Such munitions are contained in the appropriately named
"U.S. Munitions Import List."

As you can see, the basic idea of who can buy and sell
tanks, armored personnel carriers, helicopter gunships, etc.
fall within the provisions of the rule, but note the change:




Now, Eric Holder, all by himself, can declare any article
that has "substantial military applicability" to be on
the Munitions List. Given the track record of this
administration, I suspect that with a few months we
will find every pistol grip, folding/collapsing stock, magazine
with a capacity over 5? 10? 15? rounds, telescopic sight,
laser sight, calibers of .50 and above, and many more
"items" will be declared as "designed or modified for
military purposes" and banned from import or export.

How can they modify current law (§ 447.21) without congress? Doesn't that "addition" have to be approved by congress?
