Red Alert: Backdoor AMMO Ban, ATF Reclassifies Wetted Nitrocellulose


This is the third time I've seen this......


The entire gun industry is at a standstill. Overnight Obama has outlawed a key substance that goes in gunpowder. The chemical compound called nitrocellulose can no longer be stored or used as it has been reclassified as an explosive.

Those in the ammunitions industry will be classified as felons if they continue to store and use nitrocellulose. You can imagine the chaos that has ensued following this news.

Obama has tried to get to gun owners, and now he has wormed his way into the manufacture of gun powder. It is serious business, and those who value their Second Amendment Rights should be very concerned.

This is the real deal. If this regulation stays in place, it will take months for the industry to recover and send ammunition prices through the roof!

Is this not the same stuff that goes into film ? How will this effect the movie and news reel products ? Or am I wrong in this ? Bill K

NOTE: That re-classification of wetted nitrocellulose has been put on "hold" by the ATF pending feedback from the industry.

You are correct. Older film was indeed nitrocellulose; its storage is highly regulated and it is stored and projected in cooled asbestos-lined rooms for safety. The acetate and polyester types that followed were/are far safer - although they burn, too.
