You did good.
You didn’t kill the html formatting, and anything that is out of whack in the arrticle body the mods can fix easily.

It's perfect.

I recall this in the news a while back when there was a major ammo shortage, it's good that it is kept in the news for it does appear to be senseless outside of political agenda.

“...If the Reloading Industry has to purchase new manufacture brass cases, then the cost of ammunition will double or even triple, plus Obama wants to add a 500% tax on each shell. ... “

These people are not idiots, they are cunning, treasonous wolves, mounting an attack on the Second Amendment. Make no mistake, death camps are on the way! IMHO

This is just the regime doing what it can to reduce the supply of ammunition. It is so desperate to keep the people unarmed that it will literally spare no expense to do this.

The story is a year old and the policy was changed almost as soon as it was initiated.

The same story was going around about a year ago, but I heard everything got straightened-out.

This is a waste of OUR MONEY and it is meant to punish and destroy the ammo business in the private sector. If folks cannot afford ammo, they will not buy it for practice and only use it when necessary. Too bad. This is wrong.

ANd it is such an abuse of our tax dollars.

Liberals suck. aND THEY ARE STUPID....DO THEY NOT KNOW THAT GOVERNMENT CHANGES WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ELECTED? DO THEY THINK THEY ARE SAFE WITH GOVERNMENT CONTROLLING EVERYTHING? JUST WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE THE ONES IN THE HOSPITAL HALLWAYS SCREAMING WITHOUT HELP OVER THE PLUG BEING PULLED ON A BELOVED CHILD BECAUSE STATISTICS SHOW HE OR SHE IS GOING TO BE TOO EXPENSIVE TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICALLY. AND IT WILL BE THE POOR BLACK FOLKS AND THE POOR WHITE FOLKS AND THE POOR HISPANIC FOLK WHO SUFFER THIS FIRST BECAUSE THEY ARE THE LEAST POWERFUL OF ALL...THE ONES WHO WANTED THE FREEBIES AND THEN FIND OUT THEY GOT SATAN IN A GOVERNMENT WRAPPED PACKAGE, INSTEAD.

Nothing wrong with your post, but . . .

PLEASE read the original article more carefully!

1. The article is dated March 2009.

2. In huge capitals at the original article, it says "This situation has been resolved." This was posted last March and everyone wrote their congresscritters and it was rescinded.

Sorry if I sound short but I'm posting from my iPhone.

Moronic economics... moronic politics... deprives Americans... benefits the Chinese... yes, this has “Washington Handiwork” written all over it.

America has fallen into a pit of PC insanity, and it’s digging itself in ever deeper day by day.

An aborted attempt to do an end-run around the Second Amendment.

Pure and simple.

Not idiots, but rather totalitarians who hate the Second Amendment.

My first reaction to this was to recollect a 1944 poem by ee cummings “plato told” . But the more I reflect on this wrongheaded DOD policy, the more I see an effort to disarm American citizens and bankrupt its private industries as the underlying purpose here..

Still, there’s something about that cummings reference to that “nipponized bit of the third avenue el in the top of his head” convincing the doubter of Japanese imperial intentions. Our country has seen this movie before. Hasn’t anyone learned anything?

I thought this had been cleared up a long time ago. This came up a couple of years ago.

Friday night staying at a hotel in Crystal City and looking out the window at the US Capitol Building. My first reaction was to flip it the middle finger with emphasis.
I have since apologized to the building itself for it has more honor than most of the vermin creeps who walk it’s floors.
