By crook…
The war on guns continues with this administration!
This morning, a briefing will be held by the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) for “the Hill” regarding their interim rule regarding the “pause” on the issuance of new government licenses for firearms, related components and ammunition for “nongovernmental end users.”
The Outdoor Wire has learned the Commerce Department plans to make that “pause” on the issuance of new export licenses for firearms, related components and ammunition permanent.
That announcement, we’ve learned, could come as soon as tomorrow and “most definitely” by the first of next week.
More than a few United States Senators are already less than thrilled at what they call yet another example of Biden administration bureaucratic overreach, but there’s little they can do at this point.
If Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo presses forward with the change and Congress can’t reverse it, the costs to the gun industry could be as much as $238 million in annual revenues.

What is the true potential? IMHO, it’s running a lot of small operators who make custom stuff out of business, along with specialty manufacturers of parts/equipment. This will also impact foreign sales of ammunition as the BIS will be determining ‘who’ is government and who is not on the end user (receiving end).
If they stop the gun manufacturers from exporting then they can stop all American manufacturers from selling and exporting what they produce. That would have a devistating effect on trade and the economy with a large loss of good paying jobs. These evil leftists will stop at nothing to try and destroy America. Anyone who votes for these people is not a true American!
Cloward-Piven strategy
The Biden administration literally abandoned arms worth millions (billions?) of dollars in Afghanistan. The Biden administration is selling and/or giving away arms worth billions to Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, etc… But, somehow, it’s bad that private manufacturers can export their products.
Keep that up and you won’t get a cot near the stove and your food ration card will get lost.
Stove? There will be no coal or other fuel for it the way things are going, much less access to gun fodder.
Yup. Death by 1000 cuts. With an axe. Any reloaders out there been able to buy larger rifle primers recently?
It took a year to find small pistol mag primers. (Now, I can’t find H110, so after the pound I have is gone, I need to work up another load. Sigh.) I’m told that LR primers show up sporadically at the Not-Cabelas (Sportsman’s Warehouse), but it’s usually 1 brick at a time, and it’s sold out in an hour. They say that they’ll announce shipment receipts on their Facebook page, but I don’t give Zuck any fodder.
The other suspects haven’t seen Large Rifle primers in a few years.
Neanderpundit had to buy way more than he wanted to get what he wanted, but he did.
Many years ago a relative by marriage was a Federal government auditor. His standard opening was, “Show me your enabling legislation”.
Today, the response would be, “Huh?”
All- Yeah, I hadn’t ‘thought’ about primers and cases, but that too… sigh… And Lake City not being allowed to sell to the public!
One of my prized possessions is a 50 cal ammo can 2/3 full of once fired LC ’77 Match 308 brass. Obviously acquired decades ago. These days I wonder how long before even spent brass winds up being declared by .gov to be contraband.
It occurs to me that the batfags have inadvertently shot themselves in their collective foots with this one. IF – as they have decreed – selling one firearm makes one a dealer (without an ffl), it seems to me that everyone who owns at least one firearm should apply for a Class I firearms license. Being as how under earlier rulings they determined that all of the old “kitchen table dealers” could have not licenses because zoning etc., with this ruling they have decreed that anyone selling a firearm must be a dealer so obviously the old “must have a suitable bidness address” no longer applies. . . kitchen table here I come, heh, heh, heh.
The criminals holding the puppet strings for this administration haven’t been able to ram the gun confiscation and bans they want through congress. Therefore they intend to accomplish their goals piecemeal via the Executive Order/Bureaucratic edict method. They will simply chip away at it till the Right essentially no longer exists. At this point there is basically nothing “we the people” can do about it…at least nothing legal or peaceful.
