Fifty House Republicans urge White House against implementing ammo ban

[Ringtone]

So what do you make of this, folks? Bear in mind that a White House official said the report was "way off" but didn't say how it was off. I smell fish when this administration beats around the bush.

Dozens of House Republicans have reached out collectively to the White House to express concerns about a recent report that the Biden administration is considering a specific ammunition ban, which an official has already denied.​

The Biden administration informed Winchester Ammunition that “the government is considering restricting the manufacturing and commercial sale of legal ammunition produced at the Lake City, Mo., facility,” a spokesman from the National Shooting Sports Foundation told the Washington Examiner last week. A White House official, however, said the report was "way off."​

​

Winchester is allowed to sell surplus ammunition on the civilian market after meeting the military’s needs, but Mark Oliva, the NSSF spokesman, warned that changing the policy would “significantly reduce the availability of ammunition in the marketplace and put the nation’s warfighting readiness at risk. Both NSSF and Winchester strongly oppose this action.”​

​

Roughly 50 House Republicans signed a letter addressed to President Joe Biden on Monday urging against such a proposal, which would jeopardize approximately 400-500 jobs.​

​

"Having the ability to produce this product for commercial sale allows the operating contractor to maintain capacity and keep the facility at a high state of readiness, at no cost to the government. This ensures the Army is ready to ramp up production in the event of a national emergency," they wrote. "Not only will this decision have significant negative consequences for the workforce at the facility, but it will compromise Army readiness by further delaying the deployment of the Army’s Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW)."​

​

The Republicans also claimed the ban would effectively amount to a "rifle ban."​

I've read conflicting reports. Some sources say the M855 5.56 ban is real while others claim it to be false. Banning any kind of ammunition is pointless because avid reloaders will make their own rounds, be they for hunting or self-defense. That being said, I can't see how a ban on a specific ammunition type would amount to a rifle ban. Many different companies manufacture 5.56 and .223. If Lake City can no longer sell to the public then the public will purchase ammo elsewhere.

Frankly, I am sick and tired of sensationalist "journalism" on both sides. Pull up ammoseek.com and you will find at least thirty manufacturer's/sellers of 5.56mm ammunition who aren't Lake City. Apparently the idiots who wrote this article think ALL 5.56mm ammo comes from one manufacturer. Sigh.

Yes, I've read the mixed reports as well and noted the apparently errant "single-source" belief. However, the Biden Administration didn't exactly give a straightforward answer either. The games elitists play. . . .

Only for members of “well regulated militias”. There hasn’t been such a thing since the nation turned to National Guard to protect states.

 

[kyzr]

If the US won't sell ammo, other countries will, duh.

 

[HandleTheTruth]

This is just cons getting the homosexuals all hot and bothered.

 

[Ringtone]

Nonsense. The individual right to keep and bear arms ontologically precedes the existence of the militia and the constitutional republic of the United States itself, and is the mechanism that enforces the collective right of the militias of the several states.

 

[1srelluc]

I've read the same breathless reports on other boards and have found them wanting as far as any real substance goes.

That said it sounds like something the dems would attempt so it's good to be vigilant just in case.

 

[Rogue AI]

How does this fit in with the military changing to a new caliber for it's main combat rifle?

In terms of the government contract, I can see surplusing rounds now as the new weapons are integrated. Although that should not effect availability of ammo for citizens for any lawfully purchased firearms.

 

[Resnic]

Better top off incase things go sideways. Even if they cut ammo production to civilians there will be a rush on it and that shit will dry up faster than pelosi's cootch.

If you want a site to buy from that's dependable, decent prices, usually has stock when most dont and ships well send me a PM and I'll tell you where I buy from.

 

[pknopp]

A military supplier going out of business? I can back that part but IMO anything the military can get, so should the people be able to.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Well Biden denied it's happening. Kinda weird if he was going to do it.

You mean he would be lying about it. Not weird at all. Par for the course.

Ignorant commies like you should not speak on topics you know nothing about.

That stupid argument has been reviewed and deemed nonsense.

.

The Supreme Court has ruled several times in this regard, and it always turns out the same way.
The government cannot tax or ban an item in attempts to hinder or prohibit the free exercise of a Constitutionally Protected Right.

[BlackSand]

Banning any kind of ammunition is pointless because avid reloaders will make their own rounds, be they for hunting or self-defense.

.

So true ... Once you own the Shooter's Bible for Handloading, supplies you can buy easy enough, and a RCBS loader ...
The only limit is the time you want to spend loading/reloading rounds.

I load rounds and sell them to other people sometimes, because they want the cartridge loaded a specific way with specific items.
It's more important to figure out safe ways to store the power and supplies.

You can't use terms like ontological, or words like "constitutional" when discussing things with leftist posting bots. It fucks up their algorithms and they have to be reprogrammed.

These drones can not process the concept that they're even "alive", because they have no soul. They're vacuous NPC's. They can not consider the concept of "evil", or logically conclude that when wicked despots gain absolute power over unarmed populations they consistently exterminate people in numbers that are only limited by the resources involved.

For instance the socialist germans between 1939 and 1945 industrially murdered 12 million people. The russian leftists wiped out as many as 50 million over the course of 30 years although reliable data cannot confirm actual numbers. At a minimum the number was around 20 million people, but it was not the "industry" that the socialist german government created. The bolsheviks used forced famines, and shipped tens of millions of people into desolate frozen forests where they were worked to death, cannibalized, died of exposure or otherwise lost their lives due to not being able to simply work for a living and prosper as individuals.

Then there is the horror of leftist dogma in china. The deaths aren't even calculable. Records aren't available but reliable data estimates at least 50 million dead because of the fact that an unarmed population was ruled by despotic collectivist sociopaths.

These are just 3 of the most extreme examples of what leftist despots do when governing unarmed populations. There are dozens more examples such as Laos, which lost 25% of it's population in the 1970's because of communist sociopaths. The situation was so horrific vietnamese communist troops had to liberate the country from the Khmer Rouge.

None of this information will penetrate the incredibly dense deliberate ignorance in the skull of parasites like Dragonlady , They're not rational, thinking, human beings. They're posting bots that regurgitate insipid leftist drivel.
