The Attorneys General of 28 states are demanding that President Joe Biden ignore a request to investigate the Lake City Army Ammunition plant’s policy of selling 5.56 mm rifle ammunition to civilians.

28 Republican AGs Say Ending Ammo Sales

Stop Lying, Misquoting, Trolling and posting drunk on threads you don’t understand.
Are you capable of making any sense?
Why would you post a thread for discussion merely to be a troll on it?
Ironic, I looked earlier today and couldn’t find any 7.62x51mm by Lake City for sale.
Pound Sand.

There are still many Free Market forces actively affecting the market, and Lake City, like any other market supplier, wants to turn their above contract production into cash, for their operating expenses.
