The Korea Times is reporting that while it has will allow 86,000 historical M1 Garand rifles to be imported from South Korea, the Obama administration continues to block the importation of some 600,000 M1 Carbines because “they come with a magazine that can carry multiple rounds.”
15 rounds, to be exact. They are also equipped with bayonet lugs. Thus, the M1 Carbine falls under the criteria of an assault weapon as specified in Bill Clinton's now-expired Assault Weapons Ban, which Obama is on record as wishing to re-institute.
Thus, for Obama to allow 600,000 assault weapons into the US would be to expose him to the derision of his gun-hating base as a hypocrite. Not that he hasn't done so numerous times already...

It's sad because one of those has MY name on it.
It's also ridiculous because of what a decent shape M1 Carbine costs. People are not going to spend about $700.00 for a 65 or so year old historic rifle so they can use it as a FUCKING assault rifle.
They are pieces of American history and should be brought home so that those of us who understand and appreciate them can buy and preserve them for future generations.
Not that I need another reason not to like the guy.
Or Hillary Clinton either as she's as big a gun banner as he is.
Screw 'em both.
