Is the current Administration well known to never let a crisis go to waste? Therefore, if it can be finagled, then shutting down firearms imports can and should be considered quite possible.
A few years back such a thing was considered highly unlikely, and saying it could happen generally mocked by the majority. Cheap Russian would be pouring in forever.
Yeah, sure.
It's a foreign import, we have no control over the source, and world events can and will impact the supply. After the Tsunami, you couldn't get red auto paint because most was ground and mixed in a Japanese plant which had to shut down. That and other suppliers put the hurt to worldwide supplies for auto parts, and the entire industry was affected in some degree.
Anyone who says this won't have any affect isn't seeing how bad news creates a panic among the suburban consumers who overreact and go on zombie marches with credit cards in hand buying up everything at retail to get theirs. And to heck with anyone else.
If you hitched your wagon to cheap import blasting ammo being made half the world away, you are now in the same boat as those of us who bought into the turnover of .308 as the smaller battle rifles were issued. At one time you could get it, .30-06, .45ACP, and others from storage bunkers being emptied for pennies on the round. BUT - it did come to an end as the last bunker was opened. Like a coal seam in Kentucky, it doesn't last forever.
Time to consider your options if things do get more difficult in supply, this party couldn't go on forever. Change will come around and you can either accept it and make new decisions or get left behind. Just like the DCM - some day they will sell the last Garand, and then, there won't be anything left to sell.
