Made in America: Banned in America

The Korea Times reports that the U.S. government is blocking the re-importation of a large number of old M1 Garand and carbine rifles. According to a Korean official:
“The U.S. insisted that imports of the aging rifles could cause problems such as firearm accidents. It was also worried the weapons could be smuggled to terrorists, gangs or other people with bad intentions.”
Oh, sure... it's not that you're a bunch of America-hating, gun-grabbing scum, with a hard-on for taking people's freedom away, then?

Well, considering the current U.S. government definition of 'suspected terrorist' is anyone who owns a gun, or a copy of the constitution, or a discerning mind, and flint is listed as a WMD, you may have difficulty getting them through border control (unless, of course, you take them through the southern border in the back of a Mexican truck).
