No more mail order ammo?

Without a doubt the firearms community have more fear mongers than any other industry. And for a lot of those that strike fear in the hearts of gun owners do it for financial gain. And we, as gun owners, get drawn right in and perpetuate things like our current ammunition shortage/gouging.

Ever since I first really started watching gun related legislation there have been some insane bills. I remember legislation against "sniper" rifles in response to he DC sniper. It said something like any gun capable of 3" groups or smaller would be banned but like all the other crazy legislation it went no where. I also remember legislation introduced to tax ammunition by the round at a crazy rate. A lot of the bills introduced are done so with no intention of them ever being passed into law. They are introduced so they can tell those they represent they are doing this or doing that. And it happens on all sides.

I wonder how many of these people that introduce the legislation have stock in publicly traded arms companies. Introduce something restricting and watch your product price soar....kind of like Pete Rose for guns.

"Feel good legislation" at its finest.
