Notes from the Resistance
China’s New Export Restriction Choke Hold on Critical U.S. Ammunition Components, Are You Prepared? [More]
No, if course I’m not prepared. No one is prepared for the larger issue of critical material supplies that can be cut off at any time in the hands of those who want to eat us.
And that’s just the way the men behind the curtain want things.
Unlike FOIA requests, which can ask for records, the committee can ask questions and has subpoena power to cut through to the chase and get them answered. [More]
Getting a simple question answered shouldn’t take an act of Congress, presuming House Oversight Republicans will act…

Judge shoots down Cabela’s bid to stymie Delaware probe into thousands of rounds of ammo shoplifted from Christiana Mall store – One thief says she stole 500,000 bullets because security was lax. For 18 months, the retailer has fought a state subpoena seeking loss-prevention records. [More]
Not that we can take her word for it, but still…
Coming from a policies and procedures background, this appears all so unnecessary, especially for a corporation with such organizational resources to ensure compliance.

Massachusetts Senators Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) asking it to “closely examine” facial recognition-enabled ammunition vending machines that have recently been installed in supermarkets in certain states. [More]

At about 4:50 in, they talk about the FOIA request appeal.

Ask a simple question — get no answer…
Ammo vending machines may soon arrive in Florida grocery stores [Watch]
Sorry, but they lost me at Number 3.

Thankfully, the House of Representatives has passed GOA-backed H.R. 615 which would END Biden’s backdoor attempt at banning lead ammo. But now, we need your help urging the Senate to stop Biden’s lead ammo ban. [More]
It’s time once more to show we’re not the ones throwing them under buses.
And this one has a chance of passing, too:

I imagine guys like Tester and Manchin would be hard-pressed to vote against it…

How long Alliant’s absence from the reloading marketplace may last is unknown. [More]
This is a job for… Joe Biden…?
To make funds available for the preservation of commercial manufacturing capability for defense grade nitrocellulose.

On Thursday, US District Judge Frank P. Geraci denied a request by gun-rights advocates to block enforcement of a New York law requiring ammunition sales to be handled by a licensed dealer and subject to a background check for the purchaser. He determined that the law fit within the country’s historical tradition of gun regulation… [More]
