mp40 Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 OK, we all know about Herr Klintons fiendish plans for world domination..But, what do you think the purpose of the ban on American made firearms parts importation was? Was it to protect the world from all of those old Thompson parts and old Sears 12 gauges that are prevented from returning to the U.S.A. from Europe? http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/dry.gif or?

Walter63a Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 I think that Clinton was-is a liberal globalist, who thought nothing of doing the bidding of the U.N. And, as we all know, one of the major goals of the U.N. for at least the past decade has been to disarm America. The U.N. wants the people of the U.S. to cease being citizens of the greatest nation on earth and to become a second-rate nation, subject to its whims. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/blink.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/mad.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/sad.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/cool.gif Regards, Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Surley the 1968 ban on importing class III weapons, and the 1986 ban on newly manufactured U.S. Class III weapons, impacted the machine gun community to a much greater degree. The 1992 ban is absurd on its face. The objective being to diminish the resevoir of parts to keep MGs' working. I think the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989 fueled the 1992 law. The Dems were hip to the vast repository of gun parts from ex Soviet Bloc countries, as well as Mexico, GB, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter63a Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Arthur, I essentially agree with you. However, without the parts to keep our MG's running, they are pretty useless, for fun or protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mp40 Posted December 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Was it put in place to protect the American firearms industry? This might be the truth as is the GCA of 68' I think that that law did more for the domestic firearms industry than any other factor...I mean, that they had to put a stop to all of the inexpensive surplus firearms that where pouring into the U.S. prior to 68.' what does everyone think?

mp40 Posted December 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Arthur, good point, and yes, the dem-o-rats are definately aware of the gun parts issue! They would do just about anything to stop all importation/sale of any firearms/or parts thereof...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 MP40, You may have something there regarding the positive impact the laws had on the U.S. gun manufacturers. Walter, I think there are still an abundance of parts for WWII Thompsons in this country. Everytime you turn around SARCO, IMA, RECON, etc, stumbles across crates in some undisclosed wharehouse. Even though Class III weapons might be used for protection, I would guess that plinking and collecting are their main attraction for owners.

mp40 Posted December 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Yes, cutting off the importation of foreign made firearms and supporting legislation on parts importation has to be of major importance to the manufacturers. Bill Ruger was said to have supported the "assault weapons" ban mostly due to that the Mini 14 wasn't named on the "list" (an oversight?) Also, he refused to sell "high capacity" magazines for the Mini 14 (except to law enforcement and the military) since the Mini 14 was introduced...And that's just one manufacturer! what did the others say/do? Colt/Smith&Wesson etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter63a Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Hardrede, thanks for the explanation. I totally agree with you on the moral rot ocurring in this country and that if we don't stand and fight it together, our Second Amendment rights will be legislated out of existence, or the courts will slowly whitle away at them. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/blink.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/mad.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/sad.gif Regards, Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 I had a Bicentenial Mini 14 purchased new in 1976. I am partial to arms made in the state I grew up in. It was a fine weapon, even though I never could completely get used to its looks. It wasn't an M-14! But I sold it for three times its original value 20 years later. I do prefer my M-1 "I" stock Quality Hardware Carbine for its history, looks, and just plain plinking fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter63a Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Hardrede, for now we all need to go along to get along. However, we don't have to like it or sit back and take it!

mp40 Posted December 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Yes, The M1 carbine with a 30 round M2 magazine in it just has the right look to it....I loved all of my "beater" carbines I have had....That reminds me, anyone know where an inexpensive M1 (complete) parts kit can be found?

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Isn't Pat Buchannon a confirmed supporter of protectionism? Maybe that's why his presidential aspirations peeked in New Hampshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 I find him entertaining as a polemicist, but as a presidential candidate he suffers from foot in mouth disease much like the ex-govenor from Vermont does today.
