As a hobby, and to augment my meager gun-fund, I collect rifle and handgun brass, sort it, polish it and sell it. The easiest way to sell it is to advertise it on Craig's List.
Recently, my ads have been getting flagged and deleted for not complying with the rules. So, I sent an email to their support people asking them what was going on.
Much to my amazement here is their answer:
"Craigslist uses the ATF's definition of ammunition to cover their behinds and the site. The ATF defines ammo as any one component to make a complete useable round. The term “Ammunition” means ammunition or cartridge cases, primers, bullets, or propellant powder designed for use in any firearm. So used empty brass is by definition ammunition."
So, I went to the BATFE website, and sure enough:
18 U.S.C., § 921(A)(17)(A) The term “Ammunition” means ammunition or cartridge cases, primers, bullets, or propellant powder designed for use in any firearm.
Firearms - Guides - Importation & Verification of Firearms, Ammunition and Implements of War - Gun Control Act Definitions - Ammunition | ATF
One more example of our government taking care of us. Is this scary, or what ?
