Gasoline is actually pretty stable, it's not even flammable. How ever the vapors it gives off on the other hand is quite the opposite.
You should probably stop typing before you make yourself look stupider than you just did...You actually just typed that gasoline is not FLAMMABLE!!!!!!
LOL!!!!!!!

This is crazy. At the very least, if you have passed background checks to buy a gun, and you have a license/permit whatever (I don't own a gun so not clear on the jargon) you should be given the ability to reload your ammo.
Why are they calling it manufacturing when, in reality, you are reconditioning the bullet to working order. I don't need permits to change out my windows on my home that I own, provided I am reconditioning it or replacing it with an exact size and do not change the opening size in the framing. Here, you OWN a gun and are simply restoring the bullets. You already had the powder in the bullets to begin with, you're just replacing it.
What's worse is the background checks are probably going to be required with every purchase, so say you buy supplies and then a year down the road, you go see a psychiatrist or something or a dr about depression. They check medical records (Once the gov't provides you the medical services, they may have access to things) they find out you are on depression meds.... supplies DENIED. Then, the fun stuff, they come knocking for your guns and take them pending an evaluation of some sort.....
That seems like where it's headed... STOCK UP NOW!!!!!
So you have the right to bear arms but not to fire them????edit on 8-5-2013 by evc1shop because: clarity
Smokeless powder if placed in a pipe or other vessel in large quantity would produce a large explosion

Democrats/liberal/progressives feel their way through life.
Conservative/constitution loving men and women think their way through life.

The reason they would want a background check is that same smokeless powder if placed in a pipe or other vessel in large quantity would produce a large explosive device. A 500g, can of smokeless powder can pack quite the punch, think of the miniscule amount you put in a 30-06 in comparison to that tin.
It poses a risk to the public. Granted it hasn't been used yet in an attack, but it's the fear that it could. Same with fireworks, same with black powder for you muzzle loaders out there.
I don't agree with these laws, but they are in the process of becoming a reality.
This will not stop future bombings. These people that we call our leaders are dumb

It isn't about stopping future bombings. This legislation is about preventing law-abiding citizens from making their own ammo.
