Seems like it would affect ammunition powder manufacturers to the greatest extent - which means.....GUESS WHAT!$?

At this point I'm just convinced there's a bunch of bored folks sitting in offices needing to justify their government salaries.

No. If they've got offices, they've got enough seniority they're not scared of getting fired and could care less about justifying why they take home a paycheck.

I know one that retired from working for HUD that has cussed President W loudly, to all who would listen because he implemented a policy where she could no longer access ebay from her government computer while at work. She actually used to spend 7 hours a day buying and selling junk on ebay while at work and thought it was unreasonable that the government would no longer let her do that.

Tax bills, or any other kind, are hard enough to get through congress. Why bother whe they can eliminate ammo without congressional approval?
I need more primers and bullets.......

Feds don't get fired. I learned that here.

  • Nitroglycerin, an energetic component of double-base and triple-base formulations[SUP][24][/SUP]
  • Nitroguanidine, a component of triple-base formulations[SUP][24][/SUP]
  • DINA (bis-nitroxyethylnitramine)[SUP][25][/SUP]
  • Fivonite (tetramethylolcyclopentanone tetranitrate)[SUP][25][/SUP]

Then you learned wrong. I've seen many feds fired, frogmarched out in handcuffs, forced to retire, etc. Feds, unlike the private sector, don't get fired on a baseless whim but they definitely do get fired.

Nitrocellulose Update

ATF’s June 2016 Explosives Industry Newsletter included a brief discussion of Nitrocellulose,
and attempted to clarify the circumstances under which wetted Nitrocellulose is considered a
high explosive under 27 CFR, Part 555. As with all explosives, ATF’s
focus is on the potential public safety risks associated with materials that can be misused or diverted to unlawful
purposes. Subsequent contact from industry members who import, transport, store or employ
wetted Nitrocellulose in the production of ammunition, however, has brought to our attention
issues that were not fully addressed in the Newsletter and require further consultation and
consideration with the industry. Accordingly, ATF has and will conduct further industry
outreach concerning wetted Nitrocellulose. In the interim, previously authorized industry
practices concerning wetted Nitrocellulose will not be affected

Yep. Looks like they are delaying any action pending further study.

It's an election year, someone will step up and say "I WILL DEFUND YOUR SORRY #$!" in order to earn votes and the ATF will back off.
