and help the police stop crime……………………….. the M1 is wonderful. I doubt they have thought out a strategic vision that far in the future. I remember seeing a picture of a “little hippy chick” putting a flower in the barrel of a Soldier’s M-14. The common response is that a “military style” firearm is any weapon that was deliberately designed to kill people. I know what you’re thinking: Curio and Relic (C&R) firearms are rarely, if ever, implicated in crimes and certainly haven’t been used in a school shooting. They have to avoid considering any potential benefits gained from gun ownership. The demonstrators where throwing rocks, bottles, rail road spikes and etc, which are deadly weapons. As long as they remain functional, they are perceived as a threat.
If the disarmenters fail there after spending 10 times as much as Second Amendment supporters, they may fall back for another 20 years.
Please ‘splain that to us.” I will explain it. M1 Garand-Front Sight-National Match $ 29.00 Add to cart. Arguing the cost of domestic vs. foreign is a moot point because that is a function of the market. However that is no reason to limit the civilian ownership of this weapon. Continue incrementally banning guns wherever possible to make guns more and more socially unacceptable, and legally difficult to own, in order to reduce the number of legal gun owners.
The soldiers in the photo are holding the M-1 Garand. You mean from gun-free Mexico? I wish I could share some of your ‘all’s optimism. Maybe those statements apply in this case, maybe they don’t, but by chance or by design it would appear that Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense is actually putting its dollars and its resources behind a cause that gun owners might actually support. Next, Chuck shoots the M1A while Paul fires an AK clone, and the AK wins. MDA has had zero success in getting firearms banned from any place. With regard to students with pistols, this is an urban legend that has been perpetuated for the last 44 years. We desperately need to get rid of the SOB and also all the junk he passed , including his so called executive orders , and see that the congress has some input or control over executive orders from future presidents . Ya see, if they are the ones that criminals target, Darwinism awards will make their survival questionable. The M1 Garand went through many design adjustments over the next few years, but from the start it was a revolutionary firearm. I’m not arguing that banning imports is right, but it’s technically not unconstitutional. Gun control groups such as Moms Demand Action applauded the measure as a common sense way to reduce gun violence that plagues our inner cities. In order to be effective, they have to reduce the number of guns in society by significant amounts. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. If the intend in some state is to reduce the round count that such firearms can be loaded with, this perhaps one of the ones that should be allowed. I learned something new today. Sam Cummings was a legend in the arms industry. While they oppose the civilian ownership of “military style” weapons, they are more than willing to support the militarization of domestic police forces. Which will be exacerbated by the likelihood that formerly legal firearms will inevitably end up in the hands of criminals, rather than being neutralized. Ha only in your dreams Shell just move on to the new cause du jour of whoever wants to pay her to continue shilling. And a child would not have been suspended due to any of the above “gun-related” offenses. Even worse there are gun owners who are okay/actively support these (except the M1 Garand/M1 Carbine ban cause ‘Merican made) as long it does not affect their AR-15 and 1911. My understanding is that the Guardsmen were equipped with M1 carbines, not M1 Garand rifles. Refuse to be a slave to the whim of an overreaching public SERVANT. (You know how scary they look) Next is all semi’s, next all those with a “clip”, then tubular mags, then handguns with a mag, then revolvers, and so on. They might retreat into the shadows to regroup. If a picture is worth a thousand words, you should be skeptical about what this picture from "Moms Demand Action" has to say.
If Obama’s lips are moving, he’s lying. That is how I got into shooting as a poor college student years ago. (Well, more than once, anyway…). * Finger gun gestures 6 - M1 Garand Operation and Maintenance Guide 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Purpose and Scope Although the M1 Garand Rifle is no longer actively used by the U.S. Military, Public Law 106-65 (10 USC 4683) allows for the conditional donation by the U.S. Government of .30 Caliber M1 Garand Rifles to eligible organizations for use by Even if production were halted tomorrow, those 300 million existing firearms are going to take generations to neutralize through confiscation, attrition, etc. Second Amendment supporters made serious gains in rolling back gun control laws from 1994 through 2013. 300 million firearms currently present in the country, with thousands (?) If anything, I’d argue that he doesn’t go far enough in exposing their long-term multifaceted strategy.
All the neighbors were vets. The very muskets that won this country’s revolutionary war could get caught in the gun control dragnet.
Like the T3E2, the Model 1924 Garand Autoloading Rifle isn’t a true M1 Garand, but its place on this list needs no explanation. People out there in still free America, this crap is spreading everywhere with political activists challenging and abridging constitutional protections where ever they land. Best comment @ Mom’s Demand Some Action page @ this pic is from “Ball Ball”: “Why not just put up a sign saying “No Armed Robbery Allowed!”. It will never work. And the rate of “gun violence” and overall violent crime was cut in half.
