Since our present government has perfected "Lying By Omission", knowledge of the existence of the Civilian Marksmanship Program, or CMP is uncommon. The CMP has been around since 1903, and it's stated mission is, "To Promote Firearms Safety and Marksmanship Training With An Emphasis On Youth". With as Vision Of "That Every Youth In America Has The Opportunity To Participate In Firearms Safety And Marksmanship Programs" The CMP was formed to provide a supply of Government Surplus weapons, ammunition, & support to schools, & private clubs across America. But the schools have to ask for it, the CMP can't go uninvited. All you have to do is join an gun club in your area that is an affiliate of the CMP, and you can purchase M1's of various grades & prices directly through your club. The CMP also has other rifles, (I just like the M1 the best). Heres a link.

But.... The CMP can't sell what it doesn't have. The topic of "Do You Think The Government Will Ever Take Your Guns Away?" makes me laugh. They already have, (By not telling you about the CMP) Of course you'll never miss what you don't know about, and your children will miss out on early age shooting instruction. And since Obama blocked the import of over 800.000 M1 Garand's from south Korea, The CMP won't have access to them to sell to you. So, for all practical purposes they've taken them away without you even knowing it. Clever little devils aren't they? Here's a link. http://gunowners.org/m1-garands.htm
So there you have it. Modern Gun Control through "Lying By Omission", But now you know. So, look into it if you want. It really is there,
