With the passage of this bill, NRA-ILA wraps up its appropriations work for the year. Our efforts on the huge spending bill were rewarded with the restoration of a longstanding rider to protect M-1 carbines, M-1 Garands, M-14s, .22 caliber rifles, and others from being destroyed. This language also includes a prohibition on the destruction of small arms ammunition and components, and a response to the short-lived concern over destruction of spent brass casings earlier this year. Section 8019 of the bill reads: "None of the funds available to the Department of Defense may be used to demilitarize or dispose of M-1 Carbines, M-1 Garand rifles, M-14 rifles, .22 caliber rifles, .30 caliber rifles, or M-1911 pistols, or to demilitarize or destroy small arms ammunition or ammunition components that are not otherwise prohibited from commercial sale under Federal law, unless the small arms ammunition or ammunition components are certified by the Secretary of the Army or designee as unserviceable or unsafe for further use." NRA-ILA would like to thank U.S. Representative John Murtha (D-PA) for his help in getting the rider restored and expanded. To read the full bill, please click here.

To: Nebuchadnezzar (#67) I admit that I know nothing about the Garand, but here's what I found in the first few minutes: "Garand Thumb" is caused by operator failure. Garand Thumb is easily avoided with proper loading technique. Thumb on top of clip facing forward with the rest of your fingers alongside the outside of the action in front of the op handle. Push down on the clip, thump the op handle. We The People  posted on  2009-12-20   14:24:47 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #70.

Don't waste your time on a weapon that is very particular about what ammo you feed it, remember these rifles are 50 years old or more, some going on 70, and you have to be very careful about what ammo you feed it.

That and the weight,but it seems to me like every firearm that has been replaced because it was too heavy ended up being replaced by some other firearm that weighs almost as much. If you aren't strong enough to carry a Garand,you aren't strong enough to carry a M-16. The lack of a detachable magazine is why the M-14 was designed. It fit the new "volume of fire" versus "accuracy of fire" philosophy the army came up with after facing the charging hordes of Chinese during the Korean War better than the Garand because accuracy wasn't really a issue when it was almost impossible to miss andthe new doctrine was to place a fully-automatic weapon in the hands of each soldier. Reloading it was also quicker and had to be done less often. Of course,as is typical with all bureaucracies,none of the numbnuts making this decision knew anything about combat other than what they had read,and almost none of them knew the first thing about shooting. The M-14 is virtually un-controllable in full-auto fire mode,and the typical soldier would put 2 rounds near the intended target and the next 18 would be endangering birds. This is why they ended up adopting a new doctrine that had them pulling the selector switches off of all squad M-14's except for one,and designating that guy to be the squad machinegunner. Anybody that has ever fired a BAR,which the squad full-auto M-14 replaced,and then fired a full-auto M-14 knows THAT particular brain fart was either hysterically funny or hysterically tragic. Anybody that even THINKS the M-14 is anywhere NEAR close to being a acceptable replacement for a BAR as a squad auto weapon should be bitch-slapped until he cries. Hell,even the SAW is a better squad auto rifle than the M-14 was,even though it's a 22 and still fires too damn fast. The selective fire version of the FN-FAL is vastly superior to both the M-14 and the SAW,but it couldn't overcome it's only major shortcoming,it wasn't made here. For fighting from a defensive position,you just can't beat a BAR when it comes to rifles,period. The next step up is a beltfed. The FN-FAL narrowly beats out the BAR for a offensive squad auto weapon,but only because it is slightly lighter and shorter. The FN-FAL can't touch a BAR when it comes to accuracy,though. Not even close. I used to know a old MSG during the VN war that had been in combat with the 82nd in WW-2 and the 187th during the Korean War as a infantryman,and his definition of idea varmit shooting conditions was being in the Delta with a BAR. sneakypete  posted on  2009-12-21   8:45:46 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #84. To: Sarajevo (#82) These young puppies don't realize that accuracy is never outmoded, and the Garand delivered that in spades. No kidding. I'm betting if you started handing out Garands to 1 trooper per squad to infantry units in Afghanistan,it wouldn't take long for the other guys in the squad to start offering to trade their sisters to you for one of their own. The Garand may not have been ideally suited for jungle warfare because of it's size and the power and range of the 30/06 not being needed,but it would really shine in Afghanistan. Soldiers there would lie,cheat,and steal to get their hands on one if they could. sneakypete  posted on  2009-12-21   8:49:59 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #85. To: sneakypete (#79) I see.

