The truth about Obama’s new executive orders targeting antique guns

Obama to Nix Imports, Require FBI Checks for Firearms Trusts
Obama’s policies are driven by little, if anything, more than ideology unfiltered by reality.
More than a century ago, Congress established the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice and authorized it to sell surplus military firearms to Americans interested in improving their marksmanship in support of national defense. “The Board,” as it was commonly known among avid rifle shooters for decades, now exists as the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP).
To the everlasting benefit of all of us who are committed to maintaining Americans’ marksmanship superiority over the peoples of all other countries on Earth, the CMP has continued to sell M1 Garands, many in outstanding condition. In doing so, the program has given tens of thousands of Americans the chance to develop their rifle skills with one of the most important firearms in our nation’s history–which Gen. George S. Patton described as “the single greatest battle implement ever devised”–and to test those skills in its popular John C. Garand Matches, held across the country and during the National Rifle Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio. As the legendary Jeff Cooper once observed, “the purpose of shooting is hitting,” and the contribution of John C. Garand and the CMP to that worthy goal has been immeasurable.
However, you know how President Obama feels about guns.
On Thursday, Obama’s gun expert, Vice-President Joe “Two Blasts” Biden, announced that the president will use his executive authority and provisions of the Arms Export Control Act to deny future applications, by private importers, to import “surplus military weapons” for sale to private citizens. Lest there be any confusion, in this instance “surplus military weapons” means rifles, pistols and shotguns, and excludes fully-automatics, which haven’t been legal to import for sale to private citizens since 1968.
