U.N. Ammunition Shipping Requirements Loosened

December 20, 2010

(GunReports.com) -- The United Nations has adopted changes to international ammunition-shipping requirements sought by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI).

The rule change essentially protects the industry from a shift in U.S. shipping regulations that potentially would have cost the industry $300 million per year. The net result is that while the regulations will change, shipment of ammunition in the U.S will continue without additional fees and handling requirements. The change harmonizes U.S. regulations with international requirements, reduces overly strict shipping requirements by truck and vessel and facilitates shipment of ammunition to consumers worldwide by parcel post.

This is a surprizing move with the UN, who is not a friend of the 2nd!

[O.S.O.K.]

Wierd. But good.

Somehow this scares me. What are they really after? I can't believe they are loosening any regulation that is firearm related.

Ditto.
Either hell just froze over or they have something up their sleeve.

I second that, frankly I am stunned.

What's in the fine print...

[O.S.O.K.]

You know... the more I think about this the more I'd bet there's some money going into somebody's pocket... that would make perfect sense with the UN...

I wonder what the fine print is, it sounds to good to be true.
