If someone has already written on this subject, I apologize, I missed it.
I was watching a rerun of Shooting USA the other night and the words of Jim Scoutten gave me a flash of genius (well, at least I think so).
What Jim was talking about was the production of the M-1 Carbine during WWII. He mentioned that among the companies that pitched in to produce the little brother of the Garand was General Motors. So when times where tough and the then present gun manufactures alone could not meet the demand for more guns, a multitude of companies, including GM, stepped in and helped out, to the betterment of there own bottom lines no doubt.
So, the idea that came to mind was that instead of GM taking our tax dollars and going down in flames anyway, they could instead retreat to days of old and help out with the shortages in the firearms industry. This could specifically apply to ammo. Why should GM not once again temporally jump into one of the hottest markets out there during tough times? This could be a great service to Americans. Not only would you and I have access to the ammo we need again, but our police departments, some of which have reported ammo shortages of their own, could again stock up. Even our awesome training groups, like I.C.E., would no longer have to reduce the number of rounds that their students get to punch through in a class, just because ammo is tough to get. Furthermore, (double) tapping into this market could seriously boost GM's bottom line. I know that the Joyce Foundation Spawn would never think of this plan, but the flailing auto companies could certainly try this one on there own. Maybe GM does not have the leadership these days to make this kind of move, but someone should step up. Like one of MOPAR's past leaders put it "lead, follow or get out of the way."
