McCain Bill Destroys Historic WWII Firearms

Half the machineguns in the NFA MG registry came back as Dewats and what they did to those poor M14's that all got put back together. I think they learned their lesson from that. Anything can be reactivated.
 
Let's see - McCain, aka the canary (http://www.newtotalitarians.com/index_files/McCainSangLikeACanary.htm) also had all POW records sealed, including his own. Any wonder why his fellow prisoners shun him? Someone already said it - he's a RINO.

And in case you're wondering, I'm former Special Forces, 68 & 69 in Nam with several combat ribbons to include the PH with oak leaf cluster. I've seen the elephant. McCain is out for McCain and no one else. Not you, not me and certainly not this country.
 
Nuff' said, He is why we have Obama.

I didn't think it possible to run a worse campaign until Romney-Ryan got Obama re-elected. I never expected the Bob Dole bar of poor campaigns to be lowered :(
 
It doesn't matter.

The collectors would have snatched them all up anyway, so they would have just ended up in dark climate-controlled safes only to be brought out to examine and gawk at every once in a while.

That's a worse fate than the dang blast furnace.

Let them "die" with honor.
 
McCain is part of the "leadership" cabal in DC that is ruining this country. The career politicians of both parties no longer hide the fact that they view the liberty loving, Constitution respecting citizen as a threat to their well being but the people are finally beginning to see the truth, which is what is driving the Trump phenomenon and the Brexit vote in England. The rank and file are tired of the elitists telling them what is best for them. A person's military service is to be commended if they served honorably, but it has little bearing on how they are to be viewed in their actions after they are no longer serving. Stupid is stupid no matter whom it is served by.

I like that reasoning, think how much money we will save once we light our over crowed prisons on fire.
 
When mc cain (no caps on purpose) seemed to lead a charge to normalize relations with VN I lost all respect for him. Now IMO he should just go away!!

One of the oddest things I've ever read on THR. Do you advocate destroying all guns not fired on a regular basis?
All the Colt Walkers, Patersons etc are "better ofF" being reduced to scrap?
 
I'm in AZ, and demographics are changing. Once McCain is gone, I fear a Dem will replace him, and do much worse than destroying 1911s.
 
It is highly likely that those pistols have gone through at least one complete rebuild, and probably more. As a consequence they amount to "parts guns" so far as collectors are concerned. In particular that means the markings on the slide won't match the original maker, and various parts will not be what they should be in so far as what they were when the pistols were made.

This has nothing to do with "fit for use" is concerned, but they would attract little attention from serious collectors with deep pockets.

As an example in another context, notice that a piece being offered for sale at a "generous price" is often noted to have "matching numbers," that signify complete originality. Those with mixed numbers will seldom attract big bucks.
 
A picture got out of a table full of 1911s being inspected at CMP Anniston.
There was anything and everything on that table. There were a surprising number of GI guns with commercial parts on them.
There are probably at least a few gems in the dross.

Well the gems will proboly go in a safe, so we should destroy them to prevent that horrible fate and give them honorable death.

I wouldn't dare speak about Vietnam relations or his position in torture, seeing as how I have ZERO experience compared to him. He has done tremendous things in the name of his country. You cannot take that away from Senator McCain.

that being said, I would love to have a GI issue 1911 from CMP. I would really enjoy shooting it. I disagree with him on that one.

It's not our place to specify how and why somebody exercises their 2A rights. Seriously.

There's nothing worse for the 2A cause than a gun owner saying "I dont care if they melt down all of X because those guys that buy them just want to do X with them."
