With the holiday season upon us, and the end of the year fast approaching, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 3326—the Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 2010. 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. Continued at link
Poster Comment: Having been fooled too many times in the past I don't entirely trust the sincerity of the NRA,but I decided to post this anyway.

Think I'll go to the range again this weekend. Last week I met the firearms instructor for my city's police dept. there. He was there with his grandson. He had some very nice gear and invited me to fire all I wanted. I declined at first but he said, "Never turn down the chance to fire another man's ammo". LOL! He pulled out some AK's, some AR's, an SKS, an M1, and several side arms. I had this with me http://www.kel-tec-cnc.com/su16d.htm and he wanted to fire it. After he fired it he said he HAD to have one. A very nice guy. Very pro 2nd amendment.
A M-1 as in "Garand"? Be still my beating heart! Those things were mass-issue target rifles. I love em,love em,love em! I'd take one in a heartbeat over ANY issue battle rifle of today.
Be still my beating heart! Those things were mass-issue target rifles. I love em,love em,love em! I'd take one in a heartbeat over ANY issue battle rifle of today. Over a M-1A? Over a PTR-91? Over a Vector Arm RPK-74? I'm of the opinion that all those rifles above are far superior to the Garand.
ABSOLUTELY! By the time you get up close enough to hit me with those play toys,I will have been shooting pieces off of you for the last 400 yards. BIG pieces that a 30/06 will take off.
What a crock sneaky. That termite gun is 50+ years, at best. Archaic is the best term for that club. 8 rounds. What's up with that?
It only takes ONE well-placed round, numbnuts.
Right, sure, whatever. I see you've either been hitting the sauce too much today or have been playing too much Call of Duty. Iblowboys, why don't you leave this conversation to men?
Hell, we all suspected you're a pedophile, numbnuts.
Sorry, you're the one with the name "Iblowboys".
It's all yours, pedophile. What a fookin moron you are.
Wow, you're clueless. All of us here find you disgusting. You're the one boasting about blowing things pal. You own it. It's yours.
I'm not your pal, pedophile.
