Who knows what went on behind the scenes there but vetoes seem unusual in my understanding. I'm guessing the gun lobby got the job done.
So the real question for all of us. Is Springfield Armory still on your shit list?
For me, I'll support American made over foreign, but I'm still wanting a Sig or Dan Wesson over a SA for my next 1911, purely because of SA's betrayal.
