Ammos listed for this rumored ban include the .50BMG, 7.62x39mm Soviet, 7.62x51mm NATO, .308 Winchester, 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington. Additionally, we're hearing that an expansion of this proposed ban might be broadened to include the 6.8mm SPC, 9mm Parabellum, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP- among others.
In other words, State Department officials may be floating a trial balloon to see if there are howls of protest, or whimpers of compliance. Canadian elected officials who have directed this information to me say the move seems to be motivated by "emboldened" anti-gun officials who think they have a kindred spirit in President Obama.

want to sell your 308?
I don’t think anyone here is surprised that they will try to sneak in gun/ammo/parts bans. If they want the fight, then bring it.
So they want to ban the 3 main rifle rounds (.308/7.62x51, .223/5.56, and 7.62x39) along with the 3 main pistol rounds (9mm, .40, .45) from being imported.
Gee how convenient...those rounds must encompass 95% of the guns out there.
Just another way to make everyday life and the exercise of your rights as inexpensive and difficult as possible if you’re not one of the Anointed Ones.
I understand your feelings about our current scene, but really, comments like that do nothing but bring everyone down, and dampen what fighting spirit we have.

In Canada, calls to their Parliament protested the idea that whole classes of ammo could, effectively, be stopped at the border. Here in the US, it taught me to be a good bit more exact with the concepts of import and export. The intent of the story was simple - to let our readers know the United States Department of State was considering a ban on the export of US ammo in several calibers to Canada.
Yep, no use to me.
“So they want to ban the 3 main rifle rounds along with the 3 main pistol rounds from being imported”
NEXT STEP-Subject gun and ammo manufacturers to UNLIMITED CIVIL LIABILITY, and heavy taxation, making it impossible to produce weapons and ammunition, without actually “Banning” guns.
Reference H.R. 45, Holt Weapons Licsensing/Confiscation Act for details.

I’m a smart guy usually, can anybody tell me why Hill would want to stop exporting these (or any) calibers of ammo to Canada????????
Africa.
This is really starting to get scary.
Read “Men in Black” by Mark Levin.
The political administrations in Washington have been very innovative and inventive in circumventing the public forum in issuing their ukases. Over the years it has been perfected to a science.
Sportsmans Guide is showing some of the Brown Bear non-reloadable stuff available in 500-round lots for $149.00.
I doubt you'll find a better deal out there right now, if you can find the stuff at all.
Why am I even surprised?
To put a finer point on it, these are the calibers used in the firearms that they don't want us to have.
Those are also the calibers that make up the vast majority of the import business. Killing those specific products will put importers out of business.

I like the brass cased PRVI.
Yes, but you know the push is coming. Clinton slammed the door on ammo from China; Obama will take it further.
I’m interested in buying your .308. FReepmail me.
Followup...Politics and Pistols
Last Friday, we reported that Canadian authorities had sent word of a United States State Department proposal that would ban several ammo calibers sale by United States companies to Canada. It's safe to say that the story kicked off quite a storm on both sides of the border.

Clinton eliminated 70% of the Federal Firearm Licenses.
That is fact, no speculation, no guessing, he just did it!
Glad to see someone else linked to the original. I guess I should’ve read down before posting.

where there is a link to:
http://gun-deals.com/ammo.php?caliber=7.62x39
which used to be an up-to-date list of manufacturers and prices... however has not been updated for a long time. It was user run and I think people either lost interest or took it for granted that “someone else” would update it.
Try the first link, you might get some leads there.
