~snip~ For months, Fleischmann has been waging a mostly behind-the-scenes assault against an order President Barack Obama put in place last fall barring private groups or individuals from bringing most military surplus firearms back into the United States after they have been sold or donated to foreign allies.

~snip~ Fleischmann has inserted language into a federal budget bill that, if approved, would in effect halt the order by preventing the administration from spending any federal money to enforce it.

I'm sure the left will actively try to squelch this. After all, those old M1 rifles are state-of-the-art WMDs that are responsible for hundreds of U.S. deaths every year.

And those high capacity powerful M1 carbines

As far as the left is concerned, Americans cannot
be trusted with these high capacity lead delivery systems.

Obama doesn’t want you to have ANY type of military weapon, including the Brown Bess.

We, the citizens and taxpayers, paid for those weapons in the first place. In a very real sense, they are ours. No government/regime has the legitimate authority to prevent us from bringing them home.
