The repeatedly stated reason for denying the import of M1 Garands was straight from the Brady campaign.
They claim the rifles take a high capacity magazine...
The denial of import has been hanging around since 2009.
Reminds me of the poem “Pigs is pigs”.

A five-round internal magazine (IIRC) is now considered high capacity??? On what planet?

The term “rational, gun-control reason” is an oxymoron.

SK should have sold them in 2008 back to the US when Bush was Pres.

Without the 8 round clip they are single shot rifles.

On planet Brady actually.
8 round clip is considered a “High capacity magazine”.
That was the reason the State Department gave for denying the import of these rifles in 2009.

The Brady bunch has a goal of eliminating all privately owned firearms whether semi-auto, bolt action, breech loading, or muzzle loading.

And why the Governor of New York, Il Duce Cuomo, limited magazines to hold a maximum of seven,........ till the courts found out there were no Seven Clip Magazines currently manufactured in the US.

Not suprising at all; and, pretty important that they prevent such imports:
These are very good, long range rifles, easily hitting the _riflemans_quarter_mile_ when used by a true rifleman. What they hit, they take out.
To: Hugin
Thanks for the correction. While I was almost sure that the stripper clips (That is the correct term, isn’t it?) I’d seen only held five rounds, I’ve personally never fired an M1. I may have been thinking of the ‘03 bolt action Springfield from WWI.
