[QUOTE="cjjtulsa, post: 2058018, member: 6146"] Understand, though, that in 2008 we didn't just have a mass shooting of 20 kids and 6 adults to sway public opinion, either. It's a bit more serious this time around. Having said that, I've been telling everyone I could over the last year or so to buy 7.62x39 - as much as you can hoard. Just as we see the "you dont need an assault rifle" rhetoric, I'm 100% certain you'll hear the same for imported ammo. "7.62x39? That's a military cartridge, not a hunting or sporting cartridge. No one hunts with that, so no one needs that - there are better calibers to use for hunting." And so the ban on imported ammo comes, as there's "no need for the importation of Russian ammunition designed to feed Russian assault weapons - rounds that were designed to kill people, not to hunt". So all imported ammo goes by the wayside, as the easiest way to do it is halt importation of foreign ammo. The only way I see that all of it wouldn't get the axe is if they did the same thing with Russian weapons and ammo as they did with Chinese stuff in 1994. [/QUOTE]
