Petition On Re-Importation of US M1 Rifles and Carbines: Deadline, 23 March, 2017
I checked with Chad, and he felt this posting was within forum guidelines.
There are literally hundreds of thousands of M1 Garand, M1
Carbine and GI 1911s overseas, in South Korea, Turkey, and
elsewhere. The previous POTUS issued Executive Order 13637,
which prohibited the re-importation of all US military firearms,
regardless of vintage.
There is currently a citizen's petition page on Whitehouse.gov,
requesting our current President to rescind Executive Order
13637, and allow the re-importation of Garands, carbines,
ammunition, etc.
If the petition receives 100,000 online-signatures in 30 days,
the Administration is required to consider the petition and make
a disposition on it.
Currently there are less than 3,500 signatures. We have until
March 23d, to hit 100K.
Take a look and see what you think--if you agree, pass it on.

Thanks for posting the link. I think it is insane at our millions of soldiers relied on these firearms to defend our nation, but now they are "evil guns" that can't be brought in and sold. Plus does the CMP funds go into the national treasury??

No.
The Civilian Marksmanship Program is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, chartered by the United States Congress.
The CMP is not a federal agency. It has no say so in political or legislative decisions affecting firearms importation or reimportation.
Apart from a donation of surplus .22 and .30 caliber rifles in the Army's inventory to the CMP, the CMP receives no federal funding.
Its sales revenues help fund gun safety training and marksmanship programs for young shooters.
They do good work with their limited revenue.

CMP will only get guns that where loaned to a country, ie. military assistance program (MAP). If the country has bought them, they have to be brought in via an importer.

signed and dswancutt is correct, those guns will come in commercial not CMP unless they officially still belong to the US Armed Services and were loaned to those foreign countries.

Just an idea; what about re-importing NFA firearms? Besides the M1 Garands and M1 Carbines, I'm sure we have exported things like M2 Carbines, M3 and M3A1 SMGs, 1919A4 machineguns, M14 rifles, etc. Am I the only one who would like to see some of these C&R NFA firearms imported and registered for transfer to qualified collectors?

For an update on Re-Importation, check out the article on page 89 of the April issue of the American Rifleman...

Forum members can click here if they want to read the article online. The link will take you to the page.
I'd read the article when I received my issue of the magazine. It doesn't really say anything of earth-shattering importance. The article really isn't informative at all regarding the re-importation of defense surplus firearms, though. All it does is reiterate that the NRA has been part of a "long running effort to repatriate tens of thousands of M1 Garand rifles and hundreds of thousands of M1 Carbines from South Korea." The article goes on to mention that there's no clear public safety reason why these weapons can't be brought back home.
Other than that, there's no mention of any progress being made to achieve this goal, simply because there isn't any progress being made. The article is basically just a position statement, nothing more.

I think the fact that the Deputy Director of the ATF has suggested these more positive steps ( at least put them in writing) is a move in the right direction. Much more positive then the previous administration.
