After Boston is our reloading hobby at serious risk?

I'm not really a tinfoil hat type guy but, we're having trouble getting guns. We're told it's rise in demand. Okay, that makes sense.

We're having trouble getting ammo. We're told it's our fault, it's hoarding behavior. No, no, it has nothing to do with large ammo orders placed by the government. Okay...I guess that makes sense too, kinda makes sense anyway. Doesn't them buying even in moderate size batches right now reduce our civilian supplies though?

The only other alternative is reloading. Okay, I'll just do that then. But...Supplies are already slim. Hoarding again according to those in the know. Okay, again, I guess, It didn't seem to me like there were many people who were into reloading, but maybe a lot of folks are thinking like me.

Now comes this bombing and you know darn well if gunpowder was involved we will see a strong attempt to restrict access to it.

Our Presidency is based around a successful Chicago Politician. I grew up in the city that was dominated by crooked union thugs and mob bosses. It was pretty ugly until the Steel Mill shut down. The Italian mob problems were documented as starting in the early 1900's. I know what that means, ruthless, capable of almost anything, and regardless of party affiliation, used to making ugly back alley deals to accomplish their goals.

Okay, I'm sorry, now this is starting to sound like a bad conspiracy movie. Each fact is easily explained, but you start looking at them together they are starting to stink.

What occurs to me is this; how much time and money would it take to accumulate this list a year ago?

1) One fairly inexpensive normal capacity(10+ rounds) 9mm pistol, 2-3 magazines, and 500-1000 rounds good SD ammo for it.

2) One reasonably priced AR or other similar functioning Semi(.223), 3-5 normal capacity(20-30 round) magazines and 500-1000 rounds good ammo for such.

How much time and money would it take now, and how many more jurisdictions is it going to be illegal in six months from now?

I'm not ready to put my tinfoil hat on yet, but I'm definitely a getting a great deal more skeptical. I think it's time to start looking hard at proof for any new or continuing excuses. I believe these explanations for now, but.....
 
I want the truth to come out and until then I'm not going to make any speculations on conspiracy. But I will go with what you said ScrubCedar, I have the gut feeling Americans will be subjected to extreme limitations on ammo before the end of 2013. I felt this even before this incident in Boston. No I can't afford to hoard ammo so I'm not doing so. Not into reloading yet either because of my living situation. I have what I have and I bassically have cut my range time down a lot, haven't been to the range since feburary. I'm a half decent shot so I'm ok with storing what I have and not shooting anytime soon. I'll be waiting to see if things calm down, my guess is they won't. November of last year is proving its consequences.
 
Powder Sales

Black powder and
And other powders too.

http://www.lautenberg.senate.gov/newsro ... id=341435&

"Lautenberg will introduce the “Explosive Materials Background Check Act,” which will:

· Require a background check to purchase black powder, black powder substitute, smokeless powder, or any other explosive, in any quantity;

· Provide the Attorney General with the authority to stop the sale of explosives when a background check reveals that the applicant is a known or suspected terrorist and the Attorney General reasonably believes that the person may use the explosives in connection with terrorism; and
"
· Make it illegal to manufacture homemade explosives without a permit. "
 
Perhaps a silly question, but smokeless powder would not produce a smoke cloud like that, would it? Obviously in the small quantities fired through our rifles we don't see it (unlike black powder), but in large quantities... IDK?

Scrubcedar, all of the ammo and reloading component (and until recently black rifle and semiauto pistol) shortages are nothing new! 2008 saw the SAME thing when Obama was elected.
 
Smoke isn't always smoke. And smokeless powder still creates some sort of visible vapor that may be referred to as smoke. You can see it trickle out of a shotgun. But the cloud you're talking about is also the blast wave- the concussive force on the air, the disturbed dust and detritus on the ground being sucked up into that air.
 
Blackpowder was not used in the two Boston bombs. Neither was smokeless powder. The explosions have the characteristics of a homemade explosive, perhaps one containing sugar. The home made explosive of choice for mid-east terrorists is TATP. TATP can be detonated by the application of heat. TATP can be used as a booster explosive to detonate other less sensitive explosives.


One federal law enforcement source told CNN's Deborah Feyerick the devices contained "low-velocity improvised explosive mixture -- perhaps flash-powder or sugar chlorate mixture likely packed with nails or shrapnel."

An explosives expert told CNN the yellowness of the flame probably came from carbon or some organic fuel such as sugar that contains it. The expert, who is frequently consulted by the FBI and other government agencies, said the white smoke made it "unlikely that a military-grade high explosive, such as those used in shells and bombs, which is usually grey or black, was used."

Evil has no Experation Date !!!

Fellows, at this time, I don't see this going anywhere as the timing is not good. These Gun-Grabbers have gone to the well once to often, lately. They are regrouping and getting ready for the next round/election. I too am getting ready by making an additional donation to the NRA and SAF. .... ;)

I was reading through some really old American Riflemen, from the 60's and heck, we were fighting these same battles back then. I won't be around but sure that the next generation will also be facing this fight. .... :eek:

Be Safe !!!
 
If O'man can make millions of Illegal aliens "Legal" with a pen stroke.....

He can do the opposite for us ..

with a pen stroke make Millions of Legal gun owners into "Illegals"

and I don't see any reason he won't at least attempt it... He promised it
just after he was elected (again)

the show is JUST starting

Hey, good news, well sort of, with the shootout and chase with explosives tossed, early reports are that military grade explosives were found(C4). Now where did they get their hands on C4, mabe from the Fast and
Furious crowd, or from Eric Holder's personal stash?:confused::eek:
 
Where did you hear that? Every report I've read is that the explosives were not high-grade, but low-grade, meaning they weren't military grade, not C4, and not Dynamite.
 
I haven't seen anyone but Dianne Sawyer having a day so bad she confused the B-52 with the B-25 suggest the West, Texas explosion to be anything but an accident.

However, these dangerous fertilizers are already regulated heavily. Only the merchants, and farmers are realistically able to get and use them, after heavy background checks. This is due to the Oklahoma City bombing.
