Local News Reporter says "No ammunition being manufactured in USA"
According to this dufus, all ammunition is being made in "China, Russia and Japan". According to him, this is why everybody is buying their ammo at gun shows.

This is second-hand from my wife so I may have gotten the Japan part wrong, but still...

I took her boxes from CCI, Winchester/Western, Federal and Remington and showed her the "Manufactured in the USA" labels.

I think I convinced her, but she's constantly parroting things to me that "she heard on TV" with the subtext of "so it must be true."

Sigh.

That guy must have had a serious head injury at some point in his life. Who with any experience with firearms would think that.

I run into this often with my Dad.

"Did you hear "xyz"?"

"Um. No. That doesn't sound right Dad."

"Well they just said it on the news!"

"Ok. But......(this is where I give him all the reasons what they said is bullshit)."

"I'm just telling you what they said....."

I doubt any ammo is made in Japan.

Naturally, after Obama ordered all the lead smelters to be shut down, and rounded up all the employees of domestic ammo companies in FEMA camps, the ammo companies had to either move overseas or go out of business...

I'd rather stand in line for hours at a gun show, rather than drive to Japan, but...

You can run, but you cannot hide.

Only certain lot numbers, and they charge extra for those.

They make guns for their own military and police. I'd be willing to believe that they make ammo on the same basis -but not for the American commercial market. I'm also willing to believe that some racist little twit with a microphone doesn't know the difference between Korea (i.e., PMC) and Japan.

Who owns Remington and Winchester? Where are they BASED? Who makes CCI, and where are they based? That damned slipshod Anguila is Mexihan. When was the last time you ever saw CCI at a gun show? Who knows if they still make ammo since I never see the stuff (not to worry, I've still got some in the ammo magazine. Who owns Federal? Or is it Feral? Where are they based? Just asking.
