The last time the importation tide came in, it was when Ronald Reagan was elected. Our gun ban friends in Congress had managed to keep old military surplus rifles out of the country since the 1968 Gun Ban act. Since President Reagan our Congressional gun ban friends have been limiting supply, basically through the ITAR, and old guns outside of the US are only worth their weight in scrap metal, as we are the biggest, and perhaps only, country whose citizens have a right to firearms.

It will take a confluence of events before the Executive Branch is as gun friendly as it was under President Reagan. Till then, the tide is out.
