Kalifornia wants to regulate ammo...

Saying more than 2,000 Californians were killed by gunfire last year, Skinner said the bill would "bulletproof our communities."

From a person alleged to be in Missouri:

We just got an Email from all of our major Transportation contracts (UPS, VITRAN, YRC) that they will NOT be shipping any more ammo to us. They want it first...then we might get the left overs. if any at all..Major Bummer!!!

Another post link to this:

The days of the “ORM-D: Small Arms Cartridges” labels for ammo shipments are numbered. The Dept. of Transportation (DOT) is phasing out the current ORM-D ammo labels, replacing them with a larger striped diamond label that does not mention “Small Arms Cartridges”. This change is designed to harmonize U.S. shipping rules with United Nations standards. You can start using the new “Limited Quantity” diamond labels for ammo shipments immediately, but they are not mandatory — yet. You can continue to use the old ORM-D “Cartridges, Small Arms” labels until December 31, 2013. As of January 1, 2014 you MUST use the Striped Diamonds.

Harmonizing with the UN.....

This is working the way they thought Fast and Furious would.

I am not so sure it is so much a ban on ammo considering that DHS is buying stockpiles of ammo to the point of needing to ask why do you need so much? Or if it is a knee-jerk reaction to what is happening with multiple Gun Bills and the possibility of an executive order. I think that the Federal Government is buying every bit of ammo they can, and that is causing a shortage. I am asking myself why this is happening because the rounds that DHS is buying is hollow point soft tipped rounds and not authorized for use as a round for law enforcement nor is it authorized under the Geneva rules of war.

But as for stockpiling yes you should always be prepared like a good boy scout . And yes one man’s criminal is another man’s patriot. I would also say this for all you professionals’ do what you know how to do.

i wonder if it that would be something regulated at a local level, i ask because all of Stevens county sheriff deputies are not allowed to carry hollow points. i dont know about spokane county

I expect them to tax ammo like they have taxed tobacco, using the proceeds to fight gun violence. Dollar a round to start.

I agree. Makes me wonder how far they would it to achieve the goal.
