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.
How does the federal government know about guns and stuff? I thought he only watchs the news, was that on the news?
This POS needs to go
they control the news, and tells them what to say
so everyone on this planet deserves to own a piece of American historical firearms but AMERICANS! he is such an overwhelming POS!
Whats next? Muskets and flintlocks. If the Obamanites get thier way sling shots and archery we be banned. Resign already Obama, take up comedy instead.
Buy all the guns you can load up
drag that SOB out of office throw his ass in jail . stop this $#%&!@* now whiled we can .

Of course, he wants to disintegrate all veterans, probably because he knows they know how to operate weapons. That’s why the National Guard is stocking up on body bags and coffins. That’s why Obama is firing 30,000 troops and replacing them with Mexicans imported and granting them citizenship and putting them into the army.
