Even if the bill is DOA, there is a benefit to shining the light on this issue. For a long time I was of the opinion that the current ammo shortage was strictly market driven. But when ammo isn't even arriving on the shelves so that people can hoard it, I think it's safe to assume there's much more going on.
What's interesting to me is the question of how long a billion-dollar market demand can go unmet in a free market. Perhaps we have an economist among us who could chime in and explain that one to me.
I guess this is what Obama meant by under the radar.
It sure seems like some entity would set up manufacturing to meet the demand.
