Renewed threat to ammo security.

[Alexx1401]

I was not aware that a similar thread exists.
However, Redundancy might not be a bad idea in this case.
Things are not well for this country right now.

The problem here is the people who learned from the past already keep plenty of ammo. The ones who refused to learn from the last several panic shortages will again wait until there is no ammo. Then they will take to the net to complain and blame everyone for greed. You already see it starting with some calling the retailers crooks. The same cycle just repeats again and again with the same people proving they can not be reached.

Though I'm not thrilled about foreign ownership of anything here in the U.S., keep in mind that the actual manufacturing facilities are still right here and will likely remain in production.

Czechia is as good as it gets in the EU. I also don't see a billionaire buying ammo companies to shut them down unless to push sales to another ammo company he owns.

Interesting look at our ammo supply.

Why America Is Out of Ammunition

Why can't the Pentagon get weapons firms to ramp up production? A new report shows the military doesn't track who owns its contractors, and has just two people looking at mergers in the defense base.

Yet this time, the world is a very different place.
On the brink of WWIII or Civil War.

Uh-Ha.
Why shucks.
I feel so much better now.

Do you realize the state of the Union right now?

 

[Xmark1]

Too much rain.

Which Union

How is it different from FN Herstal being given the contracts for M4 carbine productions over Colt?

Or SIG Sauer....

Or even Glock having a plant in Smyrna, Georgia?

To be honest... "free market".

Would it be better if we went to the old European method of State owned armories/arsenals producing only for the government/military and not selling to civilians at all?

It's always been pretty simple, don't shoot up all of your ammo.

Brilliant repartee. Simply brilliant.

From the article:

But the principle remains. Ultimate control of U.S. resources must belong only to those who have Americans' interests foremost in mind.

BUT, But, but.......now a days.........
The LEFT frequently describes the attitude as......



Well, it use to be that......
Ordinarily......
Americans would be against Terrorism/Terrorist attacks on innocent civilians.

BUT, But, but.....look at what's happening on the streets of America today.

Rrrrrright......the protests FOR Hamas?



LOL.....real Americans (or would-be Terrorist)?

Aloha, Mark

PS.....Yeah.....FREEDOM OF SPEECH and all that. But, disagree with the crowd and you're likely to get injured. Really tolerant.....huh?

Some people like to play both sides of the coin when it comes to a free market; the benefits /cons of a capitalist economy... When it benefits them directly they proclaim how great it works, when it does not benefit them directly they take a different approach.

It's always been pretty simple, don't shoot up all of your ammo.

And replace what you do shoot.

 

[Diamondback]

And replace what you do shoot.

At better than a 1:1 ratio. Shoot one buy two--three or four if on sale.

 

[Caveman Jim]

Hopefully we can still get components, I've been stocking up on primers and powder the last six months and it's been pretty good so far.
I'm going to be loading all that I have in stock right now, gonna take a while because I don't believe that I'm not gonna be able to do this very much longer.

In the old days 70% would be considered a monopoly and the government would block the sale. It's a brave new world now.

If it was a U.S company sure. Foreign? Meh.

AB doesn't get profits from corona/modelo sold in the U.S because the government didn't want them to have a monopoly on beer, but didn't impact them from owning modele and making profits from every country outside of the U.S.

They are probably more pro-American than the previous owners.

 

[CamoDeafie]

Pro-liberty and freedom moreso than the American government.

Edit for those who will bring up "but they require licenses and such for firearms ownership!!" Bear in mind that they are a member of the European Union and as such; some things were necessary but the licenses are shall issue..

Yah, IIRC Czech Republic is the closest to RKBA of any country after the US. Similar to our 2A, the RKBA is in their constitution.
