It is going to take US to make these BIG companies feel the heat! S & W and Ruger measure their civilian sales in the MILLIONS. Last year Ruger met and surpassed their Million Gun goal by 500,000 and stopped taking orders, due to the need to catch up. Send them emails, send them letters! Remington (just got the M-4 contract), Colt, FN, there is NO way they will risk their military contracts. Glock won't risk the 70% of their law enforcement market share now. "Shooters forget that a firearm is only a means by which to fire a certain ammunition." NRA BPSHB This is where it gets sticky. The ammunition manufacturers need to be onboard. Above and beyond the ammo makers, powder only comes from a small handful of manufacturers around the world...and they ALL have government/military contracts. <<<<<<period Blow off 95% of our ammo supplies in one big disorganized clusterfcuk and we're done. If the groups near the powder makers aren't working to get control of those facilities (should the crap hit), we're working from stockpiles. Jon
