The Toad Gets His Hopping Orders: Collectivist Regime Attacks the Civilian Marksmanship Program (among other things).

Obama offers new gun-control steps.
One new policy will end a government practice that lets military weapons, sold or donated by the U.S. to allies, be reimported into the U.S. by private entities, where some may end up on the streets. The White House said the U.S. has approved 250,000 of those guns to be reimported since 2005; under the new policy, only museums and a few other entities like the government will be eligible to reimport military-grade firearms. . .
The event in the Roosevelt Room will also mark the ceremonial swearing-in for Todd Jones, whose confirmation to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives after six years of political wrangling to fill that position was another of Obama’s post-Newtown priorities. A Senate deal to approve the president’s pending nominations after Democrats threatened to change Senate rules cleared the way for Jones’ confirmation last month.

I wonder if ATF has data on the number of crimes committed with M1s and M14s?

Ever hear of a criminal being busted with a Garand concealed in his pants or jacket?

It's not gangstas or street thugs Obama's targeting.

This executive action destroys any hope of getting back those M-1's from South Korea. We need to pressure our congressmen and senators to pass a law nullifying these latest executive orders. We also need to run up a spike in firearms sales. Then, send the results to the WH. The message would be: every time you screw with the second amendment, we will better arm ourselves. The son-of-a-bitch cannot let sleeping dogs lie. He always has to be stirring a turd. I'm suggesting we share the stink with the commie-in-chief.

He wouldn't be picking a fight abroad to distract attention from a domestic one ... would he? Pretty convenient time to take a stab at the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP). Sadly, the majority of Americans will have no clue of what they lost through executive order today ... or even care.

Does this mean if I don't already own an M1 Garand or the like, I am outta luck or will pay a premium to do so?

This importation ban MAY be illegal:

Too damned many "senate deals" that compromise our rights by acquiescing to the installation of more of Obama's thugs into positions of power.

I had information from my Congressional sources early in the year that this was going to happen. But wait for it. Ultimatly this will included all C&R eligible military firearms and the ammo for them. It will be a blanket order disallowing all importation of military firearms. It won't matter if they are bolt actions that no military has used for 60 years or semi auto rifles or carbines. It will cover handguns as well. What are they afraid of. Like Stalin and Hitler, Dear Leader is paranoid as hell. He is scared of his own shadow. Couple that with is arrogance and narcisstic temperment and we have a real problem.

Says it won't affect CMP or M1 Garands....anyone know if ATF is going to "change" the definition of C&R firearms under this new order?

Her, why would Scalia publicly state that the "next" part of the Second Amendment to be addressed is scope of arms?

Remember friends, nothing EVER happens in politics by "accident". Everything is carefully choreographed.

So......

They obviously have data showing the threat posed by "Danish Return" and "Greek Return" Garands sold through the CPM.

Show us the numbers!

Yep. Looking at the '03 Springfield and 1911 (NOT 1911 A1... Frame is one of the first batch the USN ever got) that Dad got from CMP/DCM after he got out of his second time in the USN (grabbed off the street and reactivated for Korea) so he could afford to shoot matches down at the armory while being a broke ass student on the GI bill..

They are screwing with MY family values.

Where in the Constitution are EOs even authorized? I can't find it.

I'm surprised that CMP has lasted as long as it has, considering the criminal nature of the federal government. But this move is just an example of the rulers pissing into the wind. There are plenty of firearms out here and more every day. Fat chance putting a dent in any of that. Their impotence is revealed by this measure...
