As terrible as it is at least it's just US surplus for now, when I first read this I started making plans to go buy a Mosin Nagant carbine and SKS on the way home from work if they were affected.
As i mentioned that is the wording i have read. Its different from site to site. Some say imports on US military surplus guns, other sites say imports on military surplus guns. Will have to wait and see but i wouldnt panic completely yet....though if you dont have a mosin or a sks id still go out and get them
AGAIN that is only what I myself read. Heres a decent summary of the two EO's. Note its fox news but theres other places (huffington post being one) that mention the World War 2 era weapons only too.

As for the NFA trust...TTAG is reporting the end is near (more or less)
http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/20...ign-off-to-every-person-listed-on-gun-trusts/
Basically EVERY single person on the trust has to get a CLEO signoff. Which for most people is the only issue they go the trust route. It seems MOST CLEO's wont sign off AT ALL on the class 3 items. Hence why trusts are so popular. Making the CLEO required for ALL persons is absurd and basically means youll get instant approval from the atf when you submit your forms since there wont be anyone else who can even submit a form.
If both become reality i forsee them both ending up before the supreme court. The import ban simply cause its banning guns in common usage from being imported and also guns that (lets face it) are not used in crimes but for history. The NFA because you have now prevent someone who can legally possess a item from being able to it. You make the CLEO the judge on who can and cant get them even if that persons state allows them and they pass background checks.
And RIP Cali. Here soon you wont even be able to have any sort of rifle.
o another note! Im home again! And home waiting for me were some nice things!
First up we stopped at my favorite gun store on the way home. Sitting there just happened to be a Ruger MKIII 22/45 with threaded barrel. The exact model ive been looking for. So she came home with me My dad was kicking the tire on a CZ 455 (and he has been for awhile now) so i finally gave him the nudge to buy it. Only a pic of the 22/45 with my sprectre II on it.
Then i got a preorder from promag. A stock for mosin's. Ill be curious to try it out. The detachable magazine (sorry cali!) is a neat feature. It feels like a nicely made piece so be fun to shoot. THough i do have to get another mosin to put it in. THinking a type53 or m44 for the fireball effect.
And lastly....the CMP finally delivered! Two HRA Service grade M1 Garands! Im a bit (completely) new to garands but they both seem nice. The top one seems the more beat up. THe front portion is loose (not the hand guard part but infront of that) and the metal is more of a light gray (can tell in the pics a bit). Also the stock is more beat up and theres a white P (looks painted on) on the bottom by the trigger guard. GOing to make this one my shooter. The bottom one is overall in nice shape! The stock has some dings but nothing major. The metal is all a nice dark color. Havent done anything but look at them and put them in the safe though. Going to have to change that this weekend though!
On a sad note my xds is one of the ones being recalled So off to the factory it goes tomorrow
Long post and i apologize for that but hey had lots to say/report on!
