Washington, D.C<\/strong>. \u2013 Today, in an effort to bolster America\u2019s national security, Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-06) introduced the Ammunition Supply Chain Act. The legislation aims to ensure the resilience and efficiency of our nation\u2019s ammunition manufacturing supply chain. Senator Jim Risch (R-ID) introduced companion legislation in the United States Senate.<\/p>\n

The Ammunition Supply Chain Act requires the Secretary of the Army to provide a comprehensive report to Congress on the supply chain of ammunition manufacturing. The report will include information on sourcing raw materials used in ammunition production, examining weaknesses in the existing supply chain and the global demand for ammunition, and providing strategies for fostering public-private partnerships.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs threats to our nation\u2019s security evolve, it is more important than ever to take proactive measures to secure our ammunition supply chain. This is not only about enhancing our military readiness but also supporting American manufacturing and ensuring law-abiding Minnesotans and Americans can exercise their Second Amendment rights,\u201d\u00a0Congressman Emmer said.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

“This administration\u00a0creates as many ridiculous hurdles\u00a0as possible to\u00a0restrict\u00a0law-abiding gun owners\u2019 access to\u00a0affordable guns and ammunition,\u201d said Senator Risch.\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cThe Ammunition Supply Chain Act\u00a0forces transparency from the Biden administration about the status of our domestic ammunition supply chain. This is vital to protect our right to bear arms and to ensure our military has the ammunition it needs to protect our country.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n

Due to a rise in the use of ammunition and artillery in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, countries around the world are battling shortages of key materials needed for ammunition production, resulting in domestic ammunition prices skyrocketing, limiting millions of Americans\u2019 ability to exercise their Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n

Congressman Emmer has consistently championed and defended American\u2019s Second Amendment rights. He recently\u00a0introduced legislation<\/a>\u00a0to provide recourse for law-abiding Americans who were improperly denied the ability to legally purchase a firearm. Furthermore, Emmer\u00a0staunchly opposed<\/a>\u00a0the Biden Administration\u2019s crackdowns on stabilizing braces in 2023.<\/p>\n

The Ammunition Supply Chain Act is cosponsored by Representatives Pete Stauber, Brad Finstad, Michelle Fischbach, Rick Crawford and Bruce Westerman.<\/p>\n

The legislation is supported by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) and Vista Outdoor.<\/p>\n
