Yeah, the government still tolerates this...now.
Some weeks ago, a 18 years old boys bought an hunting gun (ie, bolt action, sale not restricted) and killed two immigrated people. So, in a hurry and to "calm" the population "shocked" (does I look shocked ?) by this (quote) violent racist crime, they voted in emergency a law to forbid the sale of such weapons (with the usual laius : "guns are bad, gun=violence, ect, ect...but you know the song with Feinstein, Kennedy & Hila-c-ry Clinton)
I have a M1 in my closet and it is always with great pleasure I handle it. It means a lot for me. This one is not "demilitarized" (Can I say it is a blasphem ?)
Yes, I am a friend of the United States and I am proud of claiming this fact. No matter how, no matter when, no matter where, I will be where.
I wanted to be a US soldier. Finished as a Belgian soldier but who know ? May be a day. After all, I am still young.
A good old Ma Deuce to keep foes at distance....Don't threat on my freedom you commie ! LOL.
Or a .30...my father always told me it was a superb machine gun.
