“A State Department spokesman said the administration’s decision was based on concerns that the guns could fall into the wrong hands.”
You can read anything or nothing into such a statement; but there’s a pattern developing which would lead a reasonable and prudent person to believe the Obama administration would rather American citizens not indulge in 2nd Amendment constitutionally protected God given rights. Why else ban the sale of a weapon which could otherwise be purchased? These firearms are considered collector’s items and are some of the best examples of weaponry ever made; Thank you President Obama for showing where you stand on American values.
“The Obama administration approved the sale of the American-made rifles last year. But it reversed course and banned the sale in March – a decision that went largely unnoticed at the time but that is now sparking opposition from gun rights advocates.”
Wasn’t that about the same time the Obama administration did a hundred and eighty degree change on United States policy when it sent Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to endorse the United Nations gun confiscation treaty ? This administration has shown contempt for the rule of law and the constitution at nearly every step of the way; the right to own and bear arms stands in their way of totally enslaving the citizenry.
“Asked why the M1s pose a threat, the State Department spokesman referred questions to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. ATF representatives said they would look into the question Monday afternoon, but on Wednesday they referred questions to the Justice Department. DOJ spokesman Dean Boyd referred questions back to the State Department.”

You aren't going to find many liquor store robbers carrying a concealed Garand, or even an M1 carbine. Therefore, B Hussein must have something else in mind.
"Wrong hands" indeed! Most of us who would buy them are veterans.
The only reason B Hussein could be afraid of an armed America is that we might spoil his plans.
I find the ban on WWII era guns absurd. The M1 had a by today's standard very unhandy 8 round P- Ting clip. I make fun of it because it makes a very loud P-ting when it is empty and self ejects.
Eight rounds. Man I bought a mini 9mm pistol on the cheap that had that many in the clip.
Outside of the fact that the Gerands ; 30-06, became the gold standard in ammo, and the rifle has a very respectable effective and accurate range of better'n 600 yards. In an open conflict the weapon would be a serious handicap today because magazine size would not allow for an individual sustained rate of fire. If I was a liberal I would want my potential enemies to be handicapped and allow the open sale of the guns.....
Problem is all the rest of us who are their ideological and of course potential enemies know the rate of fire handicap and would have something else as our primary SD weapon, and the Garand would be just a nice little memento hanging on the wall. After all it is weapon that won the war. I say that with a smile.
Ok some would want to dabate that. I am a serious air power buff, but ultimately air power only opens the door, it is still the infantryman who commands the field . Air power is the key, tanks are the booted foot, but infantry always follows and secures.
This shows that the Obama's don't understand anything about firearms at all.....of course...
In dealing with my current theory; that it all boils down to "Invasion USA", according to GW's prophecies and visions, the likely cause would be to keep arms out of Americans hands to prevent our joining the battle lines.... which would be a ludicrous thing to try and do. That would also explain the Obama's; and the Democrats as well, propensity to unconstitutional behaviors and laws.
It is them trying to provoke people to a revolution. I say they fail... Lets put it this way... They are not going far enough out on that limb to provoke a general uprising.
Partisans the world over; and it would be no different here, would get arms by ambush and various other violent guerrilla tactics. So the left just puts them and their own in greater danger should an open conflict become a reality here in the CONAS.
If all of this is just stupid ideology and they indeed are just doing this stuff out of a misguided belief....well it is all backfiring on them with the people. It just shows that a person with the best of education can be just; maybe even more so, a gullible fool.
And yes it is indeed unfortunate that I can state this in a civil manner when in my heart I am
enraged over all of this....
Col. Hogan, Like I said, these are collector edition weapons more than anything else. Obama and his anti-American administration want to piss off as many as they can before the UN treaty gets signed and destroys the 2nd Amendment.
Ron, You got so excited about this you hit the enter key twice. lol
Naw on my end Google is bhiiuping today...never the less sorry.
