The White House announced on Thursday that it intends to ban almost all re-imports of military surplus firearms to private entities through executive order, which would effectively shut down the 110-year-old Civilian Marksmanship Program.
In a Fact Sheet published on Whitehouse.gov today referencing the upcoming executive order the ban on importing military weapons is designed to keep military-grade firearms off our streets. Exceptions for import may be allowed for museums.
The CMP tightly controls the importation of obsolete military weapons. The program was created by the U.S. Congress as part of the 1903 War Department Appropriations Act with the purpose of allowing civilians to hone their marksmanship skills, should they later be called into military service.

It is what the people want. It is what they voted for.
There is precious little left.
Those haven’t been destroyed AFAIK. Those rifles were purchased from the US by S Korea. Private importers have been trying for years to get permission to import them, held up by both the Bush and Obama administrations. IIRC, the CMP is not authorized to act as a firearms importer.
For once I was head of the curve.
Meanwhile, Congress ignores the American people, ya think?
Now you just need some ammo.
I am afraid the new BATF guy may interpret this as banning the importation of military grade ammo too.
P.S. I think the S Korea rifles are all in shipping containers in S Korea.

“Congress needs to impeach him now. Bring it to a vote just before the election, and then throw it to the Senate as the new Senate comes in.”
Glad to see some strategic thinking. The current Senate would laugh at impeachment.
When a new Congress comes into session, it starts all over. Bills, impeachments, etc., cannot be carried over from one Congress to the next.
He is their moron, he is doing what they want, ergo, no outrage. They are despicable.
If the Congress ratifies impeachment, the new Senate would have to pick it up.
The new House coming in would have to impeach all over again.
“It is what the people want. It is what they voted for.”
I do not believe so. It is what they were tricked into.
You are correct. Thank you for the correction.
“The new House coming in would have to impeach all over again.”
I have never seen that. Do you have a reference for it?

If they were stupid enough to be tricked by such an obvious son of a bitch as Obama, then they are too stupid to live. They do not possess the intelligence to be able to breathe, and that is an instinctive reflex. No, they knew full well what they were voting for. They just don’t want to admit it. In their case, I can’t blame them. I would not admit it either.
In the rules of the House and the Senate, it is stated that everything starts afresh when a new Congress is seated. Nothing is carried forward.
