Way back when, while I was in Boot, our M-14 rifles lacked firing pin, and therefore could not be fired. Pins were installed by the armorers at Camp Pendleton when we went there for Phase II Marksmanship training. When we finished the course at Edson Range the firing pins were again removed and we returned to Boot in San Deigo with our non firing rifles.
The Marine at 8th & I are wekk aware of that method of disabling a rifle..... seems like they delibertely had their Marines remove the bolts, when ordered to disable their rifles so all could see Obama’s paranoia.......
lolololol Obama just got pwned big time. Fool!
I think you’re right - the rifles could have been disabled without it being glaringly obvious with that gaping hole where the bolt should be.
Quick question: Why are the Marines carrying Garands, anyway? I thought the M-14 was the ceremonial rifle, like at Arlington, and those rifles are NOT disabled.
Not the first time the Marines gave their own back to POTUS. Remember whenever the draft dodger Clinton exited Marine One, the guard saluted but failed to execute the right face in order to watch the CoC’s back until out of sight. A military eye would have spotted this, but none were in the WH staff. Clinton was silently insulted by the Marine Corps all those years & never realized it.
Anyway, what kind of comment is it about our current POTUS that he doesn’t trust the citizenry with guns & doesn’t even trust his own military with guns? And we commoners are supposed to trust the police with guns, while being exhorted to give up our own?
Did GWB ever appear among his soldiers with their weapons disabled? I’m not aware of it.
