Obama Administration Reverses Course, Forbids Sale of 850,000 Antique Rifles



Are you dizzy yet????

If our leader doesn't want me to have a carbine, I want several. I have never wanted one before, but I want one now.

Don't forget to pick up a few Garands while you're at it.

Yes! All the gangbangers and illegals in this Country have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of these "antique" surplus military weapons. Their biggest problem will be to figure out how they operate and what they require for ammunition!

Hell Obama: Why not pull a "Slick Willie" here and chop them all up.



Stupid is as stupid does: Make sure you get out and vote in November.

As a lifelong resident of a town in Springfield, Massachusetts this especially rankles. You can bet there's pride here in the first armory in the country and the guns manufactured there. Among an ever decreasing bunch of men. You want to knkow where Mr Garand lived for a while? Pine point. Bad section of town now. I honestly can't take it when I read the same old bs about "safety concerns" "pose a threat" "we don't want machine guns in the wrong hands" etc etc ad nauseum. Even worse is actually HEARING the words and SEEING the heads they come out of. Fluffer-nutter brains on auto-pilot since liberal college days. Can Obama get any worse? The answer is YES! And who wants to bet he'll call for a meltdown? Then the government will have to buy ALL of them, more wasted spending = more taxation. It's infuriating knowing you can't ever talk reasonably with the likes of these Hillary fellas.

lets here from the BHO cheerleaders on this bulletin board who told us 2 years ago this would never happen!!!!!!!

If they don't make it into the US, I hope Frankonia or some other EU dealer gets them; shooters here will accept them gladly.
With kind regards,

Not likley. When the US Gov't says "dispose of safely" in the context of their other statments they intend on having them crushed/melted.

Yes I suppose so. What I wrote was only a humble wish...

I do believe that Fox News stretched the definition of "antique" significantly in that headline.

Yes, he can get worse. He has no conception of reality either in this incident or the future of this country. Hopefully, even the liberal indoctrinated types are beginning to understand this
tragedy to our Country.

Although I cannot own an M1 Carbine in NJ (it is an assault weapon but I can own an M1 rifle), the mere fact that the UN wants to disarm me makes we want to own as many rifles as I can afford. Why would the UN want to disarm Americans. It must be that they are concerned that we are all killing each other. Maybe if we are disarmed they can send UN forces here to keep us in line.

I have had discussions about Obama with my liberal friends (?) and they still think he is wonderful and is a natural born citizen. I think there is no hope there.

Of course this would be the choice of action! The purchase and sale of these rifles could create jobs and stimulate the economy with private sector dollars by a simple gov't signature. That would be anti billion dollar gov't spending! Hey maybe Public Television could get their hands on them an give them away for a $1000. pledge?

Ahhhhh..... Grasshopper, you fail to understand Obamanomics;

This will generate many thousands (if not the fantom 3 million+) jobs save/created. Private sector jobs have no meaning, only Government Bureaucrats and their kin have any meaning. And they shall propagate a thousand-fold to smother the land and control the riff-raff......

Depends, the old Rifles seem to fit this defination:

An old collectible item, desirable because of age, rarity, condition, utility, or other unique features; an object that represents a previous era in human society.

.....and m1 carabine with cut stock or folder would make pretty good "hood gun".

Exactly, I often have my folding stock Carbine with me when I travel through "The Hood", which seems to have expanded considerably.

i prefer 7.62x39 suczka with folding stock and 30 or 40 round mag.
the 7,62 version is better for in close work...

"Antique" has a very specific legal meaning in terms of most firearms regulations. "Antique" refers to a rifle, shotgun, or handgun manufactured prior to 1899. Antique rifles, shotguns, and handguns are not considered "firearms" by most Federal and state firearms regulations and are exempted from them. Of course, New Jersey and several similar states do not recognize this exemption.

In any case, M-1 Garands and M-1 carbines are unfortunately not legally "Antiques".

"Our" leader? To paraphrase the old Lone Ranger-Tonto scenario "Where do your get this "WE" $%#$- white man?"" He sure as hell ain't my leader, and he can have my NM Garand non-assualt rifle and my 1903 NM sniper rifle with flash cone and Unertl 12X when he can get through my door and pry them from my cold dead hands (Thank you kindly Chuck Heston- like Reagan, you too would have been a great former actor now Prez)

Of all the stupidity Obama has shown, *&^%canning Gen. Stan McChrystal was the top of the ladder- a numbnut who never wore a uniform, never ran a Kool-Aide stand, made his way from corrupt Chicago politics with his "smoke and mirrors" to campaign against a decorated Vietnam Vet, paid off the corrupted Clintons with the appointment to "Billary"- Our Country is going to hell in a handbasket when Chelsea's wedding and now Paris Hilton's problems in Sin City are big news-- You can bet your M60 chamber brush that our two-faced POTUS boy will continue his anti-gun ownership program with every loophole his clowns can conjure up against our diminishing Second Amendment rights..

Now that reality has set in and the scammed ones who voted for him can see what "change" really means it's time to take our Country back and we'll have to do it one step at a time and that starts this November.
If you are represented in Congress by a Democrat and their name is NOT on the letter to AJ Holder telling him to forget about another assault rifle ban (which would have included shotguns this time)he or she should be history in November.
Then we have to set our sights on making the Kenyan "Obama the Short". I suspect impeachemnt is to much to ask for but anything is possible if just some of his dirty little secrets leak out.
The really important thing is to get him out before he does any more damage to our judicial system vis a vis appointments.
We're still in a long term fight inre. to our 2nd Amendment rights with the likes of Richie Daley trying to throw every obstacle in our path that's possible.
I think we will previal in the long runs as the alternative is just not acceptable.
Oh and BTW: Even though M1rifles and carbines aren't antiques they are Curio and Relics which can be freely bought and sold by those with collector FFLs. That's unless you live in a place like the Peoples Republik of New Jersey.
