Alarm raised over treaty provision to ban activity

President Obama, who supported the handgun ban in Washington, D.C., before it was tossed by the Supreme Court, since his election has watched various proposals to ban "assault" weapons, require handgun owners to submit to mental health evaluations and sparked a rush on ammunition purchases that caused some retailers to name him their salesman of the year. Now he apparently is going after citzens who reload their ammunition.
It was during an official visit earlier this month to Mexico that he affirmed his support for a proposed international treaty that addresses "firearms trafficking."
According to a blogger who follows the issue, the treaty was adopted by President Clinton years ago but never ratified by the U.S. Senate, a goal Obama now has adopted.
The writer, B.A. Lawson, says, "If you reload your own ammo you may find yourself engaged in 'Illicit Manufacturing' of ammunition under an arms control treaty that President Obama started pushing last week in Mexico." ---MORE---

...and stupid f'n libs are wondering why people are stocking up? 
Hi,
Well now this is a bit unnerving. Yesterday 2000 Remington .223 cartridges arrived at my doorstep. Over the weekend I bought 16# of powder and currently have over 1500 primers in stock. Now as to licensing...... I think that congress will catch all kinds of flack and they are better off not letting it get out of committee.
At the same time, I am a member of two gun clubs and know a lot of reloaders. They are not about to give it up either, and they will be smart enough to put factory loads in their defensive weapons. My guess is it would be doggone near impossible to enforce. I would guess that if one used a hand load and shot someone then it would add fuel to the fire. At the same time how are they going to catch target shooters or deer hunters? Surely the deer are not gonna tell.
Only change I will make if it passes is to save my factory cartons and put the reloads in there instead of the plastic boxes I use now. If I am using Remington cartridges and using the same bullets Remington sells commercially how would they know? If one buys from Black Hills or other licensed reloaders and uses the same bullets, primers and cartridges that Black Hills sells, it would be hard to detect.
