He looks like Emperor Palpatine with that skin and the bags under his eyes.
If "4) eliminate the requirement for a certification signed by the CLEO." ( http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201210&RIN=1140-AA43 ) is what the XO actually does with that esoteric NFA rule change, isn't that a win for us?
The NFA trust rule isn't the thing I find really annoying, it's further restriction of milsurp imports.
Sure, this can easily be reversed with somebody else in the White House, but the GOP Presidents haven't shown themselves to be that interested in lifting import bans laid down by exec order.
I guess all those nifty M1 Garands and other nice hardware just isn't going to be showing up here anytime soon.
I wonder if there's anybody anymore who doesn't realize Obama is a gun control True Believer. Only someone completely given over to the cause would do this- only a moron thinks it would reduce crime, it's more intended as a huge middle finger to those who would buy them.
I guess I'll have to get a domestically produced AK instead of a South Korean held M1 Carbine. Because, you know, that US made AK is much less a tool for crime than the historically interesting gun.
"Yeah because a day can't go by in Chicago, Detroit or Newark without some witness telling a cop or the press "It was terrifying! They drove up blaring some manner of hippity-hoppity music, and then all of a sudden it was all bangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangPING up in here!""
The situation with the Military Assistance Program guns is a bummer, but they've always been tenuous. Each batch requires a waiver for importation. They dried up during the Clinton admin and came back during the Bush years.
OTOH, I'm pretty sure that non-US made C&R stuff is legislatively protected by FOPA. (There's a certain irony when you can get commie-captured Nazi rifles, but Garands are verboten.)
Just wait, Eric Holder is gonna recruit Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson to illegally import, traffick and lose track of a bunch of Garands. And the running joke is whether or not Diesel's M1 is superior to Walker's Arisaka.
Bummer, Tam. I live about an hour from the South store. Guess I might need to consider some budget re-allocation. Wanna buy my SW9VE so I can put the money toward another rack grade? ;)
Well, after hearing about how 16 year old Gang-bangers won't be able to do Drive-Bys with their Rock-Ola M1 Carbines, I decided that it was time to do something positive to Celebrate just how much safer we are all now, thanks to Obama.
As of an hour ago, a plain-jane Smith Model 10 (D-series Pencil Barrel) from the '70s is now a Permanent Member of the Family. Just because.
THEY take away the ability to purchase a Firearm, I GET a Firearm.
Bubblhead, last week I established a deal in principle with a friend to buy a Springfield National Match M1A with SA scope mount, Burris scope and two stocks sometime between now and February.
Such item was NOT on my radar screen but he offered it to me at a price close to half of what it would cost to assemble these products at current retail. I just couldn't pass that up but now it clouds all my purchasing decisions for the next 6 months.
I imagine that if the administration is going to say that it is very horribly triple illegal to bring certain guns across a border, then it won't be - what, a week? - before some regional office of the ATF starts moving those Garands and carbines in for us?
Time to contact the congress critter again to demand revocation of NFA '34, GCA '68 and all the rest of those laws that infringe on the right to keep and bear arms. Get the government out of this non-productive, money wasting nonsense.
The Missouri Legislature would have these Federal laws unenforceable by Federal agents within Missouri, but it would be more effective to have the laws revoked by Congress:
Damn, I was in the market for a pistol and now it looks like a CMP Garand would be recommended.
And if it weren't for the incrementalism, that is just the sort of ROI I demand from my statist gun grabbing collectivist opponents. The future of the progressive movement demands nothing more!
For those of you who don't have your hats; that $995 "CMP Special" is one of the BEST deals on the planet - and has been since they started building them.
Incremental-ism still sucks
ReplyDeleteSo does loser talk. Now get back off the bench and fight.
ReplyDeleteJesus, if this gets you all whimpery, you'd have jumped off a bridge in '94.
Damn, someone get that man to a plastic surgeon STAT. It might already be too late!!!!
ReplyDeleteApparently his eyes are going on a trip soon.

It means everybody on the trust has to go through the same BGC process that it takes to become a "responsible person" on an FFL.

I think Obama is doing this to throw a bone to the media. Finally reporters can talk about clips and not be wrong.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if the reimport rule affects the CMP?
ReplyDeleteI've not had time to research and find out.
Just wait, Eric Holder is gonna recruit Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson to illegally import, traffick and lose track of a bunch of Garands. And the running joke is whether or not Diesel's M1 is superior to Walker's Arisaka.
ReplyDeleteScott J,
ReplyDeleteThey're going to be sucking a dry well for a while.
@JD Rush- brilliant!
ReplyDeleteWhile the NFA rule is annoying, the bigger problem is the year long wait to do a transfer.
Its time to remove suppressors from the NFA, as well as SBSs and SBRs. Yeah I know, not likely to happen. But that's incrementalism I can get behind!
Bummer, Tam. I live about an hour from the South store. Guess I might need to consider some budget re-allocation. Wanna buy my SW9VE so I can put the money toward another rack grade? ;)
ReplyDeleteMoving suppressors to Title I is eminently do-able.
ReplyDeleteTen years ago, I would have said it was a long shot. Now? Better than even odds...
JD Rush wins.
ReplyDeleteCut off the supply of Garands and bangers will just take to bayoneting people with Mosins...
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!!!,
DeleteMosin bayonets, think of the carnage, children asleep in their upstairs bedrooms still will not be safe from drive by bayonetings!!!!!

ReplyDeleteOr do they just go straight from Korea to Mexico?
Even if we could get the rifles, can we get ammo for them?
ReplyDeleteBuy our hats?
ReplyDeleteWe ladies of Boston have our hats.

ReplyDeleteYeah, a 91/30 and bayo lets you go all stabby on sidewalk people from the middle of the street.
Robert, 48 grains IMR 4064 and a 150 to 168 grain projectile of your choice makes fine Garand food.
ReplyDeleteDamn, I was in the market for a pistol and now it looks like a CMP Garand would be recommended.

Windy, looking at odcmp.com it seems pickings are already slim.
ReplyDeleteAll the cheaper grades are sold out.
The cheapest I saw yesterday was $995.
I paid $495 for a rack grade back in 2010.
For those of you who don't have your hats; that $995 "CMP Special" is one of the BEST deals on the planet - and has been since they started building them.
ReplyDeleteSorry to have to ask this, but who is this guy? I shot my TV and I can't watch the news anymore.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Boat Guy I lustily looked at those when I was in the store back in 2010. They're beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI hope i can save up the $1,400 to do the new "come build your own special and take it home" class they're starting.
The first class is in November and all 20 slots are full.
Charles Pergiel,
ReplyDeleteThat would be the phiz of none other than George Soros, the 1%er inexplicably loved by the Left.