They had just come off an extended deployment to deal with a trucker’s strike and a strike by the URW.… Read more ». Now that the progressive wing in the Democratic Party has been shattered and America is about to usher in the first populous president since Andrew Jackson, it will be interesting to know when those hundreds of thousands of M1 Garands and M1 carbines will be released to the American public. Even though some get caught a lot still get away with it because there is no standard AK made here that can compare to the imports quality-wise without them costing well above $1,000. the Koreans cannot resell M-1 to Americans. But if they succeed, then it’s on to the next state. Yet today, we are told that reintroducing these service rifles into the market would lead to an increase in crime and gun violence. Ironic, huh? They cost a bit more now than when I got one in 1986. Executive oversight of the ATF does NOT give anyone authority to override the Constitution, which is law. The carbine cartridge is much weaker and is essentially a pistol cartridge on steroids – in fact, some pistols have been chanbered for it. Yes, I see thugs in the streets all the time carrying M1 Garand Rifles. The problem with that is that people will blindly buy “Made in America”, even if the quality is poor or the price is exhorbant. We all know how often M1s are used in street crime, mass shootings, concealed carry etc. All taught their children to shoot and handle firearms properly. Their response will be “we didn’t go far enough” and will result in an increasingly draconian backlash. The National Guard was ill equipped to deal with civil unrest on the college campus. However, as I grew older (middle and high school), I became more fearful of guns due to the news-media hype about guns, gun control, “Saturday Night Specials,” portrayal of guns on TV and movies, etc. I knew that we had just changed over to the M-16 and thought that the Guard/Reserve had gotten the “hand me down” M-14.… Read more ». I own 8 imports, because I am also not a wealthy man. Statists will blithely destroy their host and then move on to the next victim, completely unaware of the wake of destruction they leave in their path. They do not have an ideology or group guiding their actions. God bless the day NOBAMA is just a bad memory. Let’s not forget all the kids who are being made examples of in order to advance the Statist agenda of absolute control: * Pop-Tarts shaped like Idaho * inviting as many newbies to the range as possible Given that arms are produced domestically, and that the federal government has the power to regulate what we import and export, these import bends technically aren’t a violation of the 2nd Amendment, or any other constitutional provision that I’m aware of. If anything, the Kent State Massacre legitimizes the civilian ownership of comparable military style firearms.
7. We have facts, reason, logic, and real world actions on our side.
And 594 is very likely to succeed. The Statists are like a virus, consuming their host, then moving on to the next victim. * LEGO guns for Minifigures Your email address will not be published. If we could only get a look at their actual books. They also need to control schools, which is why the National Education Association so virulently opposes homeschooling, voucher systems, charter schools, etc. Is this organization run from inside an insane asylum? My issued weapon many decades ago was an M-1 Carbine.
M1 Garand-Lower Band-USGI $ 19.00 Add to cart. I have an M1 Carbine.. need the Garand to go with it!
I think it was on the cover of Life Magazine.
They seem to me to be a bunch of independent actors trying to use this issue to further their own careers. I hear they make great conceal carry weapons. A Professor there said that if the students had known that the soldiers had loaded weapons, they would not have pushed them as far as they did. I also don’t share the optimism that MDA, Brady Campaign, etc. I suspect their approach is more like: fail in the legislative sphere with the backing of the president. * starting a 4-H shooting club This is almost sure to happen, because even though crime hasn’t been reduced elsewhere when guns were banned or restricted, we have a much larger number of crimes committed with guns than does the UK, Japan or Australia. What is next, the muzzle loader flintlock types?
* T-shirts with image of firearm
Outlawing Guns, one weapon at a time. Don’t misunderstand me: I disagree with the import bans just as much, but there isn’t much we could do about it from a constitutional perspective. Succeed in getting guns banned in large, well known, retail businesses. What will be next? * T-shirts with words about the 2nd Amendment Political correctness, that’s why! 1. 5000 miles of loose border and 1000 people illegally crossing the U.S. on a daily basis will ensure that criminals will always have access to guns. Are they receiving any foreign $ to overthrow our Constitution?
On the fourth day of the protests, the National Guard soldiers — equipped with M1 Garands — fixed their bayonets and drove the student protesters off of the university quad. We now have Obama to thank for the banning of cheap, surplus 7n6 5.45 ammo (never mind it passed the ATF definition of not being an AP round, they still banned it anyway. Too many people, truth be told. No doubt, enormous stocks of .30 ball ammunition, spare parts and accessories will be available too.
