And might I ask . . . Are they planning to regulate people who reload as well?
Nay.
“They” wouldn’t do that.
Actually it’s possible they would be so stupid to miss the reloading aspect. Look at the mega tobacco tax on cigarettes. Stupid Clinton/Gore FAILED to tax cigars. I got such a hoot out of smoking Swishers for next to nothing while my buds were paying $3 a pack for marlboros. I tried to convert them to little cigars but they kept gettin’ dizzy when they tried ‘em.
Problem with reloading is that you have to get the chemicals. The ammo companies do a great job controlling quality for the most part. Where are reloaders gonna get saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal? Yes, I know it can be done but I’d rather stockpile proven rounds. After all...
I can only shoot so many deer, rabbits, or terrorists.
I figure my supply will outlast this stupid administration.
The way this thing is written, it would effectively outlaw handloading as any handloaded ammunition wouldn’t be coded and you would have to turn in any such ammunition.
I have read that they will limit powder purchases. I don’t recall the amount, however. It keeps for a looooooooooong time.
