A Korean government official said, “It’s difficult to understand why the U.S. opposes the deal now, when we already shipped tens of thousands of these firearms to the U.S. in the early 1990s. We are trying to grasp the real underlying cause of this reversal through diplomatic channels.” He added that because these firearms were originally made in the U.S., selling them back needs approval from Washington.

How about because THE US GOV’T DOESN’T WANT OR NEED NEARLY 1 MILLION M1s.

I’m sure they did ship tens of thousands in the early 90s. We didn’t need, want, or use them then, either.

WASTEFUL SPENDING. Remember when conservatives used to get pathologically turgid over that?
