His Father banned a bunch of so called Assault rifles from being imported and the current Pres, banned all imports from Norinco as a trade measure.

I thought it was interesting that he picked a company which primarily makes guns. Actually they made some interesting .45's but thanks to Jr. we no longer have the option of choosing them.

I thought the Chinese/Norinco ban originated with Clinton.

Also, IIRC, the '91 (or thereabouts) semi-auto import ban was, as in this case, simply the BATF exercising the authority granted it under the '68 GCA. At the time, the domestic firearms manufacturers were *lobbying* for the import restrictions, I remember reading their complaints in the trade publications. Plenty of blame to go around, sadly.

I don't know but I specifically remember Bush banning all Norinco imports.

Maybe Clinton banned some guns and Bush banned the rest.

Sorry,

GHWB did the NON-SPORTING ban... nice wasn't it!

I wish I had one party I could count on... I'm not sure it is even the NRA...
