"The possible return of US made M1's has been a topic of some rather heated discussion. First, they were coming home as the US was going to purchase them. Then the Obama administration reversed it’s position and has banned the 'import' of these rifles into the US."
"Next we have South Korea thinking of selling these rifles to a wholesaler outside the US. Now this is novel as the actual ownership of these rifles is open to question."

"Daniel Gallington, a writer for the Cypress Times, has done some more digging on the issue of why the M1 rifles the United States gave to Korea years ago are still being barred from returning by the Obama administration. As it turns out, according to his research, we still own them.""This was a 'grant aid' program, which meant that they were not 'sold' to the Koreans, and the ROK did not own them. They were loaned, and remained the property of the US government, specifically the US Army, who was the 'logistic implementer' for the MAP program." ... |

"An aspect of self defense in one's home that isn't discussed much is revenge. Robert Wallace of Wheat Ridge, Colorado had his 15 minutes of fame when he was charged with 4 counts of attempted murder for firing two shots at two criminals stealing his trailer parked in his yard. Eventually the courts ... decided that probation would be enough, but took all his guns away from him. Society is safe and justice is served."
"Now, his RV has been purposely burned by someone. ... He believes it is revenge and that is a pretty good guess since the police have said the thieves he shot at belonged to a car theft ring. ... The government has disarmed him to protect society. Who protects Mr. Wallace?" |

He does not believe the government has unlimited power over its citizens. If only we had more judges like him. ..." ... |

In an attempt to (once again) refute the doomsday predictions of those who believe that Iowa will revert to some sort of O.K. Corral or third-world landscape, let's take another look at the dire predictions and unfounded comments by some of the other people interviewed in the article." ... |
