Referred to Committee on Jun 2, 2015
This bill was assigned to a congressional committee on June 2, 2015, which will consider it before possibly sending it on to the House or Senate as a whole.

On Wednesday, June 3, 2015, U.S. Representative Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) introduced H.R. 2611, the "Collectible Firearms Protection Act." This bill would aim to reverse a State Department decision blocking the importation of wildly popular and historic M1 Garand rifles and M1 carbines from South Korea. The United States exported these firearms to South Korea at the onset of the Korean War in the 1950s. The M1 Garand and M1 carbine have become collector's items and are perfectly legal to manufacture in the United States and, like all firearm imports, they would be subject to the federal rules and regulations governing retail firearm sales.

I thought most here say the Repubs are same as Dems ? Not to derail thread.

Meh, I'd love to see a flood of M1's hit the USA, but the bill needs to be signed by that shitbag in the White House to become law right? Whats the chance of that happening?

 

[Smokewagon]

Nice try at least.

It doesn't matter what color the toilet paper is: It all comes out brown on the other side.

This is simple grandstanding: We all know this will never become lawr.

My question is would the Dems do this "grandstanding " ?

 

[bigblue]

I don't give positive credit for being a blow hard on a soap box.

 

[71montess]

Its funney how people go to equate the actions the Repubs take to the Dems. In the history of the Democrat party theve NEVER proposed a pro gun law or regulation. Need I say more ? Now I must admit to having never voted Democrat and no one in my family has ever been infected with that mental illness either.

Good maybe they can ship over cases of 30-06 and 30 carbine so we can shoot them cheap

 

[Parker Duofold]

POTUS would never sign the bill.

 

[spcantwell]

but, but, but... we cant let them ship military grade MACHINE GUNS back to the us

[/sarcasm off]
and yes I know that a M1/M1A is as about as far from a machine gun as you can get, but liberals dont care, all they hear is ex-military=MACHINE GUN USED TO MURDER CHILDREN
