And yet another reason to despise democraps. They used to say "all roads lead to Rome." Today, all the roads to the destruction of the American way of life lead to the democraps, yet with each passing day, they continue to gain in strength...
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

the Kenyan is not the first President to limit or curtail re imports of US military weapons.
Reagan, Bush and Clinton all issued instructions to the BATF to limit re imports.

where this comes to play, among others i am sure, is the approximately 200k of garands, carbines, in south korea. There have been attempts to reimport those rifles for years. Last fall it looked like it was signed, sealed, and delivered, until the hillary state department squashed the already approved deal.
This is a real shame, as while some of the rifles were pretty trashy, there were unissued, unused garands in the deal.
After all, your typical gangbanger would use a garand, maybe, to hold up a 7/11.

I also might add, i wouldn't totally blow off the article. There has been a steady restriction on importation of all kinds of stuff, such as a.k. parts kits, barrels, and so on.
And it runs hot and cold.
When we were in love with the russians when the berlin wall fell, they were allowing in S.V.T. 40's from russia, the russian version of the garand. Until they decided couldn't have that.
And that is how a 200dollar rifle becomes 1000 dollars, real quick.

If the CMP has no rifles to distribute then in effect it is near death.

If the CMP has no rifles to distribute then in effect it is near death. the cmp has been running out of rifles for quite some time, thus the 1100 dollar reconditioned garands, built with criteron barrels, new stocks and so on. They were getting to the bottom of the barrel. At one time for a couple hundred, you could have a really nice garand from the dcm. Of course inflation and so on uped the price, but these things don't last forever.

Its been overcome more than a few times in the past too. And CMP continues to run. Its not as easy without the guns, but it will continue at least for some time. Too many folks rely on them for match support, ammo sales, etc.... DOens't mean I like the kenyans stupidity... but it ain't tin foil hat time yet.

They just don't have anything worth a schitt to sell....compared to what was available in the past. The 'nuts' were cut out of the CMP when JFK got his azz waxed!!

I don't think i would totally agree with that, as there has been a bunch of stuff come accross. I could mention the italian return carbines, the german carbines out of the 3rd army, target .22 rifles and so on. And earlier this year, while it take a while for it to show up, you could put in a order for 5k a case of .22LR ammo. It showed up i think in september. Stores locally still don't have it around. They were selling m1carbine brass just in the last couple of weeks. Try finding that in a local store.

I might add, while i don't have a lot of interest in the "built" garands, for the money they are certainly a good deal. New wood, new park, new barrel, and competitive price. They have also started gunsmithing services with these rifles. Gunsmithing them is a speciality in its own right.

Executive order is not a law. It is his expressed desire to see this happen, usually gives it to someone to get it done. We all need to make sure our representatives know how we feel about this.
Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger.

Lend Lease weapons or weapons that were given to a nation cannot be SOLD back to anyone in the US because technically they are owned by the US already. And if there is no money in it, no nation is just going to give them back for free.
