Thread: Potential Ban/Brady Bill part deux?

Took the grandson out shooting again (second day he has owned a .22 lr) and decided to go by walmart and get a couple boxes of 22 shells. I just thought there was a run on NATO rounds...nope, not a .22 shell in the place. Thank goodness I was prepared or the little fellow would have been disappointed.

Use your imagination a bit on the BATF proposal I posted earlier.

The calibers that come to mind first are .223 (5.56x49), 308 (7.62X51), 9MM (9X19), 7.62X39, 5.45X39. Then they'll reach out and touch every other obsolete ex military caliber that was ever used anywhere on the planet.

I still shoot some NORMA ammo in my 6.5X55. It's imported. 7.62X54, 30-06, 30 M1 Carbine, 8X57, 7X57, 6.5Jap, 7.7Jap, 7.5SWISS, 6.5 Carcano are a few that come to mind that are still fairly popular calibers here in the US. There are several ammo companies in Russia, and Eastern Europe that are making quality ammo at much lower prices than the BIG companies here in the US.

The BATF ruling, if enforced, would dry up everything but commercially manufactured stuff here in the US and shut off any importation of surplus or commercially made ammo.

The way I see it is a "back door" way to get at our guns.
