May have been Slipt in uunder the defense bill. That's why we ain't hearing it till now. U know the dude don't read that stuff.
Gotta pass it so they can see what's in it.
The word may is the sticking point in all of that.
Just because they may do it, doesn't mean they will.
I wouldn't hold my breath with this administration.
They may not "remain available for transfer" that long.
The Syrian rebels may need more arms soon.
Gotta pass it so they can see what's in it.
If anyone else gets the CMP Emails the latest one was hilarious.
"We do not have any more information about 1911s. Please stop calling us. Please stop emailing us. We are overwhelmed."
Yeah, their email was good. The better examples they receive based on condition and rarity are almost certain to be released through the CMP auction site and will likely go for top dollar. The insidious thing about the CMP is it's just like crackerjacks. You never know what you're going to get when you order, but it's bound to be interesting whatever they send you. That's what keeps me going back. Not sure 1911s will do the same thing for me though. I'm more into long arms.
