M1 Garands, misurp and import bans

#1

Post by LSUTiger »

How do we get the repatriation of orphaned M1 Garands and other US milsurp now that President Trump won the election?

Same goes for lifting import bans.

They were enacted by excutive order they can be struck down by executive order.

How [abbreviated profanity deleted] we get a bug in Trump's ear about this ?

Should we contact our senate/congress or enlist the help of the NRA/CMP?

I think a two pronged approach will work: get a local rep/senator on board, and push a cabinet secretary (VA? AG?) to draft and put an executive order in front of him.

You were reading my mind, fellow Tigah.
Let's not overthink this. Whatever it is.

Maybe you had a typo in there......meant to type "can" but typed something else?

Anyway, I hope the cost of Garands comes down. I'd like to own one some day. Maybe we can hope for an increased supply.

I have had that thought, sacrilegious as it might sound. :lol: But even if none were available in that caliber, I'd probably still buy one in .30-06. I just wouldn't stockpile ammo for it in any great amounts.

That is not impossible.

Isn't it a great day that we are even having this dialog? :thumbs2:


First time I'm glad that the value of my investments (ARs, ammo, parts etc.) will diminish.

I now expect a surge in scuba equipment rentals.

Lots of people are going to want to recover the firearms they lost in boating accidents. ;-)

Fortunately, mine were (coincidentally) in water proof containers accidentally attached to a buoy so it may not required digging out my scuba gear. And Joe has decided not to go through with buying some of my guns, and the burglars had a bout of conscious and decided to return the ones that got stolen. They have turned their lives around, and joined my church. Things are really looking up today. :biggrinjester:

That seems to Ben going around. ;-)

The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

I'll admit my mood has been pretty dark lately.

I went to bed feeling pretty good and now I feel almost giddy. :woohoo