I, unlike you, didn't let something as paltry as "tuition" get in the way of educating myself. Do you think that MIGHT be because you weren't in and out of the VA hospital,and dealing with neurosurgeons because of physical injuries? Not to mention being administratively dis-enrolled for missing too many classes because of those hospital appointments? How would you "work your ass off" past that one,little boy? Blow the Dean of Admissions? Or just bend over and let him have a little of that ass? I worked my ass off getting my degree WHILE WORKING. No one paid a dime for my education. And I EARNED my GI Bill by serving 7 years as a infantry soldier who was in combat in 3 different countries. Your "working my ass off" bullshit isn't a drop in the bucket compared to the price that I and the other veterans paid. AND we did this for such paltry pay at the time that a 7-11 employee working 40 hours a week earned more. When I joined the army in 1964 a private was paid 67 dollars a MONTH. You could only do it if someone else picked up the tab. I would hurt you for that if you said it to my face,you sniveling punk! You are insulting me and every other veteran that suffered disabilities and loss of pay (not to mention educational opportunities) because we served the country,while you lay back on your safe and protected ass and served nobody but yourself. You're typical of the 60's generation. "Hey Uncle Sam, what are you going to do for me?" You are not just a fool,you are a world class fool who is so bleeping ignorant AND arrogant at the same time I doubt you are even capable of learning. I bet you voted for Clinton. Is that anything like having a handle on a internet gun board? sneakypete  posted on  2009-12-21   11:25:19 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #87. To: sneakypete, thor (#86) And I EARNED my GI Bill by serving 7 years as a infantry soldier who was in combat in 3 different countries. Your "working my ass off" bullshit isn't a drop in the bucket compared to the price that I and the other veterans paid. Thank you for your service, but you still had someone else pick up the tab. And you couldn't even finish on the free ride. And there you go again tooting your own horn. Didn't anyone tell you that was in poor taste? And this "price I paid" crap is called,"Doing the right thing." Is it not? When you do the right thing around your home do you go around looking for a pat on the back every time you do it? "Hey, did you see me help the old lady with her groceries?" And my dad and his WW2 buddies didn't go around with a sign on their back saying,"Hey, look at us, we saved the world from the Japs." Yet, you Viet Nam era vets never miss a chance to bring up your service and/or any "combat" you saw. Why is that? Funny, I worked in my dad's construction business while in high school and college. Most of the guys in his business were WW2 vets. My Uncle Hank, was at the Canal then Tarawa then finally Okinawa. You never EVER heard that man boast about the shit he saw. I'm sure though you saw much worse than going in on the first wave at Tarawa, right Sneaky? would hurt you for that if you said it to my face,you sniveling punk! You are insulting me and every other veteran that suffered disabilities and loss of pay (not to mention educational opportunities) because we served the country,while you lay back on your safe and protected ass and served nobody but yourself. Oh, I see you can dish it out but you can't take it. You can go around calling everyone a "fool", yet when someone calls you out on your weak shit you lose it. And how is it that EVERY FUCKING VIET NAM VET I KNOW IS DISABLED. What bullshit is that? I bet you're pulling down a big, fat "disability" check ON THE BACKS OF TAXPAYERS LIKE MYSELF. How's my money doing? You enjoying the fruits of my labor? Not a single VN vet I know isn't riding high on my dime. Oh, by the way, Uncle Hank and the rest of the WW2s I knew couldn't stand you VN vets. I wonder why that is? Why did the best generation this country ever produce have such contempt for your generation? Was it all the pot and heroin your generation smoked/shot-up? Or the draft dodging? You may have contempt for my generation, some of it well founded no doubt, but can you tell me why my dad's generation, the one's who really made the world safe for all of us, hate you guys so much? because we served the country,while you lay back on your safe and protected ass and served nobody but yourself. I may serve myself and my family, but I don't ask for a dime from anyone. Unlike you who pulls down a fat, tax-payer check. You didn't do any 20 year hitch. You didn't earn some pension. Let's get this straight, I didn't ask you do to crap in VN, yet you want my money. Look, I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt about your disability, but don't go around show-boating how rough you got it and how it kept you out of college. I saw kids with cerebral palsy graduate from college, so unless you're at that level of disability, or worse, I'm not buying your excuse. And thank you for your service.
