Talk about a big waste of our tax dollars. Term, I assume in this context, is a length of time. This needs to be changed.
"Demilitarization" is the process in which ammunition is disassembled due to terms of military contracts. For example if a term of the military contract between Federal or Lake City is broken they are prohibited from selling the "live ammo" to the public. instead the ammunition has to be disassembled.
I wonder when this was enacted. I have several older bandoleers of 5.56 and 7.62 ammo I bought 8 or so years ago. This are steel tracer and set grass on fire so I don't shoot them much anymore.
Probably the same people who claim there is a such thing as a cop killing bullet or something along the lines of weapons of war or some such other foolishness.
That law has been in effect for almost 50 years now, I believe it was addressed in the 1968 Gun control act and then stiffened in the Regan legislation in the 80's. That said there is still a lot of military ammo floating around, I purchased a box full of gun stuff this summer and there was 500 rounds of 30-06 tracers and steel tip in the box, which does me no good as I don't yet own a 30-06. But have been thinking about picking up a M1 Garand in the near future.

I have an itch for the M1 Garand as well.
It may be an internet myth but seems like I read somewhere that a person should not shoot current manufacturer 30-06 ammo in a M1 Garand.
I'd probably have to sell a gun to get it by my wife as there is no more room in my gun safe and I would have to buy a safe as well. This would be hard to hide after 28 years or marital bliss.

LOL, my wife has given up, I have 3 full(overfull) safes and there is 3 new guns sitting in the living room leaning up against the couch!, fortunately my home is "gun poor"!
