Angry Say goodbye to Lake City ammo, y'all

Reports: Biden admin orders ammo maker to stop selling 5.56 rounds to Americans

The Biden administration has reportedly ordered an ammunition manufacturer to stop selling Americans some 5.56mm rounds, which is the most common for the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle.

In an effort to severely limit the sale of ammo used in AR-15s, the U.S. military has ordered Winchester – which manages the U.S. Army’s Lake City ammunition plant – to stop selling its excess M855/SS109 (5.56mm) ammo to the public, The Truth About Guns reported citing a source close to the matter.

The Lake City plant, located in Independence, Missouri, produces nearly 30 percent of the commercial market’s sales of 5.56 ammo.

Larry Keane, the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s general counsel and senior vice president, first revealed the administration’s plans in a tweet on Wednesday.

“The U.S. Military is actively considering shutting down the sale is M855/SS109 ammo from Lake City to the commercial market. @NSSF @NRAILA #GreenTipAmmo @POTUS @JoeBiden,” Keane tweeted.

BREAKING NEWS: The U.S. Military is actively considering shutting down the sale is M855/SS109 ammo from Lake City to the commercial market. @NSSF @NRAILA #GreenTipAmmo @POTUS @JoeBiden
— Larry Keane (@lkeane) June 15, 2022

The cartridges that Keane mentioned are very popular forms of 5.56 ammo. The Biden administration’s new order will likely disrupt the supply of 5.56 ammo and cause prices to increase.

The Lake City plant is owned by the federal government but operated by private contractors, according to the National Rifle Association, and produces “well over a billion rounds of ammunition per year.”

“Ammunition in excess of the government’s requirements has long been made available to the private commercial market. Lake City’s output, according to some estimates, accounts for one-third of the 5.56 caliber ammunition available to U.S. consumers,” the NRA continued. “Needless to say, this attack on America’s ammunition supply is just the most recent in a long line of anti-freedom attacks by the Biden Administration.”

The restriction of Americans’ ammo supply is the latest anti-gun action supported by President Joe Biden, who has repeatedly called for the outright ban of AR-15 rifles. Biden praised a recent bipartisan agreement on new gun control measures – which includes incentives for state-run gun confiscation – but argued it still isn’t enough.

“Obviously, it does not do everything that I think is needed, but it reflects important steps in the right direction, and would be the most significant gun safety legislation to pass Congress in decades,” Biden said in a White House statement on Sunday. “With bipartisan support, there are no excuses for delay, and no reason why it should not quickly move through the Senate and the House. Each day that passes, more children are killed in this country: the sooner it comes to my desk, the sooner I can sign it, and the sooner we can use these measures to save lives.”
Not satisfied with making gas unaffordable and taking away tampons from Americans, now he's going after ammo.

All part of the DS plan. Reduce food , reduce fuel and want to break the middle class to make everyone dependent on the .gov for help. If you don't accept / play by THEIR rules, no support.

I'm sure the the workers are pleased that some will be laid off and the OT will disappear, but I guess they can all learn to code.

This move not only ****s over the American citizens, it also ****s over military readiness, as in an emergency, there won't be excess capacity that can be diverted to the military. There won't be the employees or ability to run full tilt available on a moment's notice. So this is a two-fer win for the Brandon regime.....disarm Americans AND weaken the military.

Winning.

So. Much. Winning.

I have always had the habit to stock ammo for all the pew pews we have.

Glad I did!

How can he order them to stop selling excess to the public? They are not a government entity under his control, but only under contract to supply ammo to the government? If I were them I'd tell Joesama bin Hiden to eat a dick or go for another bike ride without a helmet.

Lake City is owned by the DoD. Winchester is contracted to operate the plant.

It will be interesting to see what the actual contracts state, as if I were Winchester, I would double the price of ammo to the DoD to make up for losses on the civilian side. And publish the crap out of the new costs.

The Brandon regime is still paying the border wall builders NOT to build the wall, do you think they GAF about violating a contract with Winchester, or about incurring higher costs for a purely political decision?

This is all part of the demoralization campaign. And hey, I bet those laid off workers are union members, just like some of the KeystoneXL ppl workers. But hey, Lunchbucket Joe really cares about the working man. Maybe the ammo makers can learn to code or something.

What Biden underestimates is my willingness to stop paying for internet, cable, cell phones, full coverage insurance, buying new clothes etc. to KEEP my gas guzzler and KEEP buying ammo.

The only reason that place is still open is due to the commercial ammo they are able to make per their contract. The military orders are very low right now
