AMMUNITION BAN RUMORS
Contrary to widespread rumors, the President has not
implemented any new ban on ammunition imports. There has,
however, been a delay in the processing of some import permit
applications for ammunition and magazines. Under the Arms Export
Control Act, the Administration has forbidden imports of guns,
gun parts, and ammunition made in the U.S. and shipped overseas
under military assistance programs. The State Department is now
trying to extend that policy to goods that they suspect were
built with licensed U.S. technology -- for example, ammunition
made on an overseas assembly line that a Cold War ally set up
under license from the State Department. Bottom line: the
Clinton/Gore administration is still trying to use foreign policy
to attack the firearms industry. NRA-ILA will continue to work
with the Congress to change this policy and defend the interests
of American gun owners.
