Interesting Gun Grab History Lesson

[Lemonaid]

I liked this article about American History. History may be repeating.
This quote resonates. " As a result, the colonists would scour the earth for powder, and especially saltpeter, to replenish their stores"

Keep your guns, we'll take your powder.

Thanks for this.

Or primers.
Or bullets, like the CPSC tried to do once....

Keep your reloading stuff for sure.

When was this tried

From a Wash (Com)post article by an earlier Chm of CPSC, note the history lesson during Bamster's years.

First proposed in 1974, I also remember the lefties talking about trying it other times 80's-90's.

By Ann Brown
January 6, 2016[INDENT][(WaPo) Ann Brown was chairman of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission from 1994 to 2002.]
"When I chaired the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, I was grateful that we had authority to regulate lead in household paint. Banning the use of lead-based paint in homes has prevented brain damage in countless children over the years.

So why wouldn’t Congress allow us authority over another dangerous consumer product often made with lead? Specifically, why not bullets?

On Tuesday, President Obama unveiled a package of executive actions that he hopes will reduce gun deaths in the United States. I urge him to put one more proposal on the table: regulating ammunition. The idea is workable, and Americans could support it.
This idea isn’t new. In 1974, the CPSC’s first chairman made clear his belief that the agency could probably regulate ammunition, and a court agreed — whereupon a frightened Congress passed laws making it impossible even to try. Now is the time for the president to begin pushing to correct that mistake."[/INDENT]

I remember hearing about that. No doubt it is on the Xiden ‘wishlist’, this being the third term of Obama’s administration.

They have proposed and are pursuing banning all internet and interstate sales of ammo and a PER ROUND excise tax!
