    Obama bans some rifle imports

    Obama bans over 100,000 rifles

    According to The Korea Times, the Obama administration has blocked efforts by the South Korean government to sell over a hundred thousand surplus M1 Garand and Carbine rifles into the United States market. These self-loading were rifles introduced in 1926 and 1941. As rifles, they are especially well-suited to community defense in an emergency, as in the cases of community defense following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Andrew in 1992.

    They banned the importation, not the guns themselves, and they have the power to do so, just as barrels cannot be imported in parts kits any more.

    Either way, it sucks.
