I want/need to know what it's all about for getting the right info out there.It's an article saying Obama is going to make everyone who reloads their own ammo get a license from the "state". Anyone know what this is all about?

5. There's nothing in the treaty..
Edited on Wed Apr-22-09 02:53 PM by X_Digger
.. that explicitly excludes home reloaders from these provisions that anyone has noticed.

If it were followed to the letter, yes, it would prohibit reloading without a license. No word from the administration as to how it would be interpreted, but not likely to affect home reloading unless you were trucking them down to the border.

eta: better link

6. Sounds like a bunch of bullshit - oh yes, WND you say?
Edited on Wed Apr-22-09 02:42 PM by TornadoTN
Complete, unadulterated bullshit.

I don't see this on anyone's radar aside from these morons trying to whip their frenzied base up for a non-existent issue. The bill that passively mentions this is dead in the water.

7. I think Tom Tomorrow has the answer
"It's been three entire months since Obama took office -- and I've been driven to the BRINK by the policies he's enacting in my imagination!"

9. More marketing. Now that they sold all the AK's, and bullets...
Edited on Wed Apr-22-09 03:02 PM by Bonhomme Richard
they now want to encourage a rush of home loaders to go out and clear the shelves of powder, etc, etc.
What a bunch of morons.
The next thing is to spike the archery market. Obama is planing to take all your bows and arrows away.

11. Thom Hartmann talked about this
ONE sponsor (Rep. Holt), ZERO co-sponsors, written in response to a gangland shooting in his district.

It won't even be brought to the floor.
