Dear David,
Breaking News: Obama ATF Announces Backdoor Ammo Ban!
This is not a drill. The Obama administration just implemented a new regulatory change that has sent the entire firearms industry into a tailspin overnight.
A key ingredient necessary for making gunpowder has been re-classified as a high explosive, making it illegal for any company within the industry to transport or store it as they have for decades.
It all stems from how the ATF regulates a chemical compound known as nitrocellulose. For decades, the firearm industry has been allowed to store and transport wetted nitrocellulose without having to treat it as a high explosive. Manufacturers deliberately mix the chemical compound with water to make it less volatile.
Overnight, the ATF just completely changed its regulations, turning everyone in the ammunition industry into felons if they do business the way they have for decades.
The entire industry is now at a standstill. Without nitrocellulose, you can’t make smokeless gunpowder. Without smokeless powder, there’s no ammunition.
Contact your Congressman please!

There's already a thread on this: Obama's minions now attacking small arms smokeless powder manufacturers

And industry has already been in contact with the BATFE and they are "reconsidering" what was posted in the newsletter.

For now, previously authorized industry practices regarding the handling of wetted NC are unaffected.

So many of these internet alarms.............people will weary of the cries of "WOLF!" and cease to pay attention.

Many already have, even at my gun club. I continue to get emails about stuff that's a year old or more, and has been shown not to be real.

Keep it real, because I want to know when the sky REALLY falls.
