Environmental Protection Agency going to ban ammunition? Best gun control yet

There has been a marked shortage of ammo that us gun owners have been dealing with for a some time. The reason  why has not been determined, but I have some ideas. There is a shortage of Ammo, as well as reloading  shell supplies for those that load their own. Clearly, if the Government cannot control and confiscate our weapons, the next step is controlling ammo.

A gun without a shell is useless. So this bit of news I found on Hot Air is no surprise.  Every day they concentrate on how to take the next step in ridding us of our freedoms. Bring it on EPA. Just in time for the November Election.

Theres more showing up slowly, hope for the distant future I think, going to be a long time thou to be readily available again so if you find it buy it or it will be gone… Primers are all back ordered, 10mm auto brass backordered for 5 months now, damn I need some of it…….

From The Wahington Examiner:

Here’s an astounding bit of government overreach:

NSSF [National Shooting Sports Foundation]  is springing into action, as the public comment period opens on EPA considering a regulation that will ban all traditional lead ammunition. This would basically end the shooting sports as we know it. Remember this is a no-win situation for us, because bullets made of materials other than lead are often considered armor piercing by law. Copper is your basic material, and copper is expensive, and has much poorer performance properties than lead.

You can read the petition in favor of banning ammunition here, and if you can  leave a public comment on it here. The EPA will be taking comments on this through October 31 to coincide nicely with the November 2 election. After health care and immigration, apparently the White House doesn’t feel it has sufficiently irked voters enough. Bringing the NRA and upset gun owners into the mix should really do wonders for Democrats at the ballot box.
