I think the last notable use of the M1 Garand for criminal action was at Kent State in May 1970.
Man, that's hitting where it hurts!

Again, NO IT WOULDN'T because the role of the CMP is NOT selling rifles."By Mike Piccione

The White House announced on Thursday that it intends to “ban almost all re-imports of military surplus firearms to private entities” through executive order, which would effectively shut down the 110-year-old Civilian Marksmanship Program.
WHAT? The CMP controls importation? Really now?The CMP tightly controls the importation of obsolete military weapons.
A dealer, huh? Is that so? Sheesh, the misses keep on coming!Participants receiving firearms through the CMP must comply with all state and federal firearm laws and undergo a background check conducted by a dealer holding a Federal Firearms License in order to receive the gun.
Likely to become defunct? Look, selling rifles has been a known dead end since probably the 60s. They've known they'd eventually run out of military surplus rifles they could sell to civilians since most of our parents were young folks. If this does have any direct effect on CMP it is only to close off avenues that were drying or dead anyway.The rifles that the Executive Order would affect are typically from U.S. allies and are pre-Vietnam era. Without the importation of these rifles, the CMP is likely to become defunct and thus destroying a 110 year tradition of saving military arms and their civilian ownership."

That Daily Caller post is a real load of poo. Wonder where he got ANY of his facts?
I haven't seen this question answered. The consensus seems to be that CMP is excluded. So what weapons are affected by this? Does anybody really know?What is he banning from import anyway??
I was of the understanding the state department was preventing the importation of the Korean Garands and M1 carbines. Most of the surplus military arms being imported these days were all foreign military issued so what does that leave to ban?
The only thing I can currently think of would be stuff that was part of the WWII Lend-Lease programs like S&W Victory model revolvers and .303 Enfield rifles both of which are the weapons of choice in drive by shootings and bank roberies!!
Soooo what happens to those items people already have on a trust? Grandfathered?

+1. So many errors in that piece, I don't know where to start.
Don
he may regret it as half the media will point out that he's done nothing more than stopped antiques that no one ever uses in crimes
I am guessing this means that the fast and furious guns can't be brought back to the US!
the way I read it , all the US. gun sold or loaded to other country's will not be coming back here , BO is saying we don't want them, you keep them ! not the Army , not dealers , no one , we don't want them on are streets , "he says" just keep them , sell them to some one else ... hey .. maybe sell them to the Taliban, what a moron,...... dose he think if we don't take them they will just melt them down ? good news is whatever he signs can be unsigned by the next guy , it's just an order not a law, his POWER is only good for as long as he is in office. every time he goes around congress it is just a temporary setbackI don't think CMP ever has or would receive guns reimported to them. The way I understand it, the CMP ONLY receives guns from the Army and perhaps other US armed services, or from private domestic donation. The Army recieves the guns back from foreign government return.
Now there are private importers too that can and have reimported surplus US guns from foriegn lands. This would screw them, but I don't think it would have any effect on the CMP at all. I don't believe the CMP ever buys surplus guns from anyone.
