NYT pushes for ammunition restrictions on Lake City ammo
It’s interesting to see how the MSM goes about demonizing guns.
Many of us have anticipated a regulatory crackdown on ammo as a way to attack less approved firearms.
Looks like the NYT is beginning by attacking Lake City ammo: a lot of it has been used in mass shooting events:
Army Ammunition Plant Is Tied to Mass Shootings Across the U.S. - The New York Times
Lake City sells more ammo to civilians than to the Military.

Yeah, I read about half of that.... My reaction was ho-hum.
What about the steel used in guns? Maybe track that down and learn that it comes from only a couple of major steel mills? Or the lead in bullets?
I subscribe to the NYT and, unlike most here, like its coverage in general, but that article is a big nothing burger.

I too subscribe to the Times-and the Washington Post for good measure. For national and international news, you can’t beat them.
They do occasionally go off in silly directions. This is an example.

Crazies and criminals are known to use

I saw that too. Sounds to me like the first drumbeats for more control. I wonder what minuscule percentage of LC ammo is used in crime?

And [Ford and Toyota or name your candidate car maker] probably transported more mass shooters to the shooting site than other brands. So.... crickets.......
Sounds like desperation to me.

Using the same logic, all of the mass killers drove to their locations so we MUST ban gasoline!

There are those who want that. Some of the usual suspects who want to ban guns.

Can't get past the paywall. If you want to post a link that is behind a paywall, try posting the link generated by the "email this article to a friend" button and it gets around the paywall. But it will expire eventually.

Same story is on MSN, probably PMSNBC. Better get a good stack, this is an "opening salvo" in a constant attack. Joe
