According to the website The Truth About Guns, a source told the outlet that the Biden regime is taking steps to reduce the availability of .223/5.56 ammunition available to the average shooter.

One Twitter user posted additional ammunition-related news as a breaking story: "The U.S. Military is actively considering shutting down the sale is M855/SS109 ammo from Lake City to the commercial market."

This comes as the Army is set to retire the ubiquitous M4 carbines with new individual and squad automatic weapons, per Military.com:

The Army has found its replacements for the M4 rifle and M249 Squad Automatic Weapon, handing out a contract to put new guns in the hands of tens of thousands of soldiers.

The force is awarding a 10-year, $20.4 million contract to Sig Sauer for the XM5 Rifle, which will become the new standard rifle for soldiers, and the XM250 Automatic Rifle, which will replace the SAW.

The service will also switch from 5.56mm ammo to 6.8mm, after a search for rounds better built to penetrate body armor. 

"Both weapons fire common 6.8 millimeter ammunition utilizing government provided projectiles and vendor-designed cartridges," an Army spokesperson said in a press release. "The new ammunition includes multiple types of tactical and training rounds that increase accuracy and are more lethal against emerging threats than both the 5.56mm and 7.62mm ammunition."
