It's not happening because the federal government has a problem with re-importing guns that:

a) It had made in the US for the US military
b) It sells to certain civilians for below-market prices via the Civilian Marksmanship Program
c) It has ALREADY sold on the open civilian market after World War Two and Korea
d) Are currently legally owned by millions of people
e) When newly-manufactured to the identical specifications as these, are legally bought and sold.
f) Have identical key features as other legally bought and sold rifles.



If you thinks it makes sense to destroy these guns, or have them sold by international arms marketeers to some 3rd-world shithole with a history of ethnic cleansing and genocide, while making new, functionally-equivalent ones to replace them, then that's you're prerogative.
