“5. Carbine, cal. 6.67 NATO, M4 — 29 rd. or 30 rd.*”

Change: “6.67 NATO” to “5.56 NATO”.
Change: “29” to “20” rd. magazine.

It has always been about handguns. Assault rifles are just a decoy to try and get their anti-gun foot in the door.

Once they get a ban on AWs then they will use the same reasons to go after handguns.

John Kennedy killed with a 5 shot bolt action rifle.

Medgar Evers, shot with a 5 shot 1917 bolt action Enfield rifle.

Martin Luther King, shot with a 4 shot Remington 760 pump action Gamemaster rifle.

Bobby Kennedy with a .22 Iver Johnson Cadet revolver.

George Wallace wounded with a 5 shot Charter Arms .38spl revolver.

Gerald Ford attacked with a 7 shot 1911 semi auto.

Edmond OK post office with two National Guard 7 shot 1911 pistols.

Ronald Reagan and Jim Brady with an RG-14 .22 revolver.

What do they all have in common? NONE over 7 rounds, yet after each one came a cry of panic to ban them.

The anti-gunners will not stop when they get a 10 round limit on magazine capacity.

The fact they also want to ban the 10 round SKS proves that.

Are any units still equipped with the M1 or the M1 carbine? I have always believed that both were finally retired from reserve use by the mid-1970s. I am aware that a few small demonstration and ceremonial units still have Garands (albeit parade guns), but I can’t think of any US unit still equipped with the carbine.
