Military Caliber Bans

**ROCK** · 03-02-2009 03:36 AM

I never understood why some countries around the world ban possession of firearms chambered for ammunition their military uses.

I have a guess. Those governments are fearful of their subjects gaining control and using the vast amounts of stored military ammunition against them during a rebellion.

So, that's just my guess but I'll bet that nations that ban firearms that chamber military ammunition are also corrupt and / or tyrannys. Does anyone have any thoughts on this or know anything else about the history of these laws? A future tyrant may try to do the same thing here.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

That's supposedly why .38 Super is popular in Mexico - no .45 ACP allowed.

FWIW; AFAIK; IMHO; YMMV; yadda, yadda, yadda.
