Sen. John McCain wants to stop the CMP from selling 1911s

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Sen. John McCain wants to stop the CMP from selling 1911s (Page 1 of 4)

Posted: 6/15/2016 4:37:05 PM EDT

Hooray! The GOP is once again supporting the 2nd Amendment..... by being two faced. For those that don't know. The CMP was going to be allowed to sell some surplus US Military 1911 pistols.

Well, John McCain is trying to change it to where the 1911s are sent them to Museums and not the CMP for sale to civilians.

The latest version of the NDA Act for 2017 passed by the Senate limits the 1911s from the Army to be 2,000 sent to museums. No 1911s for the CMP.

NDA Act 2017

SEC. 331. Repurposing and reuse of surplus military firearms.

(a) Army transfers.—

(1) REQUIRED TRANSFER.—Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, and subject to paragraphs (3) and (4), the Secretary of the Army shall transfer to Rock Island Arsenal all excess firearms, related spare parts and components, small arms ammunition, and ammunition components currently stored at Defense Distribution Depot, Anniston, Alabama, that are no longer actively issued for military service.

(2) REPURPOSING AND REUSE.—The items specified for transfer under paragraph (1) shall be melted and repurposed for military use as determined by the Secretary of the Army, including—

(A) the re-forging of new firearms or their components; and

(B) force protection barriers and security bollards.

(3) TRANSFER FOR HISTORICAL PURPOSES.—Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) and (2), the Secretary may transfer up to 2,000 surplus caliber .45 M1911/M1911A1 pistols and 2,000 M–14 Rifles to a military museum for display and preservation.

(4) ITEMS EXEMPT FROM TRANSFER.—M–1 Garand and caliber .22 rimfire rifles are not subject to the transfer requirement under paragraph (1).

(b) Navy transfers.—Section 40728 of title 36, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:

"(i) Authorized Navy transfers.—

"(1) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b), the Secretary of the Navy may transfer to the corporation, in accordance with the procedures prescribed in this subchapter, M–1 Garand and caliber .22 rimfire rifles held within the inventories of the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps and stored at Defense Distribution Depot, Anniston, Alabama, or Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane, Indiana, as of the date of the enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017.

"(2) USE AS MARKSMANSHIP TROPHIES.—The items specified for transfer under paragraph (1) shall be used as awards for competitors in marksmanship competitions held by the United States Marine Corps or the United States Navy and may not be resold.”.

He has a tiny fraction of this right: Send some to museums, but sell the rest to the public. These are historic pieces and should go back to the people who originally bought them for our military.

Well, if the CMP sells them, most will go to geriatric hoarders sophisticated collectors, never to see the light of day again, so pretty much a museum.

The law as passed last year authorizes the transfer of 10,000 1911s to the CMP.

McCain's amendment to this year's Defense Authorization is just a section of the Senate's bill. Is there a sponsor in the House version ? If not McCain is trying to over ride last year's public law.

Contact the Rep that wrote the legislation and pushed the transfer last year. He won't be happy that McCain is trying to submarine him. This language can be stricken in the joint committee deliberations if only one side has voted on it.

Any idea how many 1911s does the Army have in storage and could transfer to CMP? 2k? 20k? 200k?

Also, surprised he didn't demand the arms to be re-distributed to the Glorious Democratic Martyrs Brigades tribal militia somewhere, who later turn out to be an ISIS franchise.

Can I, being from Florida, send him an e-mail telling him he is a disgrace to his office and a liar for not supporting the Second Amendment to the Constitution? Can I also tell him he is no longer fit to occupy the office he currently holds.? Much like the one I sent the Dem-o-rat Bill Nelson from Florida. Would it hold water? Either way I would like him to know now more than ever, with all due respect, that his room at the Hilton is now ready for him.

Democrats try and fuck us out of every liberty and freedom they can. While if the Republicans do anything at all, it will be to sell us out.

Been that for several decades, guys. Why is anyone surprised anymore?
