I saw a T-shirt once that said: If they come for your guns and ammo, give them the ammo first.

You ever make any? It's easy to make a slow-burning gunpowder that fouls everything it touches. You can make firecrackers out of it, and it will shoot in a muzzleloader, but you may not get a quick enough burn rate to make gas-operated firearms usable, and it's for certain with 18 and 20 inch barrels you won't capture a whole lot of the potential.

Other than that...

Washington D.C. Ammunition Ban Violates Second Amendment | Islandlaw Constitutional Rights Pages

Otherwise, at least two things.

With suggestions like this, is it any wonder why people keep thousands of rounds around......and then others have the gall to call them gun nuts.

Secondly, do realize that such "attitudes" could be the death of the funding for this or that state's wildlife preserves.

Remember when they explained that once the bullets have been fired from the high capacity magazines that are out there, they'll be used up and eventually there won't be any left?


These people are voted in to create laws! You can't make this stuff up!

Maybe we should ship all the gun grabbers to some island like Guam and hope it capsizes!

Fail.

have you ever opened up a chemistry book? there are a lot of chemical combinations that can be used to make smokeless gunpowder. black powder is simple to make, smokeless powder is only a little harder.

They already have in California. Well not really but now you have to have a background check and get a card that costs $50 a year to buy ammo. No more internet purchases you have to buy from a approved dealer only. And there is a limit to how much you can buy.

Look how well that's working out for the liberal utopia Kalifornia!

Doesn't seem to be slowing down the bad guys any.

We can reuse primers and it's easy to make powder.
