An add-on to the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act coming up in the Senate includes a plan to transfer the U.S. Army’s remaining stock of .45 ACP 1911A1 pistols to the Civilian Marksmanship Program.

Setting spending policy for $612 billion in funds for the Department of Defense, the “must-pass” bill pushed through the House on Thursday in a 270-156 vote and is expected to be taken up for a final roll call in the Senate this week, where an earlier version passed 71-25 in June, then it’s on to President Obama’s desk.

Irony of ironies. After his incessant whining the past few days since the Oregon incident, will he sign this? If so, would anyone call him on it? Hello face, meet egg. Me likey.

Keep us posted on this if you can.

1911 Pow!

When are these chuckleheads going to cut some milsurplus ammo loose?

[ChildOfThe60s]

I’d sure like to get one of those.

Obama will end this over one mulatto pinheads actions

I have read that these are pretty well worn but sometimes what you read is not true.

My older Brother bought and M1 carbine and a 1911 through the CMP way back in the late 50s I think. They were both in like new condition. I guess his Son has them now.

100,000? These will be gone in one day if this bill passes.

[Carriage Hill]

I’d like to get one, but $5 says he’ll probably kill it, like he did with 2013 EO on M1 Garands & Carbines.

Lyin’ king has already said he’ll veto it so we’ll see.

The chances of Barack signing this bill are even less than the chances of a triple-triple Kobe beef cheeseburger on Michelle Obama’s plate making it through the day.

The 2014 EO reasoned that they were dangerous.
So here is the Preezy implying that arms made in America are not trustworthy.

I hate the SOB

Those arms would be a boon to American collectors and would help Greece with their financial debts

CMP has some Greek HXP 30-06 M2 Ball right now.

[SJackson]

Perhaps, but he’ll be vetoing the entire military appropriations bill, not just the transfer to CMP.

[mylife]

Thanks but no 30.06 here.
Any 30 carbine?

[Liberty Valance]

I'd like to have one of these my own self.

It’s time for the Legislative Branch of the government to do a few “end runs” around Der Fuhrer Branch. The sissy boys need to put on their big boy pants and get to work.

ValJ, Pelosi, and Reid have made the term “lame duck” President totally obsolete, at least for Democrats.
