Something for all midwestern sportsman, hunters, and target shooters to be aware of.
Today many New York hunters and shooters recived emails from mail order ammo suppliers that state that as of 1/14, they can no longer ship to New York. A new law in New York requires that ALL ammo sales happen over the retail counter. No mail order whatsoever in New York.
Now obviously New York is a lost cause in terms of being a crime-ridden bastion of liberal anti-gun agendas, but thier fruther sinking into a cesspool of ineffective legislation is a cautionary tale for all of us.
Obviously, this ammo restriction would be devastating to hunters and shooters. Especially given the massive run on ammo we’ve seen in receont months where the local shelves can be bare for months on end.
We have to be vigilent for any hint that this kind of New Yack style “nanny state” law is under consideration in our states. As usual, gun grabbers will present this as a perfectly reasonable law designed to prevent a person from buying a large stockpile of ammo in an under-the-radar fashion.
Obviously, the reality is that this law does nothing as a mentally deranged individual can simply buy their horde of ammo from any or a varity of reatilers locally.
But still, we have to watch out for this new effort to restruct gun use by restricting where legal gun owners can buy ammo. I would think this restriction would be especially tempting for states where there is a large urban center with an out of control crime problem like Illinois has with Chicago. It would be easy to sell the uneducated public on the idea that the simply soulution to Chicago’s crime problem is to limit the ammo supply and of course this would do nothing to help.
Be vigilent, least we end up like New York.
