If the current ammunition shortage was not bad enough, prices may continue to rise after a recent move by the Biden administration.
According to a State Department news release from Aug. 20, a new round of sanctions is being imposed on Russia due to its utilization of a deadly "Novichok" chemical nerve agent. This nerve agent was used in the poisoning of Aleksey Navalny, a Russian opposition figure, in August 2020.
The sanctions are being imposed under the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991 and focus on imports and exports between the United States and Russia, according to the release.
The sanctions add additional restrictions to exports on missile-related and nuclear goods and technology, the release states.
In addition to the Department of Commerce export restrictions, the sanctions also impose "restrictions on the permanent imports of certain Russian firearms," according to the release.
Furthermore, the release states that "new and pending permit applications for the permanent importation of firearms and ammunition manufactured or located in Russia will be subject to a policy of denial.

And it could end up far worse than anyone could have ever imagined...if that’s possible.
You must expect all kinds of catastrophe when a d is president.
Commie Joe and The Commie-ettes, hard at work.
Banned everything made in Russia!
Dumbassery writ large.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And cheered on by Bush League Republicans.
We MUST stop re-electing Assistant Democrats.
AKA republicrats.
“Banned everything made in Russia!”
Get your bottle of stolichnaya while you can.
Didn’t CornPop already ban Russian made guns and ammo? Old news. Already done.
Biden Administration Bans Importation of Russian Guns and Ammo ..... Ammoland Inc. Posted on August 20, 2021 by Dean Weingarten
On 20 August 2021, the U.S. Department of State released a fact sheet announcing Russian firearms and ammunition importation will be banned for a minimum of 12 months starting 7 September 2021. From state.gov:
New sanctions imposed today under the CBW Act include:
Restrictions on the permanent imports of certain Russian firearms. New and pending permit applications for the permanent importation of firearms and ammunition manufactured or located in Russia will be subject to a policy of denial.
The ban is listed as a sanction pursuant to the Chemical and Biological Weapons (CBW) Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991, over the supposed Russian use of the “Novichok” chemical agent to poison Aleksey Navainy.
That is good vodka
Americans will pay through the nose for the Biden Crime Family's Right to assist, arm and collect Bribes and Graft from a Nazi Ukrainian Coup "Government" that is Ethnically Cleansing Eastern Europe of White Christians.
"Rights" are important, you know.
“...policy of denial...” We may need to get used to that phrase before long........
A pox on anyone buying anything from Russia while there’s a war on.
“”Rights” are important, you know.” Lucky for us our astute (p)resident has let us know that none of them are absolute. I wonder if there would be much push back if someone wanted to usurp/modify/suspend the 13th or 19th amendments. Nah, probably not. /$
Can we use this retroactively to chuck Hillary in the hoosegow over the Uranium One controversy? Yeah, I doubt it.
As far as the guns and ammo stuff, that's been known since last summer. Current imports have been based on previously-existing approvals which will not be renewed, due to these sanctions (really, any imported firearms, parts and ammo are low-hanging fruit for an administration with an anti-gun agenda, so most shooters saw this coming).
Stoli is no longer made in Russia per a news segment I heard from Utah this morning.
Don’t recall any sanctions on any Chinese goods after they releases a plague on the entire planet.
I don’t care, since I don’t use cheap Russian ammo. Real ammo has a brass case.
Exactly.
The bureaucratic mechanisms are used to bypass laws. And government at EVERY level has become incredibly proficient at using those mechanisms for everything from banning bullets to raising your property taxes.
I'm willing to pay a few extra cents a round to make that happen.
LOL!
