Knew it was coming sooner or later ammo control

[foxeye]

Sen Bauchus has a bill in the works to control all components of reloading as well as commercially available ammo. This is according to the Washington Post.

Shall not infringe!

Is it really that difficult for these idiots to understand?

 

[sipowicz]

Yes, because as we all know, criminals are big into reloading.

Helps the bottom line.

if you can't control the guns then control the ammo ...

 

[Engineer1911]

if you can't control the guns then control the ammo ...

CORRECTION:

If you can't control criminals, control law-abiding citizens. If the laws don't work or aren't enforced, pass more restrictive laws that further infringe on the civil (gun) rights of law-abiding citizens.

If you still can't get your political way, then seek common sense legal solutuions to impossibly difficult problems requiring unacceptable, politically incorrect decisions -- pass laws that make gun owners criminals because they own "unregistered guns" and don't want to register their firearms because of history's lessons.

I feel as though if I were to commit a crime I would have much more confidence knowing I loaded my own ammo.

In my home state of New York, under current law, all in-state ammo purchases will require a NICS check as of Jan. 15, 2014.

And since it will cost as much for a check to buy 1 box as 1000, people will start buying in large quanitys. This will of course alarm the political class who will fear wild eyed knuckle dragging gun nuts are stocking up to revolt. And then naturaly they will want to pass laws restricting the amount of ammo you can buy at one time.

Face it. They just don't feel safe with us being armed. It scares them not being totaly in control of the serfs. (us) If we'd just shut up do as we're told we'd be so much better off. And no doubt happier. They may not be able to forbid us arms. (yet) But they can make it as difficult as possible.

Is there anything paticular out? I googled it but so much **** comes up, was lazy.

Since when does a NICS check cost anybody anything?? It's a phone call, usually only a few minutes. No fee.

There is a recent thread on this. It cost the FFL or dealer $5.00 (here in FL, FDLE) the FFL gets a separate bill from the FEDS for every phone call. So yes it costs. Many folks go to buy a gun and get denied. They still have to pay the $5 fee

You have a link to this????

 

[rwsmith]

It's been obvious

It's been obvious for some time that the gun grabbers have many ways to restrict the owning and shooting of firearms and that they will use them because every little bit of ground they gain will make it harder or more expensive for us to maintain our shooting activities. This is what they call 'sensible gun controls'. There ain't no such thing.

If Obama doesn't get a gun control bill he is going to start issuing executive orders.

Bacus is from MT but is a Big Liberal. How he wins elections is beyond me?
He has to go this time!

Would be probably the first time in their life that they are actually working

IF this is true, it just re-enforces my belief that we may have won A battle, but the war is still in doubt.
I know many of the posters realize this but there are some that must think the war has been won. I'm affraid that we will need to be very on guard from now on as ANY incident, will be a ruse to come back to all the previous issues. Words from both Reid and Obama confirm this.
In addition, something along these lines with ammo surely will only make the current ammo shortage continue or even get worst.

Does anyone expect this bill to do any better than the background check bill? Do any of the Democrat Senators up for re election next year think that their constituents are going to like them voting for a bill like this?
Does anyone think that the House will take up a bill like this, even if it passes the Senate?
Ammunition control is a restriction on the Second Amendment just as control of firearms is.
