NEW YORK – The U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s removal of about half of the Border Patrol’s supply of M4 carbine weapons underscores worries the Obama administration is disarming agents ahead of the president’s planned executive order granting amnesty to illegal aliens, according to a congressman.

 
Customs officials claim a large number of M4s were being taken from Border Patrol agents because the weapons were found to be unserviceable and posed safety concerns.

Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, doesn’t buy the claim.

“There’s no more reliable weapon in the world,” he laughed.

“Any agency like the Department of Homeland Security that has bought millions of rounds of ammunition over the past few years could certainly afford to replace with new serviceable M4s all the weapons they are [taking] for testing,” King said.

“This sounds to me like a ruse to start to take the weapons out of the hands of the Border Patrol,” he said.

The congressman said that if there were legitimate concerns about the safety and serviceability of the M4s, “I would know about it by now.”

“As far as I know, there’s nothing out there about the operability of the M4,” he said.

King explained that the M4, the M16 and the AR15 have identical action, and the parts are interchangeable.”

Further, he argued, the M4 is the most popular high-powered rifle in the country among professional shooters and target shooters.

“If there were any problem with them as far as safety was concerned it would be all over the Internet,” he said. “And it’s the exact opposite; the weapon is so reliable.”
