Yeah but if you were extra crazy like me you'd be sitting in a bathtub with hollow points, cyanide and a burning candle...

I don't shoot anymore. It's just too expensive these days. After buying ammo, targets, gas to the range, and range fees, i'm over $100. I'd rather rent a Cessna or spend it on some cheap hookers and blow.
Something needs to be done about this.
It's also a more efficient use of taxpayer resources, because the brass is worth more as brass, even at "bargain rates" than as scrap metal.So, let me get this straight. The US Government, which had essentially been subsidizing the ammunition manufacturers by selling their spent brass at bargain rates, is now rescinding that practice. I would have thought that all you small government folks (including me) would be overjoyed at the demise of this welfare state policy, no? Or are you only into small government policies when they don't inconvenience you? You can't have it both ways.

Actually, many media reports have confirmed that many manufacturers are operating 3 shifts to meet demand. I know Magpul and many of the ammo manufacturers are, because they've admitted it. You can't just make heavy industrial equipment appear out of thin air, or the workers to operate it. I'm also sure that they are leery of investing significant capital to expand their operations when the stroke of a pen could make this a wasted expense. And I'm sure the current POTUS would be glad to make that pen stroke if he could.I was referring to ammo prices overall, and the scarcity of most popular calibers. You'd think that manufacturers would expand and jack up production, but I guess it's just as easy to make the profits by keeping supply low while demand shoots through the roof?
