Democrats attack from all sides and introduce legislation to come after ‘bulk’ sales of ammo
American Thinker ^ | 10 Nov, 2-23 | Olivia Murray

Once upon a time, Israel did this too—how’d that work out?

Just today I penned a blog on news out of Texas that a Trump-appointed federal judge had issued a nationwide stay on the ATF’s pistol brace ban—but the high was short-lived. Allow me to explain:

In a move that the Democrats and the bureaucratic left clearly would have anticipated, the judge in that case announced that “public safety concerns must be addressed in ways that are lawful.” Gee, what a concept, the federal government (at least somewhat and sometimes) being held to the supreme law of the land too?

So, the Democrats covered those bases too, and instead of trying to legislate through the unconstitutional bureaucracy, they’re going through the branch of government where lawmaking is supposed to take place; eight days ago Elizabeth “Fauxcahontas” Warren, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and California’s Robert Garcia introduced a bill they named the Ammunition Modernization and Monitoring Oversight Act, abbreviated as the AMMO Act. As the press release posted to Garcia’s official website says, the federal law “would restrict bulk sales of ammunition, would require businesses who sell ammunition to obtain the same federal license as gun dealers, and would require businesses to conduct a background check on buyers.” So what classifies as a “bulk” sale? From the text of the bill itself, “more than 1,000 rounds” of almost all calibers in a 5-day time frame—the one exception is .50 BMG, which in that case, 100 rounds meets the “bulk” definition.

Now, once upon a time, Israel enacted ammunition restriction legislation too—but a little over a month ago on October 8th, Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir made an emergency declaration to “allow as many citizens as possible to arm themselves.”

That’s what I thought about Oregon’s Ballot Measure 114.

The Democrat timing on this ammo act couldn’t be worse. Everybody is at DEFCON 2. We need the “shall not be infringed” part no more than ever.

BLOAT

Lake City 556 NATO is going quick and what is available is the last since Lake City announced they are no longer supplying the civilian market.

762 NATO is down to mostly range/practice ammo.

762 NATO GGG (Lithuania) has disappeared from the market.

It’s OK. The IRS has plenty of ammo.

Strange. Elizabeth “Fauxcahontas” Warren never had a background check.

So two bricks of 22 LR rimfire ammo is a bulk purchase?

Also considering that Shotgun shells and a round of trap or skeet is 25 shells, this could put a damper on shotgun sporting events......although my shoulder might look black and blue after 1000 rounds of 12 guage in a long weekend.

A good start would be going after all the ammunition from the IRS stockpile.

The Supremes must rule on what an infringement is.

You’re right; there isn’t much time left.

Dimwit Biden and the sap-happy Dems are always belly-aching about law-abiding
Americans having guns, always thinking up new ways to grab guns from Americans
simply trying to protect themselves and their families.

That’s why its nauseating to see these same grabbers hell bent on arming foreign countries to the hilt (using gun owners’ tax dollars).

The time to ammo up is when a Republican is in the White House. Timing is everything.

The same lawmakers sucking up, and sap-happily financing US arms giveaways
to foreign countries are “hammering out” tougher gun control laws for Americans.
