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.
That’s done so well hasn’t it?
I’d love to have one of these..
Another short sighted decision by a VERY short sited administration
That moron has to be hung for treason.
This idiot is trying to micro manage every little aspect of our lives while neglecting what he was elected to do!
This is as ridiculous as it gets. Old guns aren’t a problem. It’s stupid people that are the problem.
