I was given a very large cardboard box of scrapped, new Cheddite hulls, years ago, that were rejected by the Estate factory and thrown out. Those which had made it through most of the loading process, and then found to be substandard or damaged, had been cut open and the components salvaged by Estate. Many are brand new primed hulls. I have been salvaging the Cheddite primers over the years, as needed. Didn't know how well they would work after being "punched" out of the hulls and seated in another hull, but they have worked just fine. No problems with them backing out, or not being tight enough. I didn't know, when they were given to me, how valuable those primers would one day be!

For sale: 10,000 rounds of 5.56 ammo. They are the green tipped rounds, you know the ones that pretty much all shooting ranges prohibit but they are just what you need for a zombie apocalypse.

If you haven't already familiarize yourself with the National Firearms Safety Act H.R. 5717 introduced a year ago in the US House of Representatives. It didn't go anywhere in 2020 but could return this year with a much greater chance of being passed into law. If passed as written it includes a 50% excise tax on ammunition and components. If passed it will certainly cut that potential loss from the high prices people are paying today. That bill also includes a 30% excise tax on firearms.

I get the point you are trying to make and agree but if you read the proposed bill the money collected is supposed to be directed at safety education as it relates to firearms.

It actually contains many things most of us would not like or agree to. Such as all sales have to go through a dealer. Minimum age to buy a gun is 21. A license is required to own and purchase including ammo. Safe storage requirements for guns. No shotgun can have more than 5 round capacity. A ban on suppressors and mufflers. Assault weapon ban as defined. That is just a few of the things I remember, it's very long and contains a lot of restrictions and requirements. It's all here if you care to read it.

And some wonder why there is "hoarding" of all ammunition and components? Just look at today's circumstances.
Chances are we'll all be closet felons in just a few months...

It is never about safety. If it was about safety, it would actually make sense.
It is about trying to reduce the number of guns in peoples possession. Period.
