down load it today

The NRA puts out propaganda just like any other group does. Blindly following what they say is just as bad as blindly following what anybody else says.

absolutely, without fear mongering their waning financial support would dwindle more so than it is

I am not in favor of this if it is true, but if it is true it will simply mean we will have to go back to the days before the internet and use books to work up a new handload or figure out how to DCOA your firearms. ....................until they ban them too, by which time it will be too late to do anything about the situation.
There's that frog in the pot of water over the fire thing again.

Ya, the current administration would never lie to you...

You should boycott the United States! Do it! Don't be a coward!

Well I haven't been spending money on new stuff which slows down the velocity of money. Right now money is at its lowest velocity since the great depression, what little I buy just adds to the low velocity. Money is a weapon, just hope your job last.

Good Lord you must be fun at parties.

Obama's State Department Could Gag Firearms Communications over the Internet

Not a GOA member yet? You can join Gun Owners of America today for a mere $20!

A rewrite of the State Department's arms control regulations could potentially grant the State Department a wide-ranging power to monitor and control gun-related speech on the Internet.

The State Department is updating the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and has amended the existing regs to include "making technical data available via a publicly available network (e.g., the Internet)."

This restriction on Internet "speech" is wholly new language and puts anyone who violates this provision in danger of facing decades in prison (up to 20 years) and massive fines (up to $1 million).

The language is so broad that it could potentially include virtually any gun-related communication of a functional "how to" nature.

The language includes (1) non-automatic and semi-automatic firearms up to .50 caliber; (2) automatics up to .50 caliber; (3) other firearms of "special military application"; (4) shotguns with a barrel length less than 18 inches; and (5) components, parts, and ammunition for all of these.

In other words, electronically posting information on virtually any firearm or ammunition could be defined by the Obama administration as requiring, not only government permission, but potentially a government license.

And again, violators would potentially face significant criminal penalties.

Revised definitions could license (a.k.a., ban) 3-D printers

Another threat to gun rights is found in the revised definition of "defense article," which has been redefined to be "any item, software, or technical data...."

So posting certain gun-related "software" to the Internet would first require a license -- and a huge license fee. While the term "software" is new, the State Department contends that this is a mere tweaking and represents "no substantive change."

But if there's one unbreakable rule in politics, it's that, when drafters take the time and effort to add a provision to the underlying text, it is never, never, ever without reason.

And if there's a second unbreakable rule, it's that the drafters will inexorably lie and say they're "only codifying current law."

What "software" should we be concerned about? Well, to start with, 3-D printer programming almost certainly falls within this category and these regs seems to be an effort to outlaw this technology by executive fiat.

San Antonio gun author Nick Leghorn, who writes for The Truth About Guns, predicts an end to "Encryption programs like TrueCrypt as well as 3D models of firearms...."

There is much more that's involved with these regulations, and you can read about it in greater detail here.

ACTION: You can submit comments to the State Department in opposition to the proposed arms control regulations by going here. Simply cut-n-paste the text below into the online comment box. And if you wish to read the State Department regulations, you can do so here.

To whom it may concern:

I strongly oppose the rewrite of the State Department's arms control regulations (ITAR), which could potentially grant the State Department a wide-ranging power to monitor and control gun-related speech on the Internet.

The new language -- which includes "making technical data available via a publicly available network (e.g., the Internet)" -- could put anyone who violates this provision in danger of facing decades in prison and massive fines.

I also oppose the addition of the word "software" into these regulations, as it appears to be a not-so-veiled effort to ban 3-D printers.

I urge you to repeal these new regulations in their entirety. Whether you like it or not, the First and Second Amendments are still the law of the land!

I do not believe that he could get away with 'book burning', which is basically what this is. Stop free speech???
I don't see this happening. Not that his emperor would not try it, but it won't fly even with the Dems in Congress. It aint gonna happen. IMHO

 

[Solved]

Maybe a long shot here. But it's not news that intel, apple, microsoft, facebook [the list goes on] all in one way or another track your information.

If we can prove that a company accessed your information and it contained this data, then the company would be liable for exporting the information.

Who am I kidding, surely the president wouldn't dare harm a multinational corporation.

 

[BanjoGeek]

Ever give any thought as to who has 1 million to pay out in a fine. Where's this BS come from. 20 years in prison? Real well thought out. This stuff is way off the scale. Talk about national debt, take tax paying citizens off the payroll and support them in prison because bamma-lamma-ding-dong and his commies have a fairly wet dream? This stuff is ready made for an Orwellian movie. Soylent Green, here we come.

I agree Jim, it's a good practice (in any case) to keep hard copies (document) of information (loading tables, part numbers, warranties, & maintenance records) on handloading data, radio frequencies, firearms, tools, appliances, automobiles, & equipment).

Keeping repair parts for all your firearms in an online wish list would enable a speedy purchase in case of an emergency. Exploit the tools we have.

But some people keep voting for the farthest "left" politicians they can find...... Some people keep supporting far left establishments (gun free zones)......

The talking head (teleprompter reader) is merely the mouthpiece for 40-60% of the country on any given topic.

I cannot believe this is happening in the United States of America. But, it looks like this is starting to have an affect on the sharing of firearm related information:
