The aforementioned new policy that would have greatly restricted available ammunition on the civilian market has been retracted, thanks evidently to two Democratic senators from Montana.
"Upon review, the Defense Logistics Agency has determined the cartridge cases could be appropriately placed in a category of government property allowing for their release for sale," Cunningham wrote.
The Defense Department liaison was responding to a letter yesterday to the Defense Logistic Agency's Vice Admiral Alan S. Thompson from Tester and fellow Montana Democrat Sen. Max Baucus. The senators argued "prohibiting the sale of fired military brass would reduce the supply of ammunition – preventing individual gun owners from fully exercising their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. We urge you to address this situation promptly."
We don't know the full details behind this story yet, but you can bet there were some calls and letters sent to their offices... Gun owners are not pleased to see their rights being undermined. This is what we need to happen on multiple fronts.
Even small victories are encouraging these days. Hopefully we will see more of this.
