Obama will 'evaluate' bill to ban online munition sales

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday that President Obama will "evaluate" a new bill that would ban online ammunition sales in the wake of the shooting massacre in Aurora, Colo. That left 12 dead and dozens more injured.

During the daily press briefing, Mr. Earnest was asked whether Mr. Obama supports the measure, which aims to end sales of unlimited amounts of ammunition on the Internet and other mail orders. The bill also would force ammunition dealers to report large sales of bullets and other munitions to law enforcement authorities

What about the poor who can’t drive to the ammo store?

Anyone care to recommend a dependable online source for good quality 5.56 ammo. I could use another 2K rounds.

These guys ship the same day if ordered early. I have purchased 3 or 4 times from them. Excellent service:

Any legislator who votes for anti-2A bills should lose all armed security.

Would love to see Republicans push a bill like that!

Yep. Seems that many who didn’t already fire much for sport or duty (e.g., combat training service) are going crazy.

From the article:
“We’ve also learned that the Department has an open bid for a stockpile of rifle ammo. Listed on the federal business opportunities network, they’re looking for up to 175 million rounds of .223 caliber ammo to be exact. The .223 is almost exactly the same round used by NATO forces, the 5.56 x 45mm.”

Might try this one for ammo, if they have anything that you like.

As for the “crazy,” it’ll blow over. I remember the Sayco (or Saico or whatever) yo-yo craze way back when.

I prefer handloads for old technology firearms and haven’t used it (old, like myself). Looks useful, though.

Thanks to all.

I have accumulated a nice stock over the last few years, but you can never have enough. ;>)

Such bills have no chance of passing--not even compromises.

If Obama decides he can gain a few votes by limiting ammunition purchases he will just issue an executive order and worry about the lawsuits later.

The democrats in congress, along with some RINOs, have been complicit in working with Obama to emasculate congress and allowing him to bypass them whenever he feels the desire.

So now, there are really no more checks and balances. We have three branches of government on paper only. The tyrant does what he wants, and no one in a position of power, responsibility or influence seems to have the guts to challenge him in a meaningful way.

Oh please, Obama, please do it!!!! Timing is perfect. Do it!!!

[jospehm20]

I am really sick of this jerk. Obama just sucks in pretty much every way it is possible for a degenrate marxist homo to suck.

[Travis McGee]

What is Obama going to do with all of the new "criminals?"

Never let a crisis go to waste, Never, and if you don’t have one, manufacture it, see F&F.

The State Medical Board order of reprimand to the shooters drug pusher/quack is worth a read too.

This crap keeps happening again and again and again, and it always takes months for the details to leak out, and be ignored.

I Have Cho’s medical records from Virginia Tech, and I remain unshakeably certain that if those Idiot Counselors had just minded their own business, Virginia Tech never would have happened.

Cho was introverted, and just plain ornery, but no one got dead until After the counselors badgered him into a diagnosis and drugging.

If anyone wants those records drop me a valid e-addy in a private mssg.

He could use the EPA again by banning the interstate transportation of toxic substances (lead).

"The Department Of Homeland Security Is Buying 450 Million New Bullets" No, they are not. They are buying 450 million rounds of ammunition, which happens to incorporate shellcases, primers, powder and bullets. A "round" is known as a "cartridge". Multiple cartridges are known as "ammunition".

"Bullets" are those little thingies that are launched by a firearm and fly thru the air until they contact their target or the ground.

Bullets are to cartridges as cement is to concrete, as flour is to bread, etc. When will everyone learn?

I hope they try it. This to will be Chick Fil A’d!

That it's a good idea, but it would be better handled after the election, when he'll have more flexibility.

DAMN! You beat me to it.
