Floundering with Syria, Obama strikes a blow to gang violence
No longer will those thugs be able to get their hands on sweet, sweet 1950s M1 Garands. Or M1 Carbines.

1. I feel completely vindicated. Congress did nothing, just as I said they would.
2. This is not journalism. Its opinion.
The types of surplus weapons that have been re-imported under this provision are all more than 50 years old, and fall under the definition of "curio" or "relic" firearms. They include M1 Garand rifles and several other models -- a list can be found here. As such, it is safe to assume that few are used in crimes.
Seriously. They aren't even trying. Its like the rightwad parallel to the NYT.

You didn't say GOPER. I am disappoint.
You'll probably have an echo chamber and I assume that is what you want.

I actually think its a pretty good excuse, as far as excuses go. Fishing rods never get banned.
You would actually be wrong.
Question for you... I post 5 times more often here than my "home forum". If I wanted an eco chamber, I wouldn't be here. I actually do enjoy the back and forth, and wish The Departed were back.
Otherwise, this forum will do one of two things. Die quickly or die slowly.
I appreciate it, but this post is severely lacking in froth. Can you try again? Gimme 20% more effort!
with barrel tucked under the chin?
My brother's first deer rifle was one of these, available in the late 1950s-early 1960s for ten bucks by mail order, including delivery. A sling, cheap scope and a box of ammo cost twice what the rifle did.
But my brother was not its most notable purchaser.....

Yea the country needs more of this one.
Yes with a trigger pull like that of a chalk gun.
Are you saying this because it's a piece of crap, or because of the history associated with it?
Tongue in cheek with fillings rattled and a slight facial twitch. How the hell Oswald shot Kennedy with that thing is as in Full Metal Jacket. "Show what one motivated Marine with his rifle can accomplish".
Hey no trolling for the conspiracy theorists.
Since when? (just trying to help Buffy feel better about more posts)
In another bit of irony, this means we can't buy guns that were made in America, but we can still buy Soviet era parts kits. (stolen from another poster)
I'm so glad we have Obama to figure these things out for us.
Caucasion Avenger out...
Don't worry Buffy, I'm sure it's all a mix up. Everything will be alright.
