I personally don't have any interest in these kind of guns, but this looks bad.

ALERT: The Gonzales Gun Grab
http://www.atf.gov/firearms/071305openletter.htm
As of today, July 14th, ATF/DOJ has banned all importation of barrels for
use in 'non-sporting firearms'. This "ruling" comes after two weeks of
specific denials by ATF officials that any such ban was going to occur.
This "ruling" is a backdoor attempt at reinstating the Assault Weapons
Ban of 1994, by de facto banning import of guns which (in effect) meet
the expired AWB definition. This ban is a direct attack on the home-builder
and antique collector community.
WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU:
* AK-47s will double in price. AK variants using unusual barrels will be available in very small quantities if at all.
* Semi-automatic versions of historic weapons such as the Maxim, Vickers, Bren, and MG-42 will disappear from new production.
* FALs will increase in price by at least $250.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
* Contact
NRA-ILA
https://secure.nraila.org/Contact.aspx
GOA
http://www.gunowners.org/
JPFO
http://www.jpfo.org/
IMMEDIATELY and politely demand that they take action.
* Once one or more groups begins a letter writing campaign, JOIN IT.
REMEMBER:
* ATF wants you to believe that this is merely an enforcement of existing law. Don't believe it. This is a backdoor AWB. We can turn this around.
* We hang together or hang seperately! Just because you don't own an AK or homebuild does not mean you can ignore this. If they will go after a harmless group like collectors, they will go after anyone. You ARE next.
* The Gunowning community needs multiple advocates. If you are only a member of one RKBA group, join more!
* GET ACTIVE and join letter writing campaigns!
