Democrat attorneys general are calling for an investigation into the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in an effort to shut down the facility. The Missouri-based plant, which is the largest producer of small arms ammunition in the U.S., has become one of the latest targets of the anti-gunner crowd in their quest to keep as many Americans disarmed as possible.
The Democrats’ request, which is ostensibly intended to curb the availability of “military-grade rounds” in the commercial market, is supposed to be a step towards decreasing the prevalence of gun violence. However, like their other schemes, a closer look

Too bad the Commiecrats don't want to shut down the weapons grade fentinal at the border. More evidence of the leftist attempts to thwart resistance from the citizenry.

Maybe they should shut down auto manufacturing to prevent mass auto accidents.

FTA; 'Mexico filed the lawsuit in August 2021, alleging the defendants – among them brands including Smith & Wesson, Colt and Glock – “design, market, distribute and sell guns in ways” that arm Mexican drug cartels, contributing significantly to a rise in gun violence within Mexico, despite strong regulations.' Why doesn't the Mexican government go after the drug cartels? Oh yeah, they ARE the Mexican government.

Doesn't matter if it supplies the military. Biden and company think they've stockpiled enough ammo to kill every man woman and child 10x over in the hands of the IRS, ATF, DEPT. of Education and anyone else they think needs a swat team to protect them from the voters. Have to stop the ammo so WE can't resupply.
I think we're heading for endgame, now.
They are upset with Texas because they can't get international supplies from their Allies (China, Russia, Ukraine and Iran) through with Abbott blocking the border.
Obce we locate those ammo stockpiles, they'll be OUR ammo stockpiles. Meanwhile our citizenry is fairly well armed to face what's coming.
Hey, how do you fly an F-16, without a pilot?

I live close to the plant, about 45 minute drive, have friends who work there. I purchase their ammo in quantity every year. What quantities? Adequate quantities, very adequate.
And the comments quoted in the article is correct, precisely so:
"Gun control advocates are firing blanks when they contend that taxpayers are subsidizing mass shooters. They get causality backward. The law-abiding target shooters and gun owners who buy Lake City ammunition are subsidizing national defense and military readiness. Indeed, Lake City is not the sole source of any of the types of ammunition manufactured and sold commercially."
Exactly so. When I buy their surplus ammo, I help keep the quantity of ammo up, so the production costs stay lower than they would be a lower production output. THIS directly lowers the price that the military has to pay for their ammo, since they WOULD have to pay 100% of the plant costs - regardless of the quantity of ammo produced. Less ammo for the SAME fixed costs.....higher prices for the military. Same fixed costs, more quantity produced .......LOWER cost per round, for the military and for civilians.
As usual, Demonrats are all wrong, totally backwards.

You can bet your boots that firearms being smuggled out of the USA and into Mexico are being smuggled by Mexicans.

Actually, #4, most of that "stockpiled ammo" you write about has already been expended in training.
How many rounds to train a police force of 5,000 officers? Simple math. Require an officer to qualify twice a year, probably 30 -50 rounds in qualification. Let's assume that with practice, qualifying multiple times, each officer expends about 200 rounds per year. This means that the 5,000 officer PD burns 1,000,000 rounds per year. SWAT officers burn many times that in much more intensive training.
My bet is that all these federal agencies with "10 million rounds purchased"....have about 6 month or a year of ammo for training on the shelves. They burn through it very steadily.

What a load of succotash. Calling for an investigation is not the same as a closure but of course, the communistic administration in DC is capable of cutting off the nose to spite the face.

what the Hell is going on? ....
- Democrats Push Biden Administration to Shut Down Ammunition Plant Supposedly to Prevent Mass Shootings"
- alright you made the statement now provide the names of the "Democrats" who are constructing this plot to further weaken our military and our local purchasers of this ammunition
- you can only make a valid statement / argument when ALL of the information is provided
- other than that it's only a slanderous hodgepodge of words having no meaning
- it seems like I'm reading something out of the NY Times or Wash Post
- what do the demcommies have to do to convince "the People" that they are true blue communists seeking only to divide this nation and send it to oblivion?
