You're confused.

You're rude and you use bad language.

Alternately, the govt could be planning on having the EPA shut down all the ammo makers once THEY have a multi-year supply of ammo, so as to deny ammo to civilians.

We have now imported trillions of dollars of manufactured things, and exported millions and millions of American jobs. I say enough of both. Tax imports, and tax exported goods. Now.

You'll always attract more flies with honey than you will with vinegar.

Your solution to bringing jobs back to the US is purely punitive. Punish businesses (foreign and domestic) and the pain is simply passed on to the end consumer.

A better solution is for us to make doing in the US more attractive by lowering government-imposed taxes and regulations. That's the conservative answer to the problem.

Advocating for America manufacturing is likewise conservative.

Except my idea, strengthens America.

Yours weakens her.

Think about that for just a moment. America was how strong relative to the world, at this time 20 years ago?

(I’ll answer that without hesitation, we were the unquestioned Superpower in the globe.)

How about 10 years ago.

How about now?

Seriously. How can there be any question, we have become much, much weaker. All because of globalization.

Wake up America. We need American jobs.

Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts

A caller to the Michael Savage Show who ID'd himself as a manufacturer and a federal government contractor said it is the feds controlling the supply.

The feds do not actual purchase all those hundreds of millions of rounds but they can exercise their options to order as many rounds they deem necessary to cut off civilians and the manufacturers are obligated to serve no other customer but the government.

"except it wouldn’t be the rule of law but the rule of communists."

.

"...especially considering they are taking active steps to achieve that very collapse."

How can we force companies to bring jobs back here?

Impossible. You can incentivize them, but you cannot force them.

#2 makes as much sense as the Department Of Health solving obesity by “drying up” the potato chip market.

So that leaves...#1.

yup... anyone that thinks we’re going in the right direction would be opposed to any of those measures.

you can make the tariffs so high, it would be more profitable to manufacture in the US

if they don’t bring their manufacturing back, then it would create an opening for competition to do it using their US employees / manufacturing

Tariffs are passed on to the consumer. The same thing as a national sales or VAT tax.

What does that accomplish?

They could use excess ammo stores as trade goods to manipulate/ coerce power blocks outside of their organization.

"How can we force companies to bring jobs back here?"

Many of them have been conspiring against the US economy and national security with foreign communist nations for a decades while having US emissaries regulate against new, small U.S. shop starts on local levels. That should help with finding an answer to the question.

Domestic enemy bandwagons, go ahead. Make more noise. You'll be buying from the rest of us in the future.
