It has began, the assault on gun owners in America:
The Story: Feds undercut civilian supply of ammunition Via WorldNetDaily.com.
A recent government policy change has taken a bite out of the nation’s already stressed ammunition supply, leaving arms dealers scrambling to find ammo for private gun owners.
Georgia Arms is a company that for the last 15 years has been purchasing fired brass shell casings from the Department of Defense and private government surplus liquidators. The military collects the discarded casings from fired rounds, then sells them through liquidators to companies like Georgia Arms that re-manufacture the casings into ammunition for the law enforcement and civilian gun owner communities.
But earlier this month, Georgia Arms received a canceled order, informed by its supplier that the government now requires fired brass casings be mutilated, in other words, destroyed to a scrap metal state.
The policy change, handed down from the Department of Defense through the Defense Logistics Agency, cuts a supply leg out from underneath ammunition manufacturers.
I knew this was coming, I just did not know how.
Boots and Sabers Blog Weighs in:
This policy didn’t come out of the blue. The Commander in Chief is clearly sending a message to gun owners that they should be paying more for ammunition. If he can’t do it through regulatory action, he’ll do it by forcing ammunition manufacturers to spend more on production, and he’ll do it at the taxpayers’ expense.
I think it might be even a bit more sinister than that. I believe it could be an underhanded way of attempting to cripple the supply of ammunition. If we cripple or limit the supply, there will be less guns.
But that is the liberals for you. 🙄
Update: Wow! That was quick, the order has been reversed. Days of our Trailers has the details, as does the JPFO and the NRA. Nice work men. We must stay on top of this stuff, as we do have a hostile Administration in the White House, who wants to get rid of all the guns; despite what he might say. All Socialists, who are really Communists in disguise; want to take away our guns.
