Non-political question about proposed sale of Korean M1s

[Akulahawk]

If you read the quote in Badger's post, it states that military firearms can only be brought into the US by a licensed importer. The CMP, as awesome an entity as it is, is not an importer. I think that a big issue really is whether or not those rifles were actually lend-leased, outright sold, or were converted to a sale and whether or not the US had been paid for those rifles. I would simply like to see the whole mess resolved so that it's no longer an issue.

Actually, I don't think it means that, although I may be wrong. I think the statement Military surplus firearms sold under "Lend Lease" and similar arms assistance programs cannot be imported, as these weapons are >>prohibited<< by the Arms Export Control Act of 1976 (22 USC 2778) means that NO surplus firearms sold under "Lend Lease" may be imported, regardless of importer status.
