Absolutely no foreign citizens, or American citizens without extreme vetting, should be allowed to purchase ammunition manufacturers in the US. Foreigners should not be allowed to own any US business of importance, including meat packing plants.

When u say vetted I'm assuming you mean kick backs to powerful people

Was in the Academy store in Springfield, Mo. a couple of weeks ago and the ammo shelves were full. They had anything you would want.
Stopped back in day before yesterday (Thursday) and the shelves were half empty. And naturally the herd is panic buying again. So, here we go again.

In a two weeks time we have had happen:
The Lake City plant shutting down civilian sales,
A big fire at the Hornady Plant in Nebraska,
The Israel mess.
The Vista Group got sold outside to foreigners.

That Czech consortium that bought The Vista Group, (Federal CCI etc.) is supplying a lot of the ammo that is getting used in Ukraine. I'd read they were having trouble meeting production demands for that. So, I suspicion their loyalty may not lie with the American shooter/sportsman.

No, I don't consider vetting paying kickbacks. I have more faith in the United States then you do. By vetted i mean an investigation into the potential owner so that anyone found to be an actual or potential security risk to our country, will not be permitted to own the businesses.

You mean vetted by the administration that left billions of weapons to the Taliban for free..... The ones that is financing Hamas via Iran...... those folks ??? Or someone else... Could it be the ones that sold of part of the strategic fuel reserve to China ??? Or ............... Its quite a list.

Walmart here had 1000 round boxes of 22 for 74 bucks after tax.
last weekend.

If they start to pump out ammo and primers, I'm all for someone taking them over.

Doesnt sound promising especially if military stops producing. Sounds strategic.

I've lost faith in the Govt., they couldn't tell the truth if it made a better story! I watch what they do not what they say.

Do you think it would be better to do nothing and let vital US industries become owned and controlled by foreigners and even in some cases enemies like Russia and China?

What's the solution?

Keith I don't think he's against the vetting I just don't think most trust the federal government to do what's in the best interests of this country anymore.

me neither...proven!

As of right now there is a fair amount of supply out there other than large rifle primes.

Gear up boys.

True,
Powder is more common at a price, but primers are just about non-existent unless you get lucky and a shipment just came in as you're at the store! lol

Everyone (outside the USA) knows that in the USA the almighty dollar rules everything. and everyone.
Everything and everyone there can be bought or sold.
Capitalism at its finest.
Nationalizing industies is taboo.

Seemed to be true everywhere in the world that I"ve travelled.

Did you travel in 3rd world countries.
