Sen. McCain introduces legislation to destroy surplus 1911s

[pudly]

Decorum (and the hammer) prevent me from keeping what I originally wrote about this man.

Sen. John McCain has introduced language into the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 to destroy surplus/collectable 1911s rather than sell them via the CMP.

SEC. 331. REPURPOSING AND REUSE OF SURPLUS MILITARY FIREARMS.

(a) Army Transfers.—
(1) REQUIRED TRANSFER.—Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, and subject to paragraphs (3) and (4), the Secretary of the Army shall transfer to Rock Island Arsenal all excess firearms, related spare parts and components, small arms ammunition, and ammunition components currently stored at Defense Distribution Depot, Anniston, Alabama, that are no longer actively issued for military service.
(2) REPURPOSING AND REUSE.—The items specified for transfer under paragraph (1) shall be melted and repurposed for military use as determined by the Secretary of the Army, including—
(A) the re-forging of new firearms or their components; and
(B) force protection barriers and security bollards.

Looks like the old hero got caned in the head too many times as a POW. What a disgrace.

I have never ever thought him worthy of office.

 

[BogWalker]

Screw you John McCain. Those guns were paid for by the American people and they belong to them.

Despite all of his flaws I have always tried to defend him because of his time as a pow. I'm done now.

All the respect I had for him over his time as a POW was gone some time ago.

 

[d.kaufman]

Seen an article earlier where he basically blamed Obummer for the Orlando shootings, thought wow! Give him kudos. Now this! Screw McCain! Liberal in a rino costume

Call me a skeptic but the majority of the time, I like to do my own research before I rush to judgement on people. What threw a flag for me here was that this story contains what appears to be a hot link which goes no where.

But Senator John McCain had other ideas, as now he's introduced legislation in with the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 that will have the 1911's destroyed and recycled into components or different firearms.

I Googled the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 and found this page :

Maybe I am searching in the wrong place but the only sec. 331 I could find is this:

Section 331—Modification of Annual Department of Defense

This section would modify subsection (a) and (b) of section 2925

date of January 31, 2021, the ‘‘Annual Report Related to Installa-
tions Energy Management’’ report and the ‘‘Annual Report Related

section 1080 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal

I am not defending McCain but would like to see the actual text the article is reporting on.

I'm with you MuttX7. I want to do my own research on this one.

Feel free to do your own research, but you are looking in the wrong place. You are checking the House version of the bill. Here is the Senate version:

You gave kudos for blaming Obama for the Orlando shooting? In what universe does that make sense? Obama is as much to blame for this as the guns are. So if Obama is to blame, let's impeach him, and then we can ban all guns.

Kut (points out the incredibly BAD logic)

Guess he finally fell off the fence he was walking on.

Thanks for the link. I admitted that I may have been searching in the wrong place but that is the version that came up when I Googled it. Shame the author of the article cited the bill but provided no working link.

Who was investigating the Orlando Murderer? Who is in charge of that agency ?

 

[cobber]

The Committee on Armed Services has their own web page? What will they think of next?

McCain is such a maverick.
