That's a good point, you would think that there is a lot of opportunity right now. I wonder if there is some regulatory hurdles keeping new manufacturers from opening up business or something. It is painful seeing the prices right now, a dollar a round for .223 is an insult, and that's the cheaper option. Can't find .38 special so I over pay for gourmet .357, it's nuts.
I am also wondering if the feds are buying huge lots to create the artificial scarcity again. Remember when the social security administration bought like 200 million rounds of .357?
Yeah during obummer some brand of feds bought like 1.4 billion rounds and said it was for normal training. I think anytime the feds think that there is a danger of insurrection (like when they blatantly perform a coup and turn us into a banana republic for instance...) they'll find ways to monkey with the price.
Underhanded pricks, and we just shrugged and let it go down the memory hole again. I'm not gonna say I agree with suicide bombers, but I get it...InMinecraft
in minecraft, I agree.
> Manufacturers of ammunition must obtain a license under the GCA for each site at which manufacture will occur; Manufacturers must obtain a license under the federal explosives laws for each manufacturing site and comply with the storage, record keeping and transfer requirements of the law; Manufacturers must register with the Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls; Manufacturers must pay excise tax on their sales or use of ammunition; Manufacturers of ammunition who import smokeless powder, primers or other components of ammunition must register with ATF as an importer and comply with the permanent import provisions of the AECA; importation of ammunition (including components) is also subject to the requirements of the GCA; Manufacturers of ammunition who manufacture or acquire threshold quantities of COI must complete a risk assessment with the Department of Homeland Security and may be subject to further requirements depending on their level of risk. State law requirements should also be considered by anyone intending on manufacturing ammunition, as licensing and storage requirements may apply. Questions about federal and state requirements should be addressed with qualified counsel.
Seems like there is a lot of opportune grey area for the feds to exploit and make the process as difficult as they like. Thanks for the link
