    I did not confirm the accuracy of this information ............. read and
    research if important to you........

    Subject: Ammo


    Forwarded (without editorializing) for whatever it may be worth.

    You may not know this but George Soros owns most of the ammunition
    manufacturing companies and many arms manufacturers as well. He's selling
    ONLY to the government right now, per WH & DHS orders. My son works for ATK,
    who owns just about all the rest of the ammunition companies that Soros
    doesn't own. He tells me that ATK has been ordered by the federal government
    to curtail sales of ammunition, primers and powder to the retail market.
    What you see currently on the shelves is old stock and what's left in the
    warehouses since the CT shootings and new stock will NOT be appearing
    anytime soon. ATK and Soros' companies have more than enough government
    contracts to keep them going for years to come. Like Soros' companies, ATK
    is a huge defense contractor and they've been told to sell ONLY to the DOD,
    TSA, FBI, DHS and local/federal law enforcement agencies. This is VERY scary
    and VERY ominous for what's coming down the pike in the future.

    My son has seen the proposed pricing schedule for Federal, CCI, Hornady,
    Remington, Winchester and several other ammunition manufacturer's lines of
    ammunition, components, reloading equipment (ATK owns Outers, RCBS, Hoppe
    and a host of others) and he's flabbergasted! As an example, when the sales
    of .22 LR bulk ammo resumes, the pricing will be over $50.00 for a 535-round
    Value Pak! That's nearly a dime-a-shot!! They're also going to raise the
    prices by 300 - 400% on dies, presses, powder measures and the like. He's in
    management there at ATK in Salt Lake City and they're NOT happy with it at
    all! They firmly believe this will basically shut-down the civilian market
    while leaving the government as the only purchaser of their products. He saw
    the government pricing for the centerfire ammunition they've been
    stockpiling and their prices have actually dropped from a year ago so the
    feds are buying this stuff REAL cheap while we can't even get our hands on
    it at all!

    Something I've always said since Obama came onto the scene in 2008 is that,
    even if they can't actually ban the weapons themselves, the government will
    make it nearly impossible for us civilians to feed them with ammo, reloading
    components and the like. The WH doesn't HAVE to actually ban the guns, as
    Biden said in one of his many faux pas, foot-in-the-mouth, Freudian slip
    speeches he's famous for making. " All we have to do is to make it too
    expensive to use them and the public will eventually give them back to us if
    we offer an attractive price for these weapons". What's an "attractive
    price" - a $10.00 Walmart gift card for a $3,000.00 custom hunting rifle?
    Those were his EXACT words in one of the speeches he gave to the freshman
    congressmen last week! Remember, Biden was one of the architects of the
    Clinton gun ban of years ago. I think he's as dangerous to the Second
    Amendment as Obama is, maybe more so, because he's so stupid and doesn't
    know the muzzle of a gun from the butt...

    Feel free to pass this on so gun owners will be aware of what we're up
    against. I doubt the NRA can do anything about it, IMHO. La Pierre can get
    on all the talk shows he's invited to and cry the blues about the assault
    weapons laws that are forthcoming from the WH but the real crux of the
    matter will be whether or not we'll ever be able to purchase ammunition (at
    all) or, if we can, what we'll be paying for it. As an aside, here, I deal a
    LOT with Midsouth Shooters Supply for my reloading components. Two weeks ago
    I ordered 500 cases each of .45 Casull, .44 Magnum, .357 Magnum and 9mm
    Parabellum. I was told everything I had ordered was out-of-stock and no
    in-stock delivery date was being forecast. They wouldn't even accept a
    backorder for this stuff! Think the government isn't manipulating it? Think
    again, my friend...

    Was in a local small sporting goods store that has three locations here in Portland. They had some 22 ammo in. Federal in a 325 round can. Sheesh they were asking 30.00 for it making it right at about .10 Cents a round. I told em no thanks, that's just ridicules. Got over 1000 rounds of 45 that I picked up last summer in bulk.
