I’m beginning to think that they simply want to deplete the supply of guns and ammo for the general public...while they figure out and implement a longer-term policy of “ending our gun culture”.
I think that’s not unlikely.
With prices/demand up from the civilian market, I wonder when a manufacturer/supplier says “to heck with this Federal contract, I’m selling the stuff where I make some MONEY! Those guys can wait.”
That’s what I was thinking.
