What could possibly be the purpose of this motion other than to disarm the public? It's such a blatant violation of our rights. What on earth are they using to justify it?

[Superdave]

I think it's already been canned

From the sound of it, it seems like was more of a administrative oversight than a deliberate attack at reloaders.

OK call me fucking retarded, call me a jack ass piece of shit or what ever you want but I'm going to ask a VERY STUPID QUESTION, because quite frankly im not a man of politics AT ALL and how they work or what not. So say this thing was not lifted who(as in position exp congressman, senator ect), would you recommend to write about lifting it or not letting it happen? And What the hell would someone write? Because obviously saying "Excuse me mr. senator but someone needs to drop kick President Retard and get rid of this stupid gun law or ammo restriction ect ect or I will be pissed as fuck because it will make it hard for me to shoot and it goes against my 2nd amendment" would not go to well.

I think it's generally a lot more effective to write your Congressman since they're usually a lot closer in touch than a senator. I'm not sure what the idea is but if there's a big enough outcry against this word will somehow reach the people who are in charge of this and they MIGHT change their mind.

Although I'm being hypocritical here because I'm not politically active. I've been thinking about it but never actually gotten down to it. I might do something about it one day, though.

Awesome. I hope it's been lifted.

I typically write in and tell them I'm concerned about fiscal responsibility, mention cost efficiency, taxes, and tell them I vote with my wallet... and that I'm watching their record very closely.

This is all part of the government's plan to make it easier to declare martial law.

This isn't the conspiracy forum.

The liberal government tried something like that in Canada a few years ago... tried to sneak past a law that would only allow you X amount of powder, primers, casings, and finished rounds but luckily it was caught in time and there was a public outcry big enough to get it canned.

Don't ever put it past your government to fuck you over.

Either way if what keeps going on in the USA I can see something happening... You can only push people too far and so far they haven't gotten the hint to fuck off.

Other than that if someone does off Obama I got a nice comfortable couch up here in Canada for ya. :D

I was kinda scared for a moment. I've been trying to save up for a grand of 5.56 from a little-known online distributor. Everyone and their brother would have snagged everything up before I can scrape enough pennies out of my measly government cheddar rationing.

Well thats exactly what I was talking about when I said I have no clue about the whole political thing. If I tried to write a letter to a congressman about fiscal responsibility and taxes and such I would sound like a jack ass who's trying to use big words to sound smart. We it be safe to assume that I would be able to just copy and paste something someone else wrote to their congressman and just change names and such like that?

Like I said im not a retard in a general sense but politics are not my game at all im just really ignorant in that department.

I'm leanign towards this guys opinion from a post on that blog.

This article has almost nothing to do with legitimate threats to our gun rights. It’s really about an ammunition manufacturer desperate to preserve its taxpayer subsidized profit margin on civilian rounds made from government brass. I would be more sympathetic if .223 ammo was substantially cheaper than comparable rounds requiring the manufacture of new casings. It’s not. Unlike The Shootist, I will not pimp a for-profit corporation gorging on tax payer subsidies.

Besides, the DOD’s decision may be a threat to the viability of Georgia Arms but for the author to elevate it to the level of a Constitutional threat is misleading without some evidence to back that claim up. And I mean evidence, not assumption. He provides DOD letters describing the new policy but where is the DOD letter or official statement explaining "why" the policy changed? There could be a hundred legitimate reasons but the author apparently failed to ask so we cannot consider whether any of them ring true. Then again, why should he? Liberal conspiracy is a tonic that makes fabricated truth easier to swallow. (Of course, others find conservative conspiracy more to their liking. Different taste; same result.)

That would probably be cool. Even a simple "I'm against this bill/action and I expect you to represent me as your constituent" type deal works.

What do you expect the government to do? They buy ammunition from private sources, so obviously they don't have their own reloading facilities, and I doubt they would take reloaded ammo because of reliability factors. The brass has to go back into circulation somehow, so it is sold to government liquidators, who sell it to other private companies.

Tell me, you would have a problem with me buying a truck off www.gsaauctions.gov to use for my personal business endevours?

I just sent my congresswoman a letter.
Wait, congressWOMAN? What is this country coming to!? :mad:

[Struwwelpeter]

Call them?

What, you think talking to one of their secretaries is going to do anything?

It's time to bomb congress.
