Digging yourself into a hole dude. This was COMMON KNOWLEDGE for a year now among the C&R folks.

Was just about to say this. What about Swiss K31's, Iszmash Saiga 308s, Romanian PSLs, etc etc?

I let out a sigh of relief after reading the story. While i'd love to get my hands on a few of those rifles, and I loathe the government from preventing it from happening, I am somewhat relieved to know that the "100,000 rifles" weren't some sort of list similar to Clinton's weapons ban list. Still, this is bad enough.

Public safety is a compelling state interest.
SO I don't this????Attachment 66993

Public safety is a compelling state interest.
^^^Only when it suits one's political agenda. Otherwise public safety is usually ignored completely.

So the one who screams the loudest for the First Amendment regarding the Ground Zero mosque has absolutly no problem encouraging the violation of the Second Amendment when it suits his political agenda. How convenient.

These firearms fall under the category of curio & relic.

i know it does. still doesn't seem right for them to make lotsa money off what was basically a gift. then again, i'd rather they sold 'em back to us than to someone else.
