Thank God! Now all those children in Chicago will be safe once they stop importing all those military weapons! You know, those old Korean Garands and Carbines are devastating the school children of America.....
Must be to address all those M1 Garands being used in drive bys - or all those gang members running out drafting trusts befo they bust a cap in yo ass.

Seems like this targets the CMP specifically without spelling it out. Why would they do that, of all things?

You can't reason with a zealot. It doesn't matter that it will destroy a historically important program or that it won't reduce violent crime. Guns are evil and any thing that you can do to prevent people from owning them outweighs any other considerations.

Doesn't this actually help the CMP by restricting imports that other importers could bid on?

I didn't see the CMP exempt from this. Can we trade Dear Leaders with Iraq so I can have a real AK-47.:D

The name of the entity alone is enough.

Dear Leader can't have civilians being proficient with long range calibers.
Those Secret Service guard dogs are not concerned with a Chicago land handgun.

CMP has at least some inventory to work with. Most do not.

Touche!
So, under these proposed new regs...you can presumably import and sell to otherwise eligible citizens, Mosin Nagant, Mauser, Enfield...just not Springfield...makes sense.

Ruling by decree. Seems very imperial to me.

He can do this under provisions of the Patriot Act if his croney lawyers word it correctly.
He is throwing his sheeple a bone, pesky Congress he will show them who's boss. It's this BS that drove me to do some shopping that I otherwise would not have done and am glad I did.
I had one of the Blue Sky Imports M1s from Korea. Gun was good enough, but barrel was like a sewer pipe, and its crown showed a lot of uncontrolled cleaning rod action. Replaced barrel, all was OK. Original barrel is tied to my cot for use as a stretcher lever to set up the cot. It's fate could have been worse, I use other bad surplus rifle barrels for ground rods for electric fences.
This action of today is an out-of-the-blue event. There has been some news for about a year about the State Department holding up a shipment of M1s from Korea and back-and-forth comments about that deal. But to come up with and announce an almost-total ban on import of previously lended US guns, is a bigger thing.
Zero has to appear to be a strong leader to some audience. Too bad for all, that this audience is such a small one. I'll take "petty distractions" for $20, Alex.
