The Biden Administration’s Department of State announced that it will soon prohibit the importation of Russian ammunition into the United States. According to a release on the Department of State’s website, “[n]ew and pending permit applications for the permanent importation of firearms and ammunition manufactured or located in Russia will be subject to a policy of denial.”

We knew from the start that the Biden Administration would be tough on gun owners. Those predictions have unfortunately become a reality. On August 20, 2021, we saw the latest in a series of unilateral executive actions by this administration aimed at limiting access to imported firearms and ammunition.
The U.S. Department of State announced that "New and pending permit applications for the permanent importation of firearms and ammunition manufactured or located in Russia will be subject to a policy of denial,". That’s right, in the midst of what is surely the most critical ammunition shortage since World War II, the U.S. government is putting an enormous bottleneck on the already-struggling supply chain. The importation of firearms and ammunition from Russia will be effectively banned starting September 7, 2021, until further notice, i.e., forever.
Bad news often comes on Friday afternoons and this action was no different. According to a Fact Sheet published on the Department of State’s website, “Pursuant to the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991 (the CBW Act), the United States will impose a second round of sanctions on the Russian Federation over its use of a ‘Novichok’ nerve agent in the August 2020 poisoning of Russian opposition figure Aleksey Navalny.” You read that correctly, our government is using the attempted murder of a Russian opposition leader, which had nothing to do with firearms or ammunition, as justification for these actions.
