Two good things from Congress

A bill to restore more 2A rights for residents of Washington, DC.

A bill to allow more relic firearms to be imported without oversight of the Department of the State, or the Department of Defense.

With regards to the second of those bills, remember that recently, the Obama administration blocked the import of thousands of M1 Garands and M1 Carbines from Korea. These rifles were loaned to Korea, and are still property of the US Government. The administration cites "concerns" that these rifles could be used as "assault weapons," as the reason why they don't want the rifles back on American soil. Neither rifle is capable of fully automatic fire, so neither is an assault weapon. 

However, the CMP takes delivery of M1's and M1 Carbines, and sells them to the public - making more money on behalf of the government. I think this is further proof Obama wants the economy to crash.

PS - I own both an M1 Garand and an M1 Carbine. Both are great guns!
