The federal government has banned the importation of plentiful and affordable Russian ammo, using an obscure “vaporware” Polish firearm as an excuse to suddenly call the ammo ‘armor piercing’.
The ban of this affordable ammo comes on the heels of DHS buying 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition (depleting the market) and the closure of the last lead smelter plant in America by the EPA, which has effectively dried up ammunition supply lines and driven up costs greatly.
The feds are preparing for war with the American people, and drying up supply lines is part and parcel to any war.
The feds recently used an obscure “vaporware” Polish firearm as an excuse to outlaw the importation of cheap and plentiful Russian ammo into the United States.
The BATFE has determined the 7N6 cartridge is armor piercing and therefore illegal under the Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968 as amended in 1986.
As noted by The Bangswitch blog on Tuesday, the Russian ammo was not an issue with the federal government until the suspicious introduction of a 5.45×39 handgun on the U.S. market.
“Until one did appear, 7N6 surplus could flow freely from Russia, Ukraine and other sources. However, it would only be a matter of time before someone got the bright idea to produce a 5.45×39 pistol domestically or someone applied for a Form 6 to import one,” the blog reports.
The BATFE issued a Special Advisory memo on April 7 claiming the ammo “could be used in a commercially available handgun, the Fabryka Bronie Radom, Model Onyks 89S, 5.45×39 caliber semi-automatic pistol, which was approved for importation into the United States in November 2011.”
The federal agency’s “determination applies only to the Russian-made 7N6 ammunition analyzed, not to all 5.45×39 ammunition. Ammunition of that caliber using projectiles without a steel core would have to be independently examined to determine their importability,” the advisory states.
“This seems a bit fishy to me since it rarely takes the BATFE almost 2 years to ban something once they have cause,” notes the military arms channel blog. “It’s also worth mentioning that several companies such as Robinson Armament and JBI Armory have produced 5.45×39 handguns domestically for several years and we didn’t hear so much as a peep out of the BATFE until 2014.”
The blog notes a Google search of the firearm produces no results with the exception of those mentioned in articles and posts noting the government action. “It’s so obscure in fact that only 200 were produced in Poland and to my knowledge none were ever imported nor sold on the U.S. market as semi-automatic pistols.”
Gun Owners of America, in a post in Ammoland, characterizes the BATFE ruling as a “strained and perverted reading” of what constitutes armor piercing ammunition. The ruling constitutes government fiat without any statutory authority whatsoever, according to the Second Amendment advocacy group.
The sneaky back door ruling is designed to shut down a much needed source of affordable and readily available ammunition. Moreover, the move appears to have an underlying political dimension due to the fact the ammo is imported from Russia, once again an officially denoted enemy following developments in Ukraine.
Unable to ram through draconian gun laws in Congress, the Obama administration and assorted federal government agencies are working behind the scenes to dry up and shut down the availability of ammunition.
Why does DHS need so much ammo, to secure the country for muzzies and illegals?

TREASON!!!!
That’s NUTS! We may need that ammo to fight them off?
Huh. The timing would indicate to me further sanctions against Russia for the Ukraine crisis. Perhaps only a coincidence of timing…..
THAT WASN’T VERY SMART !
okay I’m at it again, it’s going to be called what would you do if you were president of the United States of America, seems pretty simple, first thing term limits for all politicians, and the Supreme Court, no-brainer right, second thing the pay scale to be set for everyone working in the government,would be exactly the same for those in the military, no one would make less than the lowest paid soldier, and no one would make more than the highest ranking soldier, and the benefits would be the same as the members of the military receive, all government employees would receive the same healthcare benefits as those in the military. Number three, any politician working for the government would have to sign a contract, called treason act, this would only be for politicians, any politician violating there constitutional oath of office, would lose all benefits, and would be subject to lawsuits by every citizen of the United States, number four, Congress or the Senate could pass no bills that would increase any member of the Congress or the Senate pay scale or benefits, this must be done through popular vote across the country, five no one could run for public office, in Congress in the Senate,or presidency, without being a third-generation born American,I haven’t had my coffee yet so I’m just getting started, okay now it’s your turn, what would you do if you were president ? copy and paste this, and then add your comment to what you would do if you were president, for example anyone here illegally, will be given three months to leave, if you are caught here illegally, you will be put into jail and you will serve one day for every day you are here illegally, and then be deported back to your country, the day of your release,and this would be retroactive 10 years from the date of your presidency, there you go, now add your comment.
