Many years ago during the Clinton Presidency, a firearms manufacturer called Olympic Arms, built a semi-automatic pistol that fired 7.62x39mm Ammo. It looked for all practical purposes just like a shortened & no shoulder stock version of a mAK rifle. It resulted in some anti-gun folks claiming that steel core ammo (the cheap stuff imported from China) could/should be classified as cop-killer amour piercing ammo. Up until then Chi-Com surplus and newly manufactured ammo was feeding a frenzy of SKS and MAK rifle imports into the U.S.
Been there done that. Shortly after the banning of Chi-Com surplus ammo, Russian and Eastern European surplus and newly manufactured ammo floodgates opened and those who had SKS and MAK’s found other sources of ammo.
Personally, I find it stupid and childish what the government is doing, but there sill be other sources of ammo, as nature and capitalism abhor a vacuum or unfilled market.
The Clinton administration rang this bell and it didn't stop shooting sports. Obama can ring the bell again and it will create a temporary price bubble for ammo, but it too won't last long.
Keep shooing my friends.
“Keep shooting my friends.”
Or
“Keep shooting, my friends.”?
Punctuation matters. :>))
