BREAKING: Biden Administration Moves to Cut Off Lake City .223/5.56 Ammo From the Commercial Market

The Truth About Guns ^ | June 15, 2022 | Dan Zimmerman

I may not have all the facts here ... someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I believe Lake City produces the 5.56 military rounds exclusively. In their excess manufacturing capacity, they produce commercially available 5.56 rounds and the slightly lesser 223 rounds.

If Brandon makes it so they can only supply the military, they will choke off the supply for civilians.

Yesterday was the time to stock up on powder, primers, brass, and bullets.

Fear the government that you are too apethetic to take to the streets to oppose

I am not an attorney, but it seems to me that when Winchester bid that contract surplus capacity had been sold on the civilian market for many, many years. Preventing this sale is a material change in the terms of the contract and should be reason to renegotiate the price of the ammo made there.

More Bidenflation.

[Waverunner]

The government might actually own the production equipment and winchester might just have the production contract for the Army.

- -And just how do the Federales get to tell Winchester what legal products may or may not sell on the open market? --

Contract law. Make purchase conditional on exlcusive rights to purchase.

It's monopolistic behavior when private companies with substantial market share do this, but the government is not bound by any law.

"Fear the government that you are too apethetic to take to the streets to oppose."

What news from the front, General?

[Bshaw]

Yes, you’ll recall Obama’s Operation Chokepoint that aimed to restrict banking and other financial services to those engaged in what the administration deemed to be unacceptable commerce.

[ShadowAce]

And just how do the Federales get to tell Winchester what legal products may or may not sell on the open market?

Lake City is owned by the US Army. Winchester merely operates it under Federal contract.

I'm assuming there are plenty of clauses involved that allow US gov't to change terms at any time.

Hey Winchester: Just tell JoBama to suck it and sell it anyways. You don’t need permission to sell your own property.

That’s an illegal order and they know it.

[Perseverando]

Step 1: Destroy middle class
Step 2: Disarm law abiding citizens
Step 3: Unveil new dictatorial government

Just my perspective:

Step 1: Take control of social media and news media
Step 2: Indoctrinate children and adults in the education institutions
Step 3: Creat a false flag "plandemic:
Step 4: Steal an election with cooperation of corrupt politicians and political parties
Step 5: Arrest and lock up indefinitely those who objected
Step 6: Destroy the economy
Step 7: Bankrupt America
Step 8: Disrupt the supply chain with assistance from enemies foreign and domestic
Step 9: Destroy the energy sector due to climate change
Step 10: Destroy the food supply
Step 11: Destroy the means of self defense from tyranny
Step 12: Police State and Totalitarian Rule

I know some are out of sync and I probably left out some that others would think need to be added. Just did this on the fly. Look forward to hearing what I left out.

Sounds like a business opportunity.....................

[ShadowAce]

It does. I wish I knew how to manufacture ammunition....

[Red Badger]

Maybe you and I don’t, but there are plenty of people who do...................

“...more difficult and expensive for America’s 100 million firearm owners...”

Just 100 million? I think not...

exclusively

No

The other month I was reading Lake City Ammo plant is converting over their 5.56 line over to the new 6.8x51mm rounds.

Back in April the Army announced a new weapon to replace the M4 and M249.

The Lake City Army Ammo Plant is making its first new round in 65 years

Could this be a fake move by Biden administration to say they are doing something about Gun Control. The ammo plant must convert over to make production room for the new 6.8x51mm rounds. There will not be any excess .233/5.56 ammo if they are starting a new ammo line.

It is time to get rid of the Soros, Obozo and Biden Administration and the entire staff and advisors. These deadheads are running the Country into the ground with decisions that are not in the best interests of the American people. Just get them out of office permanently because there won’t be a USA by November 2022
