Videos tagged with Civilian Ammo Sales

This video explains how a potential escalation of conflict could lead to a severe shortage of ammunition for civilians in the United States. It details how the Department of Defense, under the Defense Production Act of 1950, could prioritize military needs, reallocating all ammunition production and existing stockpiles away from civilian markets to support the US military and NATO allies. The speaker emphasizes the historical precedent and advises civilians to stock up proactively.

This video discusses potential upcoming restrictions on .223 and 5.56mm ammunition, citing a letter sent by State Attorneys General to the White House. The letter expresses concern over the production and civilian sale of military-grade ammunition from the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant, which supplies a significant portion of the 5.56mm market. The speaker, with an authoritative tone, suggests these actions could lead to reduced availability and increased costs for ammunition.

The video argues against the conspiracy theory that the Biden administration is hoarding ammunition to cause civilian shortages. It suggests that apparent shortages are often due to ammunition manufacturers manipulating the market by reducing production and raising prices, especially during election cycles when government purchases increase. Stock prices of manufacturers are presented as evidence of demand fluctuations, with drops indicating lower civilian demand rather than government hoarding.
