A probing attack, comrades. This is War. Califoreignia is behind enemy lines, suspect anything coming from there. Good pushback on CMP, but conduct yourself accordingly. ATF is on the move nationwide to implement controls to curtail the supply / distribution lines.
I'm not a member of the CMP so I'm not particularly interested in who or what caused this annoying screw-up, but what really fascinates me is why those idiots haven't bailed out of gun-hating Communist Kalifornia years ago for more gun-friendly accommodations. It's not exactly as if the handwriting hasn't been all over the wall in bold caps for decades.
That they haven't reminds me of the equally dumb Amateur Trap Association (ATA) leadership's reverse idiocy when it abandoned historically gun-friendly Vandalia, Ohio, for gun-hating Illinois -- specifically the burg of Sparta, to which the Illinois Department of Natural Resources lured them with a big new shooting facility for the Grand American. Now, thanks to gun-hating Gov. J.B. Pritzker and promises of huge revenues that never materialized, the ATA will probably pull up stakes and head for Missouri.
Granted, moving an entire organization can be pricey, but if you use your head and apply a little common sense you probably only need to do it once.
The CMP is not located in CA, which makes this screw up even more mysterious. Locations are Camp Perry, OH and Anniston, AL. They do have a State Director in each of the states.

Mark Johnson, the Director of Civilian Marksmanship and Chief Operating Officer, has announced his retirement, effective May 22, 2023. Mr. Johnson intends to open a small gun shop which will allow him to spend more time with his wife and children. In his 25 years at CMP, Mark was responsible for the opening of the Talladega Marksmanship Park, creating new ways to sell M1 Garands, acquiring M1911 Pistols from the Army for qualified individuals to purchase, and helping grow CMP to what it is today. Mark wishes the Board of Directors and CMP staff farewell, all the best and a successful future for the corporation.
Greg Raines has been appointed the acting Chief Operation Officer.

I would love to disagree, but can't.
At the very least it’s a good litmus test as to how strong the group believes in the 2nd Amendment and is willing to be complicit tyranny. Grade: F!
That's exactly it! Why would CMP bend over for a California bill that's not even law!!! This, they need to explain!
Hoping somehow this was a mistake in releasing a proposal base don possible future requirements and nothing more. Otherwise this gets scary fast.
I totally agree. They need to explain what happened ASAP!
