% of all Mexican Police and military are corrupted by American gun runners trying to get them to send more drugs.
      3) The rigorous requirements and regulations on FFL holders catches many oddities in gun-buying trends. They already track everything, even online purchses from gunbroker.com and gunsAmerica.com.
      It would make your head spin, the amount of paperwork involved in just holding someone’s weapon just for repairs. Gun dealers don’t just get to sell guns to whomever. There is plenty of regulation already.

      different topic, but all military bases in the U.S. are now requiring anyone who hunts or target shoots to register their firearms with the post provost marshall. A good number of people are upset about it/

      We have to do it because of the shooting that happened in Fort Hood, Texas.

      It made way to much sence for the leadership of the Army to show that they now have a method in place to check on an service member that may have extreemiest muslim views (no new reporting channels set up for that one). No new checks to see if any of our soldiers are from the middle east, north Africa have radical ties, or are communicating with AQI or other radical muslim groups.

      I guess it was easier to target white folks that hunt and shoot. Heck, how would it look if the military started looking for dudes with African decent, muslim education, and anti-American views….. That would put the commander in chief on the bad boy list. How would a thunk it.

      Just the facts – thank you,

      – William Hoover, assistant director for field operations at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, testified in the House of Representatives that “there is more than enough evidence to indicate that over 90 percent of the firearms that have either been recovered in, or interdicted in transport to Mexico, originated from various sources within the United States.”

      There’s just one problem with the 90 percent “statistic” and it’s a big one:

      It’s just not true.

      In fact, it’s not even close. The fact is, only 17 percent of guns found at Mexican crime scenes have been traced to the U.S.

      Your accusations simply are not true. You lie, either willingly, or more likely ignorantly. Most of the weapons come through Central America. Serial numbers were not traceable to the US. You cannot buy the military firearms, and machine guns in quantity here in the US. You cant buy RPG’s and grenades in the US.

      As to the weapons that did come from the US most were from small straw purchases, stolen guns, or in large scale with the direction from BHO, Holder, and Napolitano . If you think it doesnt go straight to the top your crazy.

      Hey Billy. I don‘t think you’re a moron. I‘m not sure you’re thinking very clearly though. You seem to have the idea that gun sellers would stand on their ethics and not sell assault weapons over and over to the same individual if they thought they might be selling those weapons to the bad guys. If it’s all innocent why not report that an individual seems to have an immediate need for lots of assault weapons? Would you be concerned if someone in your neighborhood seemed to buying a whole lot of assault weapons? Would you wonder why a single person needed weapons who have no other purpose except to kill people?

      This is not a good hill to take a stand on so to speak. The only people who need lots of assault weapons are either paranoid, or collectors (ha), or people who are going to sell those weapons for a profit (let’s not forget, the drug dealers are solvent, and will pay high prices for guns they can get fast). No, there’s a lot a profits being made on the border states supplying the bad guys with weapons. For sure, the guys buying these guns are not as naive as you are Billy.

      My only point was that the person who commits the actual crime has the blood on his hands, not the person or company that makes the item, or sells the item that is used in perpetrating the crime.

      You seem to think otherwise.

      Many of the cartel victims had their heads cut off, They were not shot. Does the retailer that sold the sharp object have blood on their hands?

      And you, once again have completely misunderstood, or are purposely ignoring the underlying point of the article, and used the basic topic, (This time, guns), to spew your leftist talking points.

      Even THOSE weapons include the THOUSANDS that U.S. Arms manufacturers SELL LEGALLY to the GOVERNMENT of MEXICO, which, in turn loses them into the hands of the drug cartels.

      MOST of the weapons, IN FACT, used in Mexican drug gangs, originate in SOUTH AMERICA.

Liberals don’t want to “disarm the country.” But when you object to any law that would prevent a known terrorist from obtaining assault weapons, I think that maybe you ought to give an inch.

      @JZS,

      If and when there are ever angry mobs roaming the streets, one might have to “assault” quite a few people to protect their family.

      IF a household consisted of 8 people, would 8 AK47″s be too many in your eyes?

