Russian AK 47 ammo ban.

Hmmm. Not necessarily.

WWII comes to mind...

I guess I'm not following this train of thought?

Tooling up for WWII after Pearl Harbor created an industrial/jobs increase like no other in U.S. history AFAIK.

But the death toll was horrific. :/

The comment "not necessarily" is what threw me.

Well... you said, "Anything that brings jobs to the US is a win right?"

Hence my "Not necessarily" comment.

I'm still not following. I said anything that brings jobs to the US is a win, and you disagreed by "not necessarily", then I didn't get the reference to WWII in conjunction with "not necessarily". Maybe I'm reading it all wrong.

WWII brought a lot of jobs and industry to the US.

But given the resulting death toll, I wouldn't necessarily consider it a "win" for the US.

I'm going to do my part and start buying all the cheap imported stuff I can find.

Anything? No. Not anything.

As discussed in other threads. The artificial creation of jobs through the banning of imports might help one sector of the economy, but it always hurts other sectors. Not to mention the increase in ammo prices that would come with such a ban, even after domestic production was increased to keep up with demand.

The creation of jobs in the U.S. through innovation and efficiency is a win. It's economics, not politics.

Ordered 1k on Saturday from SG ammo along with some other calibers then I got to thinking I should of made it 2k. Might go ahead and get that before the end of the month. With what I already have I'll be in good shape for a while without ordering anymore but hey ya never know. What I am wondering now is how many rounds is considered "evil" by the snowflakes?

So, we are doing the economy right by throwing away any weapon that we can no longer get foreign ammo for and forbid any US manufacturers from producing it, albeit at a possible higher price that open markets should fix in case some other sector may be hurt.
What other sectors may be hurt by this? I’m curious.
We are discussing Eastern Bloc ammunition here.
