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.

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.

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
They’re not bullets, they’re cartridges. The bullet is one of the four components that comprise a complete round of ammunition.

“All Right?”
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.....
"Allowed" my ass. They depend on private contractors because they do a better job for less money than a factory full of civil servants.
And as I noted when this story first broke, Winchester's bid for this contract was based on them being to offset the low profit margin for the government work by selling whatever surplus they might manufacture on the civilian market. If the government cuts that off, Winchester can't afford to make the ammunition the government needs at the price agreed upon.
Keeping the production going for civilians with America’s favorite modern sporting rifle is also necessary for defense readiness. Production is continuously more ready for both war production for our military forces and continuing training and equipment for millions of law-abiding potential defenders of the U.S.A. for the possible future event of foreign enemy invasion.
Don’t fear your neighbors without reason. Many of them have been armed (concealed) for years in public without causing any fuss.
