    So reading through the article ATF's classification of wetted nitrocellulose has changed.
    This may present a hardship to the manufactures of smokeless powders, primers and ammunition but doesn't impact storing or record keeping of smokeless powder, or ammunition.

    And the industry if smart should withhold all shipments of completed ammunition, and or smokeless powder to any and all government agencies including the military until the ATF changes their position.
    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    Such ridiculousness. The ATF went full retard on this. Never go full retard.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    More cost and regulations to adhere to for the manufacturers means less supply and higher costs for end users. Notice the ATF included no grace period for the manufacturers to be in compliance. Production will stop until compliance is obtained.

    New license fees, construction of magazines to contain the reclassified "explosive" that has never been a problem, and no doubt new insurance costs.

    How will the manufacturers manage to recoup these costs? We all know the answer to that question.

    Back door gun control again. Guns without ammunition are great door stops.

    Things are really starting to make sense to me now (I know, I'm slow).

    All the ammo stockpiling and weapons buying the government was doing. All this was in the plans. And they knew that the only way that folks would retaliate initially was to cut off the supply of guns and ammo to federal agencies.

    Well, that is what I suggest every manufacturer do. Think they will get behind that?

    Unless you're willing to admit the shortcomings of the staunch republican supporters, I think you'd best step down of your high horse.

    From Google:
    Modern, factory-loaded rounds are designed to function reliably in conditions ranging from the arctic to the tropics. Therefore as long as you prevent exposure to extreme heat, high humidity and temperature fluctuations, your ammunition can be expected to last 10 years.

    So, need to replace your "stockpile" every 10 years or a few misfires aren't a big deal?

    You guys can spin this how you want, but nothing changes the fact that this was done quietly by the ATF. We know who directs the ATF.

    Bammy can't get any "common sense" BS gun control through congress, so here he goes again with back door tactics.

    This reclassification will potentially cause delays in ammo and powder manufacture, and certainly will cause prices to rise.

    Combine this fact with the threat of hitllary in office and we have ammogeddon. [:(!][:(!][:(!]

    Prices will not go down from here on through November. Any mass shooting or terrorist crap on top of election panic will only increase the demand.

    If you need ammo, and who doesn't - get it while you can. Same goes for components. Remember 2008, 2012 and Sandy Hook??

    As long as there are DEMOCRATs in government, your Second Amendment is in jeopardy.

    The end of private gun ownership is a core competency and strategic goal of the DEMOCRAT party. They will not stop until this goal is attained and could care less about any unintended consequence.

    DEMOCRATs will use EVERY tool available to end your Second Amendment rights to include the DOJ, DOT, IRS and every alphabet federal agency to include the ATF. That is every stinking agency.

    The ATF just issued an update to this. They had a bunch of ammo companies contact them over this and they've decided to look into it more so I wouldn't be in some big hurry to clear the shelves of ammo just yet.

    I suspect you are giving them all together too much credit for brains and foresight. Even a blind hog and all that, I think that better describes them.

    From what I have read, "whetted nitrocellulose" is just that, it was not considered explosive because it was wet with water or alcohol. This made it safe for transport and storage until the liquid was removed and it became an explosive again.

    This is how I understand it, I could easily be wrong though, happens all the time. [:)]

    I have not read about just why the ATF decided to reclassify wetted nitrocellulose, maybe they were bored and needed to create new regulations instead of enforcing existing regulations???[;)]

    Or if you put on a tin foil hat it is back door gun control.[:(!]

    Wetting nitrocellulose (with water or alcohol) is exactly how you make it non-explosive. It is non explosive when wet. It's exactly like how tannerite is non-explosive before you mix the parts.

    Possibly, but they feds aren't all looney tunes characters. There are charlatans at the upper echelons who do, in fact plan for the future.