      @JZS-
      Let me re-word. Socialist and communists like to disarm nations. Hitler (yes, he was a socialist), Mao, Stalin, Castro, Mousilini (howerver you spell his name)…… You can not have socialism and not disarm the people. Most of our modern day democrats are pure socialists now. Clinton wanted to hit hard with new gun control, and it cost him the house in 98. The NRA kicked in high gear.

      How many AK-47s do I need? None, I do not find it all that useful. How many ARs do I need? As many as it takes. I need on with a national match free floated barrel, as I shoot EIC matches, Presidents Hundred…. I need one M4 version for the 3-gun shoots. Another with a varmint barrel that I hunt with. It is my choice. The AK-47 sold in America is not full auto, but semi auto. The round is similar ballistically to the 30-30 deer hunting round. If the feds outlaw the AK, what else? What about my semi auto 12 gauge that I duck hunt with. It is a slippery slope when you begin to chose what gets outlawed, and what I can keep. In the right hands, a WWI 1903 Springfield can do just as much damage as an AK.

      Teddy Roosevlet started the CMP program, because he knew that a stable of well trained marksman could come in handy in the time of war. It is our right to have military style rifle, and be able to be highly trained with them (re-read that 2nd Ammendment). I am not talking about full auto machine guns, just the modern day battle rifle. Nothing special about that

      JZS, 70 percent of the TRACEABLE guns come from the US. The traceable guns make up a fairly small percentage of the guns used in drug crimes in Mexico. Somewhere in the 75-80 percent range are untracable, and come from the Mexican military, and other “black” sources.

      Get your facts straight. 70% of weapons that even had serial numbers that could be tracked back to their origins came from the U.S. If 100 guns were found and 10 had serial numbers only 7 came from the U.S. that leaves 93 that came from other places. Quit spouting your government rhetoric and present an argument based on factual information.

      Hey Speck. You ask, “Could you please inform me on the number limit that the second amendment places on firearms?” Funny, the word “firearms” isn’t in my copy either. My copy says, “A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.” Is that what yours says too?

      Like much of the Constitution that phrase is subject to interpretation. Does it mean I have the right to have nuclear arms? Should I assert my Second Amendment Constitutional right to possess surface to air missles? Hand grenades? Flame throwers or a bazooka?

      Of course not, There are limits that have to be based on reason. If you want to believe that those twenty AK 47s being sold over and over to the same person are for protection of a family of twenty, well, okay.

      Once again, the BATF already tracks what guns are sold, and to who. If a particular gun store sells twenty AKs to one individual, no special reporting is needed. Every sale requires a background check, and buyer has to fill out the same old form. The BATF tracks this, and has the ability to check on the person doing all the buying.

      Hi Brother. Cannons fall into your category of off limit arms for civilian’s right? Stupid question…did the militia use cannons? Would they have neglected bazookas and said “we don’t have the right to bear these arms? Don’t accuse me of calling for cannons, just applying your logic.

      You’re muddying the water with the missile/grenade non-sense. If people were calling for civilian nukes I’d concede the point, they’re not. You’re tying multiple firearms purchases which YOU deemed unnecessary to unnecessary “arms/bazookas” to ridicule those who do. See rule four in rules for radicals.

      You said “limits…based on reason.” Who’s reason? Can I impose my reason on you? Glad you don’t apply that logic to other amendments. I can hear it now. That man with 20 newspapers is excessively using his first amendment and must be up to no good.

      What is more dangerous, a law abiding citizen who owns 1,000 AK’s or a repeat domestic abuser with a baseball bat? What is wrong with that citizen owning 1,000 AK’s? Is it necessary, no, but is it necessary for Leno to own 1,000 cars?

      If you were victim to home invasion and could choose, would you be armed or unarmed? As one who likes results, why do you suppose gun free cities are the most dangerous in America?

      I would like to hear you answers to these questions . Weak enforcement of laws is to blame for crime, not law abiding citizens.

The information is already available to the FBI in their own systems. Run a freaking report as to how many weapons are purched by the same person in a 5 day period…this law is about intimidation and defacto removal of our rights via the lack of a challange to the executive order. If no one opposes it legally then itis accepted as ‘the law’ …opps there went another right.

