I have been around a few, but maybe I am ignorant...
What exactly makes an M1 Garand more “dangerous” to public safety than, say... A browning BAR in any modern caliber, or a Ruger Mini-14/Mini 30, or a Remington 7400? The name? The fact that they came from a military depot?
Kind of like the old - add a pistol grip or a accessory rail to a rifle and suddenly make it a banned assault weapon...
This isn’t about public safety, it is about power and keeping it out of the hands of citizens.

Evidence indicates that the M1 Garand is a proven killer of communists. Therefore, the communists don’t want them back in the country.
