From the 6mm ARC forum, news on Biden's latest--ammo grab

[grayfox]

Courtesy of the 6mm ARC forum, from TTAG. Biden's latest grab is to grab/forbid sale of excess LC 5.56 ammo to the public.
(Reminds me of the Obummer years when Janet Napolityrant was trying to buy up all of the 9mm/40 cal handgun ammo)

Thanks for posting, it does make some sense. I don't have any first hand info myself.
So could be this was coming anyway like you say.

I was looking at it the same as you were until that article came in my email this morning.

Well..... that's what they say publicly.
But to me, the fact that they wanted to "dispel" the rumor is revealing -- maybe they do want to ban it but haven't figured out how to do it - maybe the contract is getting in their way.
Fancy that.

I very nearly hit "buy now" on a lot of loosely packed M855 SS 109 and I don' t even have a 5.56 / .223!

I had to get hold of myself. This has no doubt, already caused another minor panic buying moment.

Contracts can be pesky documents. Just like that silly Constitution.
