We could then legally say we weren’t directly supplying the British with weapons. We bought goods from the British, and in return we sold them arms.

An example would be in WW2 before Pearl Harbor, America was trying to stay out of the war. This is a way to keep your hands clean being able to say you not supporting a side. The sanctions are not approved against Ukrainian companies, and are likely not to have any placed on them as government has a long history of supporting a side by “purchasing” goods then “selling” other goods to them. Once the sanctions are dropped by congress, the EO has absolutely no power, again because it is an addition to a congressional approved sanction. The “ban” is not against just Russian Ak’s, but all products produced by Russian companies. The reason the current ban is legitimate is because it’s a directive added on to a congressional approved sanction. As much as he wants to, an import ban is above his power. Obama can’t leave a ban in place with an EO. My first reaction was to pony up and pay the extra after all would prices go down any time soon or ever? Then I talked with Texas Law Shield and while the legal minds would not prognosticate about market forces and price, they did shed some light that changed my mind.

Supply and demand ruled, and the seller had a sudden change of heart-about a 25% change of heart. I have been in the market for an AK and was set to pull the trigger on an upcoming sale when the news hit. It’s no secret that some ARs command a premium price due to quality and many AK enthusiasts would say the same about Russian guns, but what about the same heart and soul (machines and gunsmiths) being relocated? Wouldn’t the Russian guns under a new name be just good? Therefore, it looks as if other companies could still manufacture and export AK-47s to the U.S.! If that were the case, how hard would it be for Kalashnikov Concern to open a new company or move manufacturing to a neighboring country and be right back in business? Like the AR platform, AKs already have multiple manufacturers so getting replacement parts may not be as big an issue as many previously believed. In reading the order, specific companies and people were named, not the products. Withal, Edwin Walker from Texas Law Shield wasn’t finished. Once the details were released (last week), the sanctions kicked in banning the Russian arms. However, it takes time for the bureaucracy to figure out the details. An “Open” Division Saiga 12 in actionįirst, the executive order was signed months ago not last week. After a quick conversation, we need to make a couple of corrections and share some good news from the law guys.

While true on the surface, Texas Law Shield took a look. Last week we reported on President Obama’s executive order 13662 stating the banning of Russian AK-47s, Saigas and Izhmash firearms and parts.
