Boozman Tells Hillary To Repeal Gun Ban

Earlier this month, abortion my counterpart David Codrea wrote about a recent decision by the Obama Administration to ban the import of old, viagra sale surplus army rifles from South Korea.  The administration, after previously approving the transaction, says the firearms could fall into the wrong hands. From Fox News:

“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.

The Korean Times reported:

“The U.S. insisted that imports of the aging rifles could cause problems such as firearm accidents. It was also worried the weapons could be smuggled to terrorists, gangs or other people with bad intentions,” the official told The Korea Times.

However, Congressmen John Boozman of Arkansas and Paul Broun of Georgia, in concert with a bipartisan group of 60 other legislators, are fighting to save the rifles.

Boozman and Broun drafted a letter of disapproval  (signed by all 62 members of Congress) and sent it on September 17 to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.  The letter spelled out their disagreement to the ban on these historic firearms.-[source]
