Obama is keeping us safe from weapons “in the wrong hands” volokh.com 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.” We certainly wouldn’t want the epidemic of violence that would inevitably flow from high school kids hiding 10 pound, 4 foot long, wood-stocked rifles in their back packs. Those easy-to-conceal dimensions, plus the easy reloading, high-capacity 8-round clips that you can jam into the rifle, one after the next after the next, with only a few weeks of practice aligning the clips into the open action, pushing them down, and getting your thumb out of the way before the bolt smashes forward, threaten to destroy society entirely. The crappy finish on the wood, the iron sights and 50 year old canvas slings just make these weapons even more deadly. tjic.com
