USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Gun Owners of America is aware of the Biden State Department’s Notice [of new sanctions] that “[n]ew and pending permit applications for the permanent importation of firearms and ammunition manufactured or located in Russia will be subject to a policy of denial.”
We recognize the devastating implications these sanctions would have on individual gun owners amidst a national ammunition shortage. We are currently exploring administrative, congressional, and legal avenues to respond to these new sanctions.
Once again, the Biden Administrations’ actions are misplaced. Ending imports by licensed importers will not stop drug dealers, murderers, and other assorted street criminals.
It will, however, harm legitimate US businesses while driving up the cost of other ammunition due to more buyers chasing a smaller supply. It is clear to us that the intention is not to harm Russia but rather to hinder the acquisition of firearms and ammunition by American citizens.
Gun Owners of America
Gun Owners of America has previously supported the right of members and staff to carry firearms on Capitol Hill for self-defense, as GOA supports the rights of all law-abiding citizens to carry firearms in their workplace. Gun Owners of America is a grassroots organization representing more than two million gun owners nationwide and is dedicated to protecting the right to keep and bear arms without compromise.
Permits needed to import ammo but Joe has opened the southern border to a unrestricted supply of meth and fentanyl. You are a complete idiot Biden ! Guns and ammo bad , deadly drugs OK I guess in Joe’s eyes .
Because that’s where the money is. Why else would so many of Democrat policies favor criminals, gangs, and cartels?

Ever notice how the media never reports on the growing MS-13 issues in this country?
WHAT MS-13 problem?
Wee see nothing, señior…………
ALL imported ammo n guns are next.
Remember the republican ban on German made G3 rifles.
What “republican ban on German made G3 rifles”?
GHW Bush’s 1989 “assault weapon” import ban?
He was never a strong supporter of our Constitution; he, junior and all other the Bushes are members of the republicrat establishment!
“Bush was never a strong supporter of our Constitution…”
Suggested edit: Remove “strong”.
“Republican” GHW Bush banned 43 “assault weapon” imports in 1989, including the G3. Hard to forget the treason inside our own tent (Bush, Coors-Heritage, NRA, Ruger-Sanetti-SAAMI-NSSF) that led immediately to the CA & NJ bans, then the natl ban: “This is a bonus to domestic companies that can raise prices now. They won’t be faced with cheaper imports, and their demand will go up.” -Rep “Pete” Stark (D-CA) “Stark applauded Bush for ‘having the guts to stand up to the NRA’ but said he must take a similar stand against domestic weapons. If US-made assault rifles were subjected to the… Read more »
“Republican” Bush banned them in 1989, including the G3.
Major assist by Coors-Heritage, NRA, Ruger-Sanetti-SAAMI-(now NSSF?).

It’s in GHW Bush’s 1989 “a$$ault weap0n” import ban
Republicans and victim disarmament as usual…

Don’t forget that we won both WWI and WWII using all American Made arms and ammo.
True but that was with the FedGov pushing US arms production. Now the federales scheme to destroy it.
But it seems doubtful this will this prop up or push up ammo prices for long, to the extent other countries’ ammo can substitute for Russian ammo. Russian ammo should sell in other countries slightly cheaper than it would’ve here, freeing up non-Russian ammo supply to the USA. Basic micro…Unless there are factors of which I’m unaware.
This move has already pushed up ALL 7.62×39 and 7.62×54 ammo and depleted many stores in the U.S.
Not surprising. Is Russia the only supplier of 7.62×39 & 7.62×54? They surely don’t have exclusive rights do they?
Little, by little, one step at a time, not unlike boiling a frog. Before you know it, no guns, no ammo.
This was no “accidental” cause and effect, this is doing exactly what it was intended to do.
If you get a chance go see the Interview On HANNITY WITH DJT — He gave us a Hint ! He said = YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE WORST OF WHAT THIS ADMIN… IS GOING TO DO ! = AND WATCH WHAT THEY DO TO YOUR 2ND AMENDMENT !!! WOW – THIS IS NOT GOOD PEOPLE !!!! I SEE AN ” UPRISING ” and At my Old AGE – I don’t have much time left heere – So I WILL BE WITH MY FELLOW PATRIOTS WHEN CALLED UPON TO FIGHT FOR OUR “CONSTITUTION ” !!!! !
DJT doesn’t need to do anything; this festering pot of swill will self-destruct from within!
99% of the people oppose to this will sit on their ass…. and do nothing but b!tch.
There….. I’m almost done b!tching.
“Under the Guise of Punishing Russia, Biden Instead Hurts U.S Gun Owners Banning Ammo”
. . . . . . . . . Well then, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
What are we punishing Russia for ??
So this piece shit Is going to punish Russia by not letting them sell ammo in this country, right after letting them complete their pipeline and sell oil to Germany . and that is right after he crushed our own energy industry
BINGO
If you transact in US $ – his administration will confiscate it all.
Russia is selling clean natural Gas to Germany for 60 years, why is it all of a sudden a problem ??
Waiting for approval since Sunday @ 15:15
Arm up and carry on
Yup, a firearm without ammo is a stick or a brick etc. Now, the “cheep” Russian ammo and arms are banned. That has always been their plan. Remember what obama bin laden did to ammo prices when it was president? 5.5 BILLION rounds of 40 S&W to the department of defense, the i.r.s. etc. Why would the i r s need to be armed? That is enough ammo to prosecute the Iraki war for 20+ years all by itself. It had the e.p.a. close down the last lead smelting plant in the U.S. That alone caused the price for bullets… Read more »
The old demented limp dick Socialist….. had someone else, plan it EXACTLY that way.
