"More a victim of piss poor planning." No, a victim of Bill Clinton not replacing training ammunition as it was being used and two unanticipated wars.
"The private sector can easily pick up the slack provided that they can make a reasonable profit." Not necessarily. Winchester is already into the act with a contract to produce 5.56mm Ball M855 ammunition. Just how much do you know about the Remington Arms Company and Federal Cartridge Company's current capacity to produce such ammunition? Can you name any other U.S. manufacturer with the capability and capacity? Please get your facts correct before posting.

It has been 3 1/2 years, I think they current admin shares in the blame. They have had more than enough time to correct this.

No, a victim of Bill Clinton not replacing training ammunition as it was being used and two unanticipated wars. Clinton was in office four years ago. How long will he be blamed?
