They claimed its for training purposes. 1.6 billion bullets would last 20 years in the Iraq War. They've ordered a number of tanks and armored vehicles. They've admitted they're going to arm the Social Security offices. What does that tell you? The Dept Of Homeland Security is nothing but an American Gestapo.
Well, I decided to call my friend ... My friend the gun nut (the good gun nut) pretty much says they have choked off a lot of it out of the market. I would guess it is to prevent a run on those items while legislation is being considered. When the laws are in place, and the new gun ownership landscape is stable it should come to the market. Till then you cant even make em. That's his assessment. They seem to have choked off brass, bullets, primer, smokeless powder, gun powder everything.
He also says though there are co2 cartridge guns and there has been a run on those - these are non gun nuts buying them for protection I'd think.
In a way I dont think you need a gun for protection, and if you do, 5-6 shot capacity Co2 works just well enough. I guess the govt has choked it off. Lets see if we see a bunch of mass shootings with home made ammo now.
Cool.
