The problem (to them) is that its a gun

The reason you cannot understand the problem with these rifles is you are trying to apply logic.

Just your run of the mill 2A trampling under guise of government "policy". Just like what the ATF is currently doing by only allowing the importation of what they consider "sporting" arms into the country. The definition of "sporting" is entirely up to how they feel.

My question is, are the M1 Garands going to be import marked? If the stars align maybe the CMP will have "cheap" M1's

There's always the Beretta BM59 or Citadel Carbine.

You want the REAL reason???? the one that a "Certain party' won't ever actually Admit to???

 

THIS..is what put the Carbine on the list

It was recently suggested to me that it could also have been because of Patty Hearst. I have not been able to determine what type of rifle she is holding in the photos she is in. Malcolm X makes sense too.

Yes it is required by the GCA.
