Vermont gun importer blames White House rules for layoffs :: 06/11/2014
"MONTPELIER, Vt.-A Vermont gun importer is blaming the White House for its laying off of 41 workers because the government blocked its plan to bring nearly $30 million worth of antique, American-made military rifles home from South Korea.
The White House's refusal to allow Century International Arms, of Fairfax, to re-import the World War II-era M1 Garand rifles is an apparent result of new rules set up last summer concerning requests to ship military-grade firearms back into the United States.
"This importation was denied despite our explaining that the denial would harm the company and pointing out that there is no rational, gun-control reason to block the importation of these historic, 70-year-old firearms," the company said in a statement posted on its website Thursday."
And Century International was looking for a "go" on re-importation of these 'weapons of mass shooting' from the Obama administration? This sucks, and it's because, in large part, gun owners sat on their duff while Obama walked into the White House twice!
