As you may know, in 2009 the Administration approved the purchase of some 100,000 American-made M1 Garand and M1 Carbine rifles from South Korea which had been used during the Korean War. This decision however was later reversed after the State Department stated concern that the guns could fall into the wrong hands and potentially be exploited by individuals seeking firearms for illicit purposes.
I have since contacted the State Department and voiced my concern with their decision. I believe that Second Amendment rights and freedoms of law-abiding citizens should not be infringed upon. Sportsmen, hunters, gun enthusiasts and citizens have a right to own guns for these legitimate purposes. The ability of decent, hard-working Americans to own a gun, whether for sport or protection is clearly defined in the Constitution and must not be compromised.
Typical politician. Haven't heard back from Sen Isakson, but I'm pretty sure it'll be more of the same.
