Petition On Re-Importation of US M1 Rifles and Carbines: Deadline, 23 March, 2017

[Steve912]

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??

...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.

Either way works for me
