So yea, that's what the pentagon thinks about your constitutional rights. Ironic, they use our tax dollars to develop a new round, which they then unconstitutionally deny to the very people who funded its development. By the people and for the people my asss.:mad:
So it would seem that supply isn't the problem, which suggests we probably won't ever get much out on the open market. It's in the same boat as SS190 and Mk211. Completely legal, but tightly controlled by the people who have the patents on it, effectively keeping it out of reach.
