>Apparently not content with its efforts so far to make gun ownership more difficult and expensive for America’s 100 million firearm owners, a source tells TTAG that the Biden administration is taking steps to constrict the availability of .223/5.56 ammunition available to the average shooter.
>A person with knowledge of the situation tells us that, more than just “considering” the move, Winchester, which operates the US Army’s Lake City ammunition plant, has been informed that it may no longer sell M855 and SS109 ammunition produced in excess of the military’s needs on the civilian market.
Kek, eat shit America. That’s comes with unconditional support of your government. Can’t have it both ways, be a good bootlicker and have daddy government too powerless to make your life miserable. I bet no Russian ever came for your guns.
Owen Carter
Dang man, just because we're funding your enemies to blow up your friends doesn't mean you have to be rude.
Liam Myers
You don't even own guns.
Xavier Bennett
>That’s comes with unconditional support of your government. Oh look, another European who knows nothing about American public sentiment but talks about it anyways.
Also, acceptable bait 7/10
Aiden Ross
Please remind me of the Russian 2nd Amendment and what private firearm ownership looks like there. Fuck your face, bitch.
Landon Baker
What's going to happen is other companies are going to switch to making 5.56 which means less of other ammunition types
Joshua Edwards
>orc you stink dude
Lincoln Sanders
It's pretty amazing that this administration is doing so much damage that they're even redpilling normies and browns.
Joshua Anderson
Only 1 website mentions anything about it, is it just bullshit fear mongering? >yes Even then on what grounds can he tell a manufacturer they can't conduct business?
Brayden Rivera
>unconditional support of your government have you ever seen a post made by an american in your life? the only burgers who say nice things about the feds are feds, and even they hate the feds when they're off the clock
Owen Perry
are you retarded? TTAG is the best source for 2A issues.
Bentley Thompson
>Even then on what grounds can he tell a manufacturer they can't conduct business? The government kinda owns Lake City.
Carter Mitchell
>Even then on what grounds can he tell a manufacturer they can't conduct business? He probably can't, and me thinks this is fear mongering, and even if ge tried I also suspect it would be little more than threats they can't act on and hope the bluff works
I’m not an expert, but it sounds like Winchester operates the facility which is owned by the US MIL. Winchester was allowed to use the machine downtime to make commercial product in-between military production, and it sounds like that’s off the table now. It isn’t “you can’t make ammo for the public” but rather “you can’t use our equipment to make ammo for your own sale”
Brayden Barnes
No browns will ever vote in significant numbers for anything but handouts and the boot. Same goes for women, blacks, and the lgbtq. There isnt any amount of damage that can be done to them or even mentally capable of tacking it back to the administration theyre forever bonded to. A lot of new /k/ voted for this.
Jace Roberts
Fuck that retarded old man and his weak abortion of a presidency
Carter Foster
Post guns, sugar, or running water
Nolan Stewart
The only ones stupid enough to fall for red pill memes and take it seriously are far right wing nut jobs
John Powell
Fuck Russia, lol. That nation has no component to it that I would ever conceivably find beneficial to myself, or desirable to live within. It's a lot of crap, lead by absolute, just like Joe Biden. I can easily dislike all of them, because they're all terrible, fuck 'em.
Jose Walker
Fuck the Republicans who are going to run the only person in the country who would lose to him in a presidential election They could run a dog against Biden and win, but they're going with Zion Don again
Brayden Edwards
> 30% of 5.56 on the market was Lake City > Who makes ammo for the DoD > Who doesn't use m855 or m193 Citation always needed, but especially now
Jose Hill
Are you actually saying this administration isn't souring people's view of government?
Levi Gutierrez
It sounds like bullshit. M855 hasn't been standard for years now, nevermind M193. This sounds like boomer fearmongering so they can sell you M855 at $1.00/rnd.
Leo Howard
pretty funny /k/ cheers the biden admin on despite them doing everything they can to eliminate guns, almost like this place is fucking overrun with feds and intelligence agents
Charles Turner
Absolute fake news. What's wrong with you people? What makes you think the President has the power to tell a private company to stop selling products to the buying public?
Who pushes this shit? "Source", "taking steps"? Grifters trying ONCE AGAIN to spark panic buying of ammo? How MANY times do we have to go through this song and dance?
Benjamin Young
hey retard the gov owns the factory
Jaxon Phillips
Nah you dont need the feds when your 19, a fat faggot with mental illness and chicks politics. They cant reconcile the immolating poltitics theyre told to have. When they age out of being bitch made itll be too far gone.
Caleb Martin
Reminder that the US government is already at war with its people. You are under siege. I hope you're preparing.
Jackson Howard
who the hell on /k/ is cheering for gun control?
Lincoln Robinson
The vatniks
Nolan Young
>it sounds like Winchester operates the facility For this to be the case, as in 30% of 5.56 ammo sold in the US was made in that plant, that would mean every single round of Winchester white box + Hornady Frontier was coming out of there.
Because VSTO (Federal, Speer, and Remington ammo), Fiocchi, Hornady, and the remaining international shit like Wolf or PMC is easily making up the remaining 70%.
Matthew Fisher
Ah, the hohol shill finally chimes in. ywnbaw faggot
Kayden Butler
Fucking hell! Can't you vatniks shut up about Ukraine for just ten fucking minutes?! What are they doing to fuck up your drunk, rape-loving stormtroopers this time that's making you dickheads lash out like this?
Josiah Campbell
Dems would just rig the election again, doesn't matter who the faggots in the gop select.
Daniel Martinez
And they have a contract with Winchester that points out exactly what goes on in that factory. They don't get to alter the terms unless the government itself is going to be buying that ammo. This is fake news and is completely unsourced. Winchester has not put out any news, nor has there been a second source of this claim. It's most likely bullshit.
Dylan Bailey
confirmed for not having set foot in a gun store since 2020. most stores are carrying almost exclusively 5.56/.223 and other nato chambering, almost no wyldecat cartridges left because everyone is too busy shitting out .223
Lucas Ramirez
They're going to print another trillion dollars to buy all the ammo
Hunter Scott
They don't need to. The second this gets out, real or fake, boomerniggers will buy it all up in a heartbeat so they can sit inside a bunker made of ammo cans.
Liam Torres
I had to sell me Lee Enfield because I couldn't feed it
Jeremiah King
You're on the wrong side of history bud.
Cooper Howard
oh no's, now Winchester will will need to re-stamp the cases to commercial winchester or take apart the rounds to sell off as reloading components. Nothing burger, noguns lose again.
Julian Sanders
Unlikely, seeing as how they keep jacking up interest rates.
Asher Green
“I know wut I got.” >What he had was lead poisoning.
Elijah Sullivan
You don't know what that phrase means, and have no idea how contracts work. If Winchester is doing something at that plant, it's because they have it in writing that they can do it, not just by the grace of whatever administration is in power. Maybe the next contract renewal won't have that clause. I find that unlikely.
Jaxson James
Would explain how a lot of them act, that's for sure. Working at a gun store makes you awfully convinced that a majority of boomers have undiagnosed high-functioning autism.
Kayden Ward
yeah haha its a nothingburger just keep doing nothing and things will get better lol lmao
Jacob Hall
Not reloading your own 303. NGMI
Joshua Richardson
The reason why the US always seems to be running short on (cheap) ammo is because manufacturers simply don't want to invest into new factories and the securing the inputs like copper. They much rather cruise on high sales. They don't want to do capital-heavy investments into new capacity because they fear that current demand is transitory. They understand all the gun and ammo buying is based on fear of gun control and panic based on short supply.
Elijah Russell
>They don't want to do capital-heavy investments into new capacity because they fear that current demand is transitory. and they would be right. every business i know is just holding steady especially with recession on the horizon. no one is looking to expand right now.
William White
The mil surplus was what was keeping profitability down. Once prices go up again someone will step in to fill the demand. That is until the next administration revokes this order because the gov needs the money. Either way we still get our ammo and it teaches the newfags the importance of having a 10 year supply of ammo on hand at all times.
Adrian Sullivan
I voted Biden and I'm starting to regret it. Trump would have done the same thing I guess so it doesn't really matter right?
David Lee
Texas says otherwise, blackpilled doomcuck.
Owen Perry
So does Florida. Cubans hate leftism for a reason--they've seen how shitty it is.

