These new EOs will reduce gun violence in exactly what way, Mr. Obama?
At least I get to keep driving my military grade truck.
they -have- been getting them from foreign government returns
If there will be no more such returns, CMP will cease to be once they exhaust their current inventory.
Yes, I know they don't "import" directly, they get them from the Army. But the Army gets them from foreign returns.
Is the CMP considered a 'private entity'?
This man will try to end the exemption of 12ga from the DD regs at this rate
Not at all! As Orest Michaels has said repeatedly, the CMP does NOT exist to sell guns. That's just a nice sideline they've been able to offer. When there are no more surplus rifles to sell (which has to come sometime anyway -- that's inevitable) the CMP will continue doing their primary mission just as they have for so long. After all, MOST service rifle match shooters haven't been shooting the kind of rifle the CMP has sold for decades now.If there will be no more such returns, CMP will cease to be once they exhaust their current inventory.
Right. Which is an absolute inevitability eventually, regardless of any presidential action. Better next year than this year, of course, but it's been coming for 50 years.And Orest Michaels has repeatedly said their supply of rifles is getting vey low and there are no more to be found to replace that stock.
Well, importation of firearms was Century's real business long before they got into building AKs. Now, it's unclear they even need the import side, aside from parts kits. As, by law, the AKs they're selling are "made in the USA" (for the most part), this wouldn't apply to them at all.Anyone want to bet companies like Century will be looking pretty lean if this goes into effect and stands?
If they were ever coming anyway? That's been a wish and a prayer for a decade or so, and the reports about the price and condition were disheartening.And what about the Korean Garands we keep hearing about? Scrap metal?
The changes they want to make to the NFA would mean those using a trust would need to submit fingerprints and photos. And that those not using a trust won't need the CLEO to sign off on it. It's actually a win for us.
Define "Military-Grade". Does it include anything that was once military or just stuff currently in use?
CMP is a 501(c) private corporation since 1996. How can this NOT affect them?No, and this does not impact the CMP.

The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) is a national organization dedicated to training and educating U. S. citizens in responsible uses of firearms and airguns through gun safety training, marksmanship training and competitions. The CMP is a federally chartered 501(c)(3) corporation that places its highest priority on serving youth through gun safety and marksmanship activities that encourage personal growth and build life skills. Links on this page will lead you to more detailed information about the CMP and its programs.
Statutory mission. The federal law enacted in 1996 (Title 36 U. S. Code, 0701-40733) that created the Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle Practice and Firearms Safety, Inc. (CPRPFS, the formal legal name of the CMP) mandates these key “functions for the corporation:
(1) To instruct citizens of the United States in marksmanship;
(2) To promote practice and safety in the use of firearms;
(3) To conduct competitions in the use of firearms and to award trophies, prizes, badges, and other insignia to competitors.
The law specifically states: In carrying out the Civilian Marksmanship Program, the corporation shall give priority to activities that benefit firearms safety, training, and competition for youth and that reach as many youth participants as possible.

That may be what they think, but among my friends and acquaintances here in the west there are a number of gun owners that have traditionally voted for Democrats who will not in the future, or at least be more selective. Hope this is true across rural America.Plus they know that people like us, law abiding conservative Americans for the most part, will never vote for them or their kind so it doesn't really hurt their political base.
