JUST IN: Radical Left NY AG Letitia James and 14 Democrat State Attorneys General Sign Letter Asking Biden Regime to Ban “Military-Grade” Ammunition for Citizens
GATEWAYPUNDIT ^ | 1/10/2024 | Jordan Conradson

Fifteen radical left State Attorneys General from across the nation sent a letter on Tuesday, asking the Biden Regime’s Office of Gun Violence Prevention to ban private citizens from purchasing 5.56-millimeter rounds manufactured at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant.

Instead, they want these rounds to be reserved only for the military. They must have forgotten the Founding Fathers’ intent with the Second Amendment.

New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is currently suing the NRA, ran for office on taking on the NRA and slammed the group as a “terrorist organization,” is leading this effort. Back in March 2022, a Manhattan judge blocked Letitia James’ failed attempt to shut down the National Rifle Association (NRA).

The letter states, “We ask your Office to investigate the contracting and manufacturing practices that led to so many billions of military-grade rounds being sold into our communities, and to issue a public report with recommendations about how to end the diversion of military ammunition into civilian hands. In the long term, we ask the White House to ensure that future production contracts prohibit the sale of military weapons and ammunition to civilians.”

Meanwhile, Democrats across the nation are complicit in the invasion at our southern border, where over 11 million illegals, who are mainly military-age males and include many known or suspected terrorists, have invaded the US on their open border invitation.

Do you think these people are going to follow our gun laws when they come to a neighborhood near you?

The Attorneys General who sent the letter to the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention can be found below:

“ They must have forgotten the Founding Fathers’ intent with the Second Amendment.”

No they didn’t forget it. This is evidence that they’re keenly aware of it. Tyrants always disarm their citizens if the can.

Ok, no more "military grade" ammo to keep the leftist loonies happy.

None of that "military grade" stuff is hollow points as per the Geneva Convention, if I remember, nothing that fragments.

So, from now on, only hollow points and other fragmenting "civilian ammo" to keep these dolts happy.

Make some real wounds.

Yes, please ban 55 grain full metal jacketed 5.56 rounds from civilian use, but continue to allow them to use 77 grain jacketed hollow point .223 hunting ammunition, because it’s so much safer...

Let’s create a thriving black market for ammo that, based on the miserable failure with fentanyl and illegal migrants, NO ONE in the Gubmint will be able to trace.

Well musket balls were once considered military grade.

Except in New Jersey, of course, where hollow points are prohibited.

the diversion of military ammunition into civilian hands

It's all fairly simple: The contractor is obligated to manufacture a certain amount of ammunition for DOD and other government customers. Any additional production, the contractor may sell to citizens as the contractor sees fit. There's no "diversion" and nothing sneaky or underhanded about it.

As usual, the tyrant leftists are LYING.

Oh, and are any hobbiests making ‘military-grade’ ammo?

No. My reloads are tighter tolerances and higher quality than "military grade".

The "Office of Gun Violence Prevention" has no legal right to ban private citizens from buying anything.

Lake City produces primarily 5.56mm NATO and 9mm NATO ammunition. It’s top quality stuff, as anyone who actually shoots it knows.

We said this would happen back when they stopped selling Lake City seconds to the Civvy market.

Mil-Surp ammo always been only good for bulk ammo “plinking” and practice. Never for hunting or competition shooting.

Or for restoring the Tree of Liberty for that matter...

And they will continue to lie as it gets them what they want. There are no real repercussions for their actions.

Well, they mean any ammunition that goes into black evil looking weapons with pistol grips. Those semi-automatic machine guns.

“Military-Grade” Ammunition

Stuff produced by low bidders to MilSpec. It's a standard well below match-grade for CIVILIAN competition.
