A report making the rounds in Canada that says officials have it on "good authority" that our State Department may be on the verge of cutting off all imports of certain calibers of ammunition.

Ammos listed for this rumored ban include the .50BMG, 7.62x39mm Soviet, 7.62x51mm NATO, .308 Winchester, 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington. Additionally, we're hearing that an expansion of this proposed ban might be broadened to include the 6.8mm SPC, 9mm Parabellum, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP- among others.

All the reports I've seen on this state this is a Canadian ban on importing ammo from the US...

{edit: yah, look at the paragraph above what you posted - this is written from the Canadian perspective...)

Im not sure if Canada has a full handgun ban or not.

I have hunted in Northern Alberta for about 10 years and was not allowed to bring a handgun for hunting purposes even 10 years ago.

After reading up on this more, I might have been incorrect earlier - it appears the Canadians are suggesting OUR state dept will implement this ammo import ban.

We'll see...

Great.........like its not hard enough to get ammo these days. So I guess it may become "buy it expensive, and stack it deep"
