    Please!!!! each of us should make use of the public commentary on this issue. The inflammatory rhetoric can be damaging, so keep comments to something like: "I use this ammunition currently for hog hunting. Banning it would harm my sporting use and the clean harvesting of hogs in the timber and brush country I hunt on." OR " I currently shoot NRA approved high-power matches, I use both these types of ammunition due to the fine ballistics at 300 and 600 yards." OR "A ban on this ammunition would harm my long range hunting of coyotes .", etc.

    this has to do with them systematically disarming us.

    Been saying it for years - they will go after ammo, not guns so much. It's more stealthy.

    Just wait till they target reloaders.... under the first clinton regime they floated the idea of requiring licenses to reload, etc. the 2nd clinton regime coming into power in 2017 may may that reality.

    It's coming.

    The talk of the Condor is just a prelude to the complete ban on the use of lead in ammo. It'll be the next thing they are going to ram thru via rulemaking

    should buy some and take the paint off

    Possession would not be illegal for what you already have on hand. They are seeking to ban the manufacture and importation. So, if you use it and/or need it, better buy it now. Gotta feeling supply is gonna go down and prices are going to rise rapidly.

    To ALL,

    As some of you know, I'm a retired county/state/federal LEO & our REAL problem is that we have FAR TOO MANY federal LE agencies "out looking for something to justify their job".
    (The last time that I counted, there were 82 different federal agencies that have sworn officers & each has its own "administrative support force".)

    What we NEED to do is to ABOLISH about 80 of those agencies & reduce the number permanently to the US Postal Inspectors & the US Marshal's Service. Then we should pick the "best of the best" LEO & lay-off or reassign the rest to NON-LE work. - After the current agents leave the government, ABOLISH those positions forever.
    (I'm saying to keep the Postal Inspectors & Marshals because they are mentioned in the US Constitution & it makes NO difference which badge/credential that a LEO carries.)

    The current federal LE situation is FOOLISH, WASTEFUL & NEEDLESS.

    just my OPINION, satx
