If more people bitch about it, then likely it will. The big flag to
raise is the damage that it will do to the camping and surplus
clothing market. The long term effects are that historians of
tomorrow will be hampered by the decision. We still have time to get
the Demilitarization of Vehicles turned around without much of a gap.
Officially the army likes living historians. Otherwise they wouldn't
roll out the red carpet at events and even still allow real firearms
on posts for events like the one earlier this month here in Georgia
at I think McPherson.

I've recently put more of my money where my mouth is by joining and
donating money to the SAF and the ACLU as well as the EFF. The NRA
already had my money in bits....I am watching this guy closely. His
father already did enough damage to the 2nd amendment.
