U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., says he believes open purchase orders from the Department of Homeland Security to buy over 1 billion rounds of ammunition are part of an “intentional” effort by the Obama administration to “dry up the market” for gun-owning citizens.
“We have in this country the Second Amendment that preserves the right to keep and bear arms,” Inhofe told radio host Aaron Klein, “and the president doesn’t believe in that.”

Question: what if I were to pack my own bullets and sell them? I suppose I would need some kind of permit and stuff?
It's a race to the finish.
Maybe I should be a congressman.
They are manipulating the market just like Wall Street execs do...creating shortages so demand goes up.
Come onnnn....the Mexican drug gangs need ammunition! What use is all the guns Holder gave them if they ain’t got ammunition?
Where are you going to get the brass ? I have friends who are (re)loaders and they can’t even get brass, new or used in which to load for their own purposes let alone sell.
I would assume that you would need a standard D.B.A. permit to get into this business.
If you don’t make it yourself, you need a Type 07 FFL. The ATF part is pretty cheap and easy, about $150 license fee for three years. But, now you also have to register with the ITAR which costs upwards of $2K per year. If you want to reload and sell, you also need a remanufacturing license.
I don’t think this applies if it is just a private sale.
Wouldn't work. You are too intelligent. Pretty soon, there would be plotting behind your back to get rid of you.
Correction to the previous, you also need a Type 06 FFL license if you make it to sell but you don’t need it to resell something someone else has made (who has a type 06).
That is cheaper than the type 07, only $30/3 years.
Bullets are to cartridges as flour is to bread as cement is to concrete as a fender is to an automobile, etc.
A cartridge is an assembly of multiple components known as the shellcase, primer, propellant powder and the bullet. Modern firearms are chambered for cartridges, not bullets. Bullets are those little thingies launched by a firearm that fly through the air until they impact a target or eventually fall to the ground. Multiple cartridges are known as ammunition.

Look at the clear pattern.
Obama orders all used military brass destroyed rather than sold to the civilian market.
Obama uses back channels to put pressure on private businesses to halt any involvement with the civilian gun market. See GE Capital, Bank of America, etc.
Buying up all the national ammo production capacity.
This has always been Obama’s end around plan to attack the Second Amendment. And, he's still actively trying to do this.
The power of the purse. Is sad republicans refuse to exercise the purse power. Many problems could be solved with zer0 and his end arounds.
Government can’t keep stockpiling millions of rounds more than it needs. There will be political and financial pressures that make it more and more difficult to continue. If this is meant to dry up the supply, what is their plan B? We will soon see because the stockpile is already too large.
Bull$hit. That’s not the reason. It causes manufacturers to produce more or to raise prices. It is not to dry up the supply.
courtesy ping.
Yes, that is the Obamabastard and Big B*^%h are up to.
And WHERE are the Congressmen to stop this??
Not really. But don't ask don't tell is my philosophy. Ignorance is my FRiend sometimes.
The ammo producers can only produce so much when the federal government has restricted their access to raw goods.
