Requires those who want to use black or smokeless powder to obtain a “limited” explosives license.

Been there, done that, got the flag...

Availability of reloading components has been screwed since Obama's election. The big stores once carried every imaginable bullet caliber, weight and style from multiple manufacturers. Ditto for brass, powders and primers. That stuff is nearly impossible to get anymore.

Before I left San Diego for Idaho, my wife and I would each shoot 300 rds a week. The brass would get "laundered" in the vibratory cleaner on Saturday night. I would reload 600 to 1000 rds on Sunday night while listening to Drudge. A box of 1,000 primers and two 500 count boxes of bullets would be consumed. It was revolver brass, so it all came home. A 1 lb can of powder cost $20. Ditto for 1,000 primers. At a nominal 5 gr powder per round, I could reload 1400 rounds with that single can. A box of 148 gr DEWC in .357 caliber set me back $27 for 250. The gun shop loved the business. I had a great hobby. That's pretty much eliminated by a meddling government...for no good reason at all. The indoor range collected the spent bullets and sold the lead to a bullet casting company. Everything but the powder and primers was carefully recycled.

Aluminum powder and rust are explosives [thermite]-

Aluminum cans, foil and tin cans now will be confiscated after usage by your local ATF recycling plant.

Like the other prongs in the effort, it’s a class war against the Second Amendment for the rabble. And at the other end of the default process, we’ll all be members of the rabble.

After analysis, it’s an attempt to register reloaders, and more immediately, to cut off supplies for even longer. If consumers are wise enough, for the mere presentation of such a threat, the political/regulator class won’t get their hunting tourism season and revenues. Besides, save what you have, folks, and avoid expending it. There might not be any more.

Being insane doesn’t mean that you can’t be elected to the Senate or the White House.

America, what a place!

the terrorists took apart fireworks for the powder so NOW the RATS will try and screw over hand loaders...