>lake city ammo
absolute garbage rejected/defect ammo, at least the civilian stuff is, you can google and find horror stories from federal,winchester made lake city, it's garbage.
is right. cope harder cope giga cope you wont do anything about your rights being taken, no one ever fucking does. >OH JUST WAIT TILL THE ATF COMES TO MY DOOR, ILL SURE SHOW THEM HEHEHEHE no you wont, you wont do a fucking thing. you are all cowards living as serfs to those that are slowly taking your rights, be it by private industry or executive decree. you are all pathetic and deserve everything coming to you. everything you say and do are as empty as your souls, you are NPC's larping at being aware while you wait for a hero to do it all for you. news flash, there are no heroes left in man. inb4 >fedboi/glowie cowards like you deserve everything you are getting, you can rage/cope/seethe all you want but you know its true.
Dylan Cox
Did you read the post I replied to? Are the Russians coming to take my guns or is it my own government?
>I hate the guy fucking up life in America, but I want him to continue fucking up life in Russia. Shockingly, some people are able to have two different thoughts in their mind at once. I know I know. It's a challenge for an obvious vatnik to have anything on his mind beyond his need to get another hit of krokodil, but this is how things often are in the west.
Asher Wood
Not a single fucking American would pair that picture with that statement. You're glowing like the fucking sun, Ivan.
Luke Fisher
Why support a nation with a government that don't even allow their citizens to own a tenth of what the average US citizen gets to buy off the shelf.
Kevin Walker
Literally both?
Jeremiah Torres
Look at how Peleton got fucked in this regard. They bet on an unending pandemic and workout-from-home being the new normal, and are stuck with a $400 million factory that they're gonna auction off for pennies on the dollar as demand continues to plummet. Unfortunately the ammo companies are being very smart by simply making money hand over fist running at capacity 24/7.
Daniel Ramirez
Literal fear mongering and misinformation. Very cool, TTAG, thank you.
Jaxson Robinson
>Winchester was allowed to use the machine downtime to make commercial product in-between military production, No, but they are allowed to "dispose" of quality control rejected ammo, it just seems they are making a policy that it cant be sold anymore.
Lucas Gray
Wonderful news! The Second Amendment only protects the rights of police, the military, and private security. Mall ninjas and wannabe confederates have no right to deadly weapons. >but I want to overthrow the government! Die in jail.

