Champ Signs NRA-Backed Bill Expanding Military-to-Civilian Gun Sales

2015-12-01

[Breitbart] On November 25, President Obama signed the NRA-backed National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) containing provisions to protect lead ammo, expand military-to-civilian gun sales, and give local commanders the ability to allow base personnel to be armed.

The latter provision came in response to the July 16 attack on defenseless military personnel in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

The provision expanding military-to-civilian gun sales means the Army's "excess M1911A1 pistols" can now be sold to civilians via the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP). That program was long known as being a way for civilians to get the classic M1 Garand military rifle, and will now be a way to get the equally classic and historical .45 auto.

Expanding military-to-civilian sales also saves tax dollars in that it currently costs "approximately $200,000 a year" for the Army to store the handguns "in a warehouse."

#10 More MSM-Net indicia that the Feds know that Islamist Jihad-Terror will be coming to an Amerika already engaged in POTUS Obama, Globalist-led Anti-US, Pro-OWG unilateral or strategic self-retreat.

The more Anarchies-n-Chaoses, THE BETTER FOR US-LED ANTI-US OWG-NWO + US-GLOBAL MARXIST-SOCIALIST ORDER.

OBAMA = PUTTING AMERIKA ON THE PATH. Whatever his Admin fails to achieve, his poten simialrly Anti-US OWG Globalist POTUS Successor(s) will do.

* IIRC DAILY BEAT, HUFFPO > US ELECTIONS: PREPARE TO BE BLIND-SIDED IN 2016.

Prolly safe to say thru at least Year 2025???

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > BREAKING DEFENSE = THE US IS "STEADILY RETREATING" IN SOUTH CHINA SEA DISPUTE.

WHITE HOUSE = POTUS OBAMA ADMIN sending the message that China's new-n-improved artificial or man-made islands in the SCS are SSSSHHHH ....CCCCC
DE FACTO = PCORRECTLY-DENIABLY US-RECOGNIZED CHINESE NATIONAL OR SOVERIGN TERRITORY.

* RELATED SPUTNIK NEWS = ... ...
> IS THE US "STEADILY RETREATING IN SOUTH CHINA SEA DUST-UP WID BEIJING?
> CHINESE POWER PLAY IN DJIBOUTI: FIRST STEP TO GREAT NAVAL POWER STATUS?

Not good news this Wed AM [again] for Okinawa Archipelago [ECS], Taiwan, SCS, + Guam-CNMI-WESTPAC = Guam's Camel Rock, espec e.g. since Beijing has argued that Mainland China's UW Continental Shelf extends to both Japan, Taiwan, + Guam-CNMI.

#9 While waitin' for Russians to step on
Your tactical nuclear weapon,
A stock of antacid
Will help you stay placid
When Sauerkraut cans are your preppin'.

"Fear not! Just a nuclear rocket...

"Well, you isn't get laid
Cause I ain't got a big enough socket."

#4 Most presidents, if the veto vote is there and they don't agree with the bill just don't sign it. It becomes law in 30 days anyway and is more of a stand of principle.

Of course Obumble has no principles and can't be seen as being overruled so he signs it.

Fucking coward.

#3 I believe he signed it because the votes were there to override his veto.

#2 Maybe they had to pass the bill before he read it?

#1 good to see this (and other related legislative acts) happen. It seems somebody must have pulled their collective thumb out of their collective ass in congress.

Wonder how the hell they got the Won to sign it, though.
