Definitely an attack from the inside.
Aren’t there a lot of people who know how to make that powder?
Black powder substitutes are cleaner burning and produce less fouling and are available to enthusiasts. Part of the problem is that the substitutes are preferred by most people.
Dept. of Homeland Security, DOT, NHSTA recently came to a job fair at our local community college - made offers to all the kids who had studied machining, engine technology and drafting/construction - basically anyone who studied some math and was smart enough to enter a skilled trade (not the gender-studies retards - who all go into county social services)
With unlimited printed money and debt, Fed.gov it seems will always pay higher compared to the local, private diesel/engine repair shops, construction firms and machine shops - who are all scrambling for skilled workers.
Its simple “crowding out.”
And they wonder why there is no one to manufacture munitions.
Just another way bloated Fed.gov f***s the whole economy
I remember a few years ago doing some contract work for a DoD contractor who repaired radar systems, etc. It was near Talladega, ALA. On the grounds were old WWII large naval shell assembly bunkers where they loaded and processed the rounds. An elaborate maze of trolley tunnels, copper grounding straps everywhere. An amazing bit of history to see up close.
Estes took over the Goex plant and is making powder again. US government is their largest customer. This article is hogwash.
“Decades of consolidation”
Take that, Putin!!! We know how to apply the smartest and brightest MBA graduates, from IVY LEAGUE schools, to make our military much more efficient!
Just finishing the work of destroying the military that Clinton started when he shut down so many bases and downsized the military, traitor that he is.
Let’s Go Brandon
Black Powder Matters.
.
The real “whoops!” Is in giving away every weapon that uses gunpowder to support corrupt nations that will think nothing of turning those weapons on us while we are vulnerable and can’t do a damn thing to stop it. WHOOPS!
Black powder is the "lowest" explosive that can make it to military charts.
“Department of Defense relies on to produce bullets”
What?

God punishes you when you only have one of something.
Sounds like a good time for China to invade Taiwan (bad) or maybe even California (good?).
