Obama has blocked the re-importation of the historic WWII-era, M1 Garand rifles from South Korea – causing a Vermont gun importer, Century International Arms, to lay off 41 employees.
Century Arms stated they had secured all necessary permits and was about to start importing a large number of these rifles when the deal was blocked by the White House.
The Obama admin didn’t respond to requests for comments, although last summer they did state they would start blocking the importation of surplus military weapons to reduce gun violence.
FAIRFAX, Vt. — The White House isn’t responding to claims from a Vermont gun importer that it is to blame for blocking a permit that would have allowed it to re-import a number of historic America-made firearms from South Korea.
Century International Arms, of Fairfax, says the White House’s blocking the deal led to its laying off 41 employees.
While the White House didn’t respond to requests for comment Friday, last summer it issued a release saying it was blocking the re-importation of surplus military weapons as a way to reduce gun violence.
Century Arms said Thursday it had been planning on importing a large number of vintage WWII-era, M1 Garand rifles from South Korea and it had all the permits to do so until the White House intervened and blocked the deal.
He’s s job killer and taking guns away from gun owners and a $#%&!@*ING idiot t**d
NOT LEGAL OR RIGHT! HOW MANY TIMES AND HOW MANY WAYS MUST THE PEOPLE SAY NO!!
we all need to kick obama in the ass
HE cannot do that the CONSTITUTION SAYS SO.
He doesn’t care. How many jobs are being lost because of the delay in approving the XL Pipeline? How many will be lost in the coal industry because of the premature and politically motivated shut down of coal fired electric plants? How many people have lost jobs or got their hours reduced because of Obamacare? Like I said, he could not care less about jobs unless there government jobs.
this is just another way to take away our rites to bear arms,,,
