Obama Administration Reverses Course, Forbids Sale of 850,000 Antique Rifles

Did you hear about this one? The Obama Whitehouse has forbidden the sell of rifles used in the Korean War, which are now considered antiques, to collectors in the US. This is a reversal of an earlier approval.

Obviously this is a capitulation to the left-wing anti-gun nuts. Or is it that Obama and his minions don't want a populace armed with military rifles. Especially later when the popcorn hits the fan as the walls of society come crumbling down when the moochers no longer receive largess taken from the producers, because the producers can no longer produce in Obama's redistribute-the-wealth society.

But you know the thing that got me more incensed was the blatant stonewalling and passing of the buck by the Obama folks. Look at what they said, or rather what they didn't say when asked to comment on the decision...

Asked why the M1s pose a threat, the State Department spokesman referred questions to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. ATF representatives said they would look into the question Monday afternoon, but on Wednesday they referred questions to the Justice Department. DOJ spokesman Dean Boyd referred questions back to the State Department...

...The White House referred questions on the issue to the Pentagon, which referred questions to the U.S. Embassy in South Korea, which deferred back to the State Department.

Doesn't it just chap you to see our government be so obvious in ignoring and refusing to answer a legitimate question about an important issue and then the only media that writes about it and calls them out on their deceit is Fox. None of the rest of the MSM even covers the issue.