      This is a very important distinction, as neither the AR, or AK platforms use a “Clip” – both are “magazine” fed semi-automatic rifles as sold into the commercial markets.

      Also, the AK is not .308, or 7.62 x 51 NATO, it is 7.62 x 39. The bore diameter is the same, but at 39 mm the AK round is much shorter than its 51 mm .308, or 7.62 NATO cousin. There are former East Bloc rounds in 7.62 x 54, appearing in similarly designed/intended rifles (longer range).

      Very good point. The AK-74 and the AR15 are indeed .22 caliber (.223 or NATO 5.56) with alot more “boost” than a standard .22 LR cartridge. They are also centerfire not rimfire. Confusing responses to your point though about AK-47′s. They are NOT .308 they are 7.62X.39. The .308 is about a quarter inch longer than the 7.62. You could send a 7.62 through a .308 but don’t reverse this as the .308 pressure is much higher. Besides, .308 won’t fit in the 7.62 “clip” ha ha ha!

      No, it isn’t….. when you say .308, you’re talking bore diameter. not casing size, which the 7.62 x “insert # here” there are many, many different size .308 caliber rounds…MANY….

      the 7.62 round is a .308 caliber round…period…

      Your right and wrong. The bore diameter is the equivalence of stating caliber. If you say it’s a .308 caliber you lump in any round the shoots that size bullet, with making the distinction of casing size…
      Again, no it isn’t….7.62 is a .308 caliber round. By claiming a .308 is some size your jumping to a conclusion. The distinction is on caliber, not casing size.

      The argument about clip vs. mag is the same as the argument of gun vs weapon vs rifle….

      I agree. I think anything Obama signs that seems ridiculous, 99% of everything he signs, should be challenged. Just like the Obamacare. You would think Justices would start looking more closely at what he signs. It’s sure to be unjust in some form.

    Just another one of Obammy’s laws that will be decided by the courts. Thank goodness we live in a Republic. If we didn’t he would be a full unchecked dictator.

    This might be exactly what is needed to flush Holder and the DOJ out. Maybe in taking them on this guy will get them to open their big arrogant mouth about something on this or divulge who gave the order for Fast & Furious and Gunwalker programs. I know I know we all know the order more of less came from the oval office but we need it captured on audio or video. DOJ, ATF etc are so corrupt and all taking orders from Emperor Obama. I mean he used an executive order to bypass Congress but more importantly to bypass the Constitution and spit in the faces of American all in the name of safety. Thats what they will do, that will be their motto “For Your Protection” Am I the only one who kinda wished that earthquake… err I mean Founding Fathers rolling over in their graves was a doosey?

    I think its imperative that all gun owners support this lawsuit with donations to Mr. Hamilton. If he does not already have a legal defense fund he needs one as I would rather send him some money at this point as opposed to bying more ammo … if OBUMMER has his way they will be reporting all ammo sales and may forbid having more than a box or too at any one time. Slippery slope people…

      I know a gun shop in ABQ New Mexico has also filed legal action against the Feds and I’m sure AZ and CA have or will also. I think all states should support their suits, just like Obamacare.

      Guys the best way to deal with monicene or whatever it/he/she is calling itself this week, is to ignore it. Basically, you have a very insecure person, who’s never had an original thought in its entire life, as shown by the similar screen identities, shouting, “Hey! Look at me!! I matter! Really I do!”. The worst thing you can do to such a creature is to ignore them. They’ll finally get so dispirited they/ll go away, and everyone else can go back to having a good time. So say goodbye to whatever Monice is, cause the one thing we do know about them is that they were a buzzkill.

      Oh, hello little troll. It would behoove you to understand the issue before making a comment. That way you won’t look so foolish. This is NOT a law passed by congress, this is an illegal executive order made by the pretend president in direct violation of the second amendment. Go on back to Huff & Puff now. They still miss their idiot.

    “Operation Fast and Furious” was implemented so obama could use the consequence of it to justify this type of executive order that we see in Texas. just one more infringement on the 2nd amendment.

      Exactly! This was the original point of the ATF exercise- to fabricate a supposed need to curtail gun ownership in the US through more stringent gun control laws.
