Remember that NYT article on Lake City providing ammo to mass murderers?
NY AG among other AGs are running with it
Ammunition from Lake City is manufactured for military use and does not belong in our communities. Federal courts have repeatedly noted the military nature of 5.56-millimeter rounds, which are used in militaryissued rifles, such as the M-16. Military-style weapons – and the ammunition specifically manufactured for them – should be limited to military use. Even if military-grade ammunition were appropriate for the civilian market, its sale to private parties should not be subsidized by taxpayer dollars.
In the short term, we ask your Office to investigate the contracting and manufacturing practices that led to so many billions of military-grade rounds being sold into our communities, and to issue a public report with recommendations about how to end the diversion of military ammunition into civilian hands. In the long term, we ask the White House to ensure that future production contracts prohibit the sale of military weapons and ammunition to civilians.
We write on behalf of the States of New York, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, the District
of Columbia, Hawai‘i, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey,
New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington (the “States”) to express concern about recent
reports that billions of rounds of military-grade ammunition manufactured at the Lake City Army Ammunition
Plant have been sold on the commercial market, leading to their use in many of the most tragic mass shootings
in recent history. We ask your Office to conduct an investigation into the contracting processes that led to this
situation, and to take action to ensure that military-grade and military-subsidized ammunition stays out of
civilian hands.
According to recent reports, the ammunition made at Lake City for our military has been sold to civilians
in mass quantities, leading to these bullets being used in mass shootings, including a shooting in which three
law enforcement officers were killed and multiple school shootings.1 Lake City rounds have become the
ammunition of choice for use in mass shootings, including:

Seems like River City has found themselves in a pickle. This will set a defining precedence.

I wish I were a judge. I would toss out every one of these clearly frivolous lawsuits and then jail the attourneys for wasting the courts time
@EMPOWR_us has learned through whistleblowers within ATF that at the direction of the White House, ATF has drafted a 1,300 page document to justify a rule effectively banning the private sale of firearms.

I'm sure more info will be forthcoming soon on what is going on here if anything

The administration isn’t satisfied with just a war with Texas, they want the rest of us in on it too…

Now we got "Zombie" guns and of course that means there's a "Zombie" gun "loophole" that "needs" to be closed
The Zombie Gun Loophole is a problematic way that guns can end up in the hands of those responsible for gun violence. We must close this loophole and destroy zombie guns now. Every life lost to gun violence is one too many. pic.twitter.com/vtawLCCJWj

What is a "Zombie" gun you may ask?
Now 'zombie guns' really aren't all that different from 'ghost guns.' The parts are the result of gun disposal companies only destroying single pieces of guns seized by the police, or from a police officer who retired and turned in their service weapon, and even from gun 'buy-back' programs and then reselling the remaining pieces either separately or as kits that can then become 'ghost guns'.
So yeah
Another imaginary problem to deflect from the real problem
I wondered when they would get around to noticing all the parts kits being sold by the various Gunbusters companies on GunBroker. Apparently a bunch of police agencies contract with companies to destroy crime guns and those companies have been destroying the frames (which is legally the firearm) and then they sell all the other unregulated parts. I bought a Glock 27 kit that way with everything except the bare frame.
Of course I could have done exactly the same thing by ordering each part individually, but why let facts intrude on a good emotional freak out?
