re: #173 Aceofwhat?

I don’t know if they’re questioning the story…i think that the story is legit, but the spin seems funny. I can still go down to the gun store and buy a gun, right? I don’t understand why it would be a “ban” if i can still buy the same gun that i could yesterday…

If this is like the sale in the ’80s, the M1s would probably have been resold by the government through the Civilian Marksmanship Program run out of Anniston Army Depot and Camp Perry. Don’t tell anyone, but right now anyone who joins the program (easy for vets) can get an M1 carbine for less than 500 bucks. There are a lot of details missing from these reports, perhaps innocently.

(When I sell off a couple handguns, I might visit my daughter in Anniston and see what’s available there. Those are the only two locations where CMP works over-the counter. Everyone else has to trust their grading system for online sales.)
