Does anyone know the motivation behind this policy?
I know the easy answer is to say "The anti-gun lobby is trying to stick it to us!!". but, I really doubt it.
Is there anyone out there so naive as to think that the columbine an Virginia tech shooters hand-loaded their own ammo? come on!?!
People who hand load are almost exclusively the hard-core hobbyist accuracy nuts. They use their weapons almost exclusively for hunting and target shooting. (I doubt too many people use a bolt action .308 with a custom hot load for home defense)
Even if someone were a rabid anti-gun nut, this would be last group of shooters they would go after. I know there is a lot of anti-Obama mania flying around but at the end of the day there has got to be some other reason for this.
Does anyone know what it is?
My money is that the brass-shredding company made a healthy donation to someone's campaign fund... but things like that NEVER happen...
(And for the record, I am far from an Obama supporter, I just don't think that he is the anti-christ, hell bent on ruining our lives. We have plenty rock solid points to argue against his policies without jumping to biblical-scale conspiracy theories)
(Even with that being said, I'm sure I'll draw some negative feedback for humanizing everyone's favorite buggy man)
