Fifty House Republicans have petitioned President Biden to stop the Pentagon’s plan to ban commercial production of AR-15 ammunition at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in Missouri, which makes as much as 40% of the commercially available AR-15 bullets in the U.S.
The factory, owned by the Department of Defense, has allowed private contractors over the years to operate the plant and produce 5.56 mm ammunition, which is used in AR-15 semi-automatic firearms, for commercial sales that exceed U.S. military needs.
Sen. Roy Blunt, Missouri Republican, later told The Washington Times that the White House would not follow through on the plan.

I would bet my next paycheck that not one of the civilian weasels in the White House including Brandon himself knows what the “AR” in AR-15 stands for.
You would be rich.
Ping
It stands for “assault rifle”. Everybody knows that…
“Automatic rifle”. Because, as everyone knows, the AR-15 is a fully semiautomatic rifle.

Yeah, but it ain't as lethal as the 9mm LB (Lung-Blaster) round.
That’s pretty retarded for the politicians to blame all of this country’s criminal acts on one certain caliber of ammunition. ROTFL! Really retarded.

We know what happened to these guys, don`t we.
Keep your guns....but no bullets for you!!
Obiden,
LOSES AGAIN.
Biden is keeping it open because the $780 billion-a-year US Army is likely running low on ammunition.
Do people believe that supply-chain problems have not occurred in the US defense industries like elsewhere in the economy?
The bad effects are multiplied because they are giving so much to Ukraine, the industry is heavily controlled by government bureaucrats and politicians, who are slow and ponderous in the best of times, and who have enforced Covid rules strictly
*Snicker* Except I got an AR in the most lethal 9mm chambering.
With the combination of Atomic Rifle and Lung Blaster, I WILL RULE THE WORLD!!!
(end Skeletor rant)
They’re not bullets, they’re cartridges. The bullet is one of the four components that comprise a complete round of ammunition.
/gun nerd rant off
“All Right?”
Why would they? Most gun owners get it wrong, too...
;>)
The plant operators finally came back with a “cost-to-limit-production” number and the government saw the light.
Excess production sales to the civilian market was what kept the price, availability and capability to respond to emerging GOVERNMENT needs viable. Removing that ability has consequences. Less money to funnel to good-ole-boy payoffs and such.....
If they demonize the .223, aren’t all of the more powerful rounds demonized, as well? They really hate that the AR is so popular.
