what was the reason given ?

""The commerce department did not provide further details for the pause, which also includes shotguns and optical sights, but said an urgent review will assess the “risk of firearms being diverted to entities or activities that promote regional instability, violate human rights, or fuel criminal activities”. ""

Sounds like an excuse which could be used for exporting anything

.

HOW ABOUT HALTING ILLEGAL ALIENS ENTERING THIS COUNTRY FOR THE VERY SAME CONCERN ???

yeah well it started in 2006 during W Bush so the dem media already reported on it but Obama kept it going, they did report that but not in a big way. My theory always was that Obama was a puppet and not really in charge but if people don't believe that then he must have signed off on it, or else the theory is that the ATF went rogue and did it against his wishes, like with CIA and JFK.