man. what the fuck.
Alexander Brown
Let me ask again. Is it the (((American))) government coming for my guns or is it Russia? Answer.
Stop shooting up schools and they'll stop trying to take your guns away. You sick incel freaks are the reason for this and nothing else. Gun ownership is a right. But rights come with responsibilities and that includes not murdering classrooms full of kids. I vote straight ticket GOP and I fully support mandatory may-issue, federal red flag laws, magazine limits and gun safety laws. None of them will have any impact on how I enjoy and use my guns but they will help stop this nonsense. And you have only yourselves to blame.
Levi Murphy
Russia's threatening to nuke anyone they don't like whenever they don't get their way. "Destroying global civilization" is a fair step above "Biden's an asshole with a finite amount of time in office/on earth"
Carter Sanchez
you are responding to a bot. when you see weird responses to stuff like that or oddly phrased wording, just sage it.

I still own my firearms and plenty of my family members and friends still do and I live in the shitty state of CA. None have taken our firearms. Not for the lack of trying, the retarded politicians are trying their damnest to infringe the 2A.

Fuck off retarded slav cocksucker.

Jace Hernandez
with how incompetent your king is, you just might invade another country to try to stay in power for 2024.
I hold no beliefs that you want your government to do what it does to you, I only say that you are and will do nothing about it because you are coward with the hopes a hero comes to save you. you will comply, you will surrender and you will obey because your motto is verba non acta, words not actions. in case you do not understand I translate it for you, I am nice this way yes?.
Landon Flores
>produced in excess So they'll just produce more specifically for the civilian market. And non-US mfgs will also be available. Don't keep panic buying because of scare tactics. You dumb fags are why ammo still costs what it does. Biden and the dems don't want to restrict firearms any more than they have to to win votes, they are just as hand-in-glove with arms manufacturers as anyone

Billions in damages across the country and what is the result? fewer boots for you to lick, this is a positive though you do not see it that way, and many more criminals get to go free because of your corrupt soros DA's. but you may continue coping that you will do something when society falls as if it did not during the riots.

Why do you think your rights are being taken by the group that sticks together no matter what? Because you individualists are by nature a weak people that will not fight for eachother. >Nor do I expect or want a sole hero to swoop in to do something, you type like someone from reddit who's fixated on comic book or kikeywood superhero stories. this is very nice cope, you have been brought to believe a hero is someone that is from the movies, a hero is someone that can lead.

Neck yourself. To pretend the Soviet Union doesn't cast a long shadow over the russian federation is ridiculous and ignores the shit their leaders say out loud.
He is pulling it from his ass based on old, Obama era numbers, completely ignoring the rise of new gen repubs (Trump-Desantis types) that are attracting latinos as well as the downfall of the cuckhold neocons.
Both FL and TX have been secured for republicans thanks to the present latinos rebelling and leaving the democrat plantation. In TX because guess what, they dont like illegal pacos moving in on their turf to sell drugs and demand gibs and in FL there are cubans who recognize the woketard democrats for what they really are.
