Hiding in Honduras. I'm a desperate man.
How extensive is the US import ban on Norc M-14's? Does it prohibit bringing them into the country for personal use only with no intent to sell, i.e. would it prevent me from bringing one south for competition purposes, or would it be OK to bring one across provided that I didn't sell it?
 
Hey Rob,
No go. I have 2 buddies (Madness, and Mobile1) that have attempted to inquire about form 6ing them. They refuse to allow them to enter.
 
No you can't. I know a guy who is in Canadian Olympic team. He told me the Chinese Olympic team have to use Euro guns because they can't bring Norks to US.
 
and from what i now understand..... shipping norinco parts to the u.s. is a NOGO as well. mind you, how they would know a part is norinco... is beyond me. :rolleyes: silly laws .....
 
NEWS FLASH FOR ME... what are the details of this?
You got a link I can read, I thought it was merely protectionism of American gun manufactures.
 
Bush banned the importation, for two years, of Norinco products to punish the Red Chinese, supposedly for supplying materials to Iran's missile program, back in '94.
 
Hi

Technically (and yes this is nit picking) the Norinco's are banned under an executive order. Laws can be repealed, executive orders rarely are. The order is specific to "military" weapons like the 1911, M-14, and AK-47. We still get Norinco shotguns down here.

Hi

I believe we still have Executive Orders running around in force from WWI. I would not count on it going away any time soon. There just isn't anything that's going to make it happen.

So how they just love punching Norinco.

Studying all the Norinco case you will find US lays bans on top of bans....

Hi

The category of regulation that bans the Norinco's is known as an Executive Order. They are an instruction from the President to the bureaucrats to do something. They are not passed as a law.

The *tradition* of Executive Orders is that succeeding Presidents do not overturn them. Some of them have been going on for a very long time. Without being extended they would expire when the President leaves office. What one President orders, another President can equally well reverse.

There are a number of agreements and deals that keep various military arms out of the US market. The number of them has been going up, rather than down.

I certainly would like that all to change. I can hope that will all change. Realistically, it's certainly not changing any time in the next 10 or 20 years.
