[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 5028868, member: 10399"] The ATF does regulate the manufacture and sale of ammunition. However, making and selling a reasonably small number is not a violation of any law. Just like buying and selling a few guns - even if you make a little in the process - does not mean you violate laws requiring firearms dealers to have ATF licenses. Federal law prohibits anyone except a licensed manufacturer from "engag[ing] in the business of . . . manufacturing ammunition, or in the course of such business, to ship, transport, or receive any ammunition in interstate or foreign commerce." (18 U.SC. section 922(a)(B)). "Engaged in the business" means: "as applied to a manufacturer of ammunition, a person who devotes time, attention, and labor to manufacturing ammunition [B]as a regular course of trade or business[/B] [B]with the principal objective of livelihood and profit[/B] through the sale or distribution of the ammunition manufactured." (18 U.S.C. section 921(21)(B)). "With the principal objective of livelihood and proft" means "that the intent underlying the sale or disposition . . . is predominantly one of obtaining livelihood and pecuniary gain, as opposed to other intents." (18 U.S.C. section 921(22)). [/QUOTE]
