What Obama is doing to us, and You'All

[Sir Charles deMouton-Black]

AMMO, BUY AMMO!



We have it on good authority that the U.S. State Dept is cutting off all Export Permits for certain calibers of ammunition, namely .50BMG, 7.62x39mm Soviet, 7.62x51mm NATO, .308 Winchester, 5.56mm NATO and .223 Remington.  They may also expand the list to include 6.8mm SPC, 9mm Parabellum, .40 S&W, and .45 Automatic, amongst others.  As well, there may be blanket export bans on certain types of firearms and DSP-83 End Use Certificates (with a $250 Export Fee) attached to all other types.   Already, many firearms-related companies are refusing to ship product to Canada because the U.S. required paperwork is simply too excessive to make it profitable and a number of Canadian distributors have had U.S. Export Permits refused for simple sporting arms in prohibited calibers.  Don't be terribly surprised to see reloading components added to the list too!  It appears the anti-gun bureaucrats in the State Department have found a kindred spirit in President-Elect Barack Obama and are revving up the jets on us already.  We have to emphasize that this information comes from a very reliable source and has been independently confirmed but at present, it is still being fought and the battle isn't over yet.  Lots of us are working on this and remember, this is U.S export only and does not affect EU imports.  Firearms and ammunition exported from Europe will be unaffected (at least so far.)   We'll keep you informed as this unfolds.  In the meantime, we suggest you consider stocking up.
