Doesn't really effect me, but since Winchester closed we are now too reliant on overseas product.

And on top of that they sell most of our ADI powder overseas and we have to compete for it at higher prices , which ADI representatives said would not happen but it sure has happened because the French control ADI not us . Lunacy . We are so going to regret one day not having our own large weapons manufacturing industry and nuclear weapons . Look at Ukraine they make a lot of their own weapons but it's not enough . Look at Israel huge weapons industry all controlled by the Government and a secret stash of nukes . I know the Government is improving things with ship building and acquiring Nuclear subs , armored vehicles etc. but it should have been happening decades ago so by now we would be a major player but instead we have a great big target painted on us and rely on the US to protect us . Not wise .
