I got to go on a tour of the Lake City Ammo Plant as a Boy Scout! We got to see a mini gun get tested. They said sometimes a deer would run out while they were testing and it went about how you’d expect. Not much deer left. It was pretty cool as a teenager. One of the scout leaders worked there or something.<p>I was excited about this and seeing a place I know, then realized what the implications of this article are. Oh goodness. A lot of bullets are headed somewhere else.

Weren&#x27;t there safety issues at one of the very few remaining black powder plants that caused it to shut down?<p>If the inputs are constrained, that may be constraining the outputs.

I wonder if they paid to cancel or if there is a free exit clause in the contracts.
