    I felt like a ton of bricks hit me when I read Rand Pauls letter on this a few moments ago. I felt it necessary to post it here. I feel this is a huge mistake and it is a huge infringement on our 2nd Amendment rights provided to us by the U.S. Constitution. You know, my father carried the M-1 Garand with him in the pacific during WW2 as well as Korea while he was in the U.S. Army infantry. The M-1 Garand and the Carbine most definitely saved his life as well as other soldiers lives and allowed them to come home from the war. Lucky for my father with some good ole horse trading got to bring his Army issue M-1 Garand and Carbine home with him and I now keep them safe in my gun cabinet. Now Obama quitly signing this ban is unwarranted. Obama's State Department stated that:

    "there is a danger they might, possibly, one day “fall into the wrong hands.”

    The M-1 Garand and Carbine played a very important role in our history and allowed us to be victorious during the war. It is a complete travesty to prevent Americans from their chance at owning these famous U.S. made iconic military weapons. Call your congressman on this issue and let your voice be heard on reversing this ban.

    You know this might be more interesting if what you had to cite was something other than a Ron Paul political letter- which itself doesn't cite anything.

    What did Obama sign?

    I know using actual sources to actual actions, so we can read what actually happened, rather than Ron Paul's version seems like a very dramatic thing to demand....but why didn't Ron Paul give us all the facts?

    And why didn't you?

    At this point, all I know is that Ron Paul is saying something happened. Do you know for a fact that it did? Or why?

    And by the way- I like the M-1 and I have nothing against gun ownership whatsover. I just like real information.

    What does Ron Paul have to do with anything the OP said?

    Is this another round of senseless gun prohibition? The Obama administration did this last year with a surplus stock of U.S. rifles from Korea.

    They belong in Museums, not in civilian hands.

    I loved the scanned signature. I presume the birthers will be all over this document, contesting it's authenticity...

    We're not talking about any letter or statements from Ron Paul.

    My mistake- Rand Paul- its the only actual citation the OP makes- which is a Rand Paul political letter.

    And he still hasn't given us any actual source to see whether Rand Paul's claim is real, or just political spin to raise campaign funds.

    Hey- if there really is a ban, I would like to read what the ban actually is. I suspect already, but since neither the OP or Rand Paul have cared to share that with us....its just all speculation.

    In the wrong hands, they can be very deadly given the nature of the rifle. I know because I carried one for three years.

    Bull(*)(*)(*)(*), the action isn't much different than most semi auto hunting rifles in 06. Why exactly do they belong in museums? They made over 5 million of them you know. :rolleyes:

    How is it more deadly than a Remington 742 for instance?

    Careful, they were not designed for the slower burning powders we have today. A bent operating rod may be in your future. Roll your own or buy Greek HXP M2 ball from CMP for target might be a wiser move.

    I still have a lot of old surplus ammo fit for it. No problems at all.

    Have to disagree with you without the vulgarity thrown in; the M-1 is a clip-fed assault rifle, which in the wrong hands can have devastating effects on the general population. No one needs a military rifle, whether automatic or semi-automatic.:gun:

    This isn't Indiana Jones. They aren't rare artifacts. Many people own them and use them. They are guns

    You have no clue of what you're talking about.

    A. it isn't an assault rifle, it's a battle rifle.

    B. It has an 8 round enbloc clip, hardly high capacity.

    C. No way in hell you ever carried one for 3 years.

    I agree, they are guns, just very dangerous ones in the wrong hands.

    Stupid liberals want to make them "rare artifacts".. they are trying to do the same for the 2nd amendment.. actually, they are trying to do it to the whole US constitution.

    The overwhelming majority of gun related crime involves handguns. Importing a bunch of ancient rifles will not change that fact.
