Another reason to oppose Curly Q Lew (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?400848-Jack-Lew%E2%80%99s-Terrible-Signature-May-Grace-Dollar-Bills-Now). Though I suppose any Tres. Sec. would do the same if O Duce said.

Bet you didn't know what's hidden in The Gun Control Act of 1968.

The Treasury Secretary is vested with the right to ban importation of any firearm he finds "does not have a sporting purpose."

While this authority is "currently" delegated to the BATFE, it doesn't have to remain delegated. In fact, there is nothing legislative about that delegation to the best of my knowledge, which means it can be revoked by pure fiat.

Jack Lew, the person most-likely to be nominated to replace Geithner, is Obama's current Chief of Staff. As such it must be presumed that he will do whatever Obama wants, within the limit of his statutory authority.

And that authority includes the ability to ban the import of any gun.

The Gun Control Act of 1968 should be repealed. But so long as it stands, no person who comes from inside the Obama administration can be considered for confirmation to the Treasury Secretary's post, and any such person must be made subject to strict scrutiny on their 2nd Amendment views.

yes, indeed. It should be easier now that Justice Roberts ruled that the Commerce clause must be applied as ORIGINALLY INTENDED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seems like the Constitution has been targeted for a long long time.

Originally delegated by the Treasury Secretary? When will I wake from this blurry nightmare. There is no spoon....there is no spoon....
