FOXNews.com - Obama Administration Reverses Course, Forbids Sale of 850,000 Antique Rifles
The South Korean government, in an effort to raise money for its military, wants to sell nearly a million antique M1 rifles that were used by U.S. soldiers in the Korean War to gun collectors in America.
The Obama administration approved the sale of the American-made rifles last year. But it reversed course and banned the sale in March – a decision that went largely unnoticed at the time but that is now sparking opposition from gun rights advocates.
A State Department spokesman said the administration's decision was based on concerns that the guns could fall into the wrong hands.
"The transfer of such a large number of weapons -- 87,310 M1 Garands and 770,160 M1 Carbines -- could potentially be exploited by individuals seeking firearms for illicit purposes," the spokesman told FoxNews.com.
"We are working closely with our Korean allies and the U.S. Army in exploring alternative options to dispose of these firearms."

So when do we get paid for these weapons?
the government once was paid for those weapons by citizens who had already paid for them with taxes.

those weapons didn't cost the government anything and they made money off of them
obama is a scummy gun hater
nothing more nothing less--a MI garand is hardly a weapon that has much criminal utility given they are four feet long and cannot be concealed by anyone short of Ralph Samson or Kareem Abdul Jabbar
Using that logic you could say the government pays for nothing, as you can never tell what spending in the federal budget was borrowed, printed, or actually collected.
And most anti-gun President in history? What anti-gun laws has he signed? Literally none, and I'm pretty sure none is less than Clinton's Assault Weapon Ban.
Wow you are on a roll. I was talking about when do the tax payers get paid on these guns.
you need to look at Obama and Biden's records over their political careers versus clinton and gore
they won't pass a gun ban because they saw what happened in 1994. If they thought they would pick up seats by banning all guns they would. Their Attorney General said he wanted to reinstitute and extend the clinton gun ban and he filed an amicus brief against gun rights in Heller v DC
Wow you are on a roll. I was talking about when do the tax payers get paid on these guns.
Here's the fact, no anti gun law has been passed by Obama. But yes there is a conspiracy, ok sure. They want to ban all guns, right...

If that's so, then why did The One ban the sale of these rifles?
You have the right to get on the internet and ask absurd questions, without fear of reprisal. You've been paid, in full, for these weapons.
lets see if I can follow your logic
Many republicans despise Obama and Biden and Pelosi-those GOPers would love to see them impeached
but they haven't been impeached so obviously the GOP politicians don't hate them.
Do you know how the impeach process works? Even if every Republican congressmen actually wanted to impeach Obama, which they don't, they couldn't anyway.
If that's so, then why did The One ban the sale of these rifles?
As opposed to the millions of guns made in America each year that could potentially fall into the wrong hands?
I don't understand this.
do you know how politics work-even if Obama wants to ban guns, harry reid realizes what would happen to the dems if they tried to do that (see 1994 again) and thus Obama cannot.
You didn't answer my question. You literally asked me why the party in the minority in both houses of Congress didn't impeach the President, and then stated that because they didn't then they must in fact not hate the President. Personally I doubt many members of congress would say they "hate" the President, and secondly this really shows off your lack of understanding of government.
As for the 1994 elections, I think its silly to suggest that a single issue drove that election against the democrats. But that again is speculation, as you are doing too, you've offered no evidence to suggest that a new assault weapons ban would affect the outcome of congressional elections.
