How would this effect us? How many bullets use it?
>no warning
>no manufacturers were expecting this
>no grace period meaning every manufacturer is currently breaking the law
>this will severely hurt ability to supply ammo to the department of defense and military, not to mention civilians
>no reason other than proxy gun grab
>ATF’s sudden and unexpected change in policy on wetted nitrocellulose will likely have a significant impact on industry’s ability to deliver products to the military and commercial markets. Industry members have relied on the exemption for wetted nitrocellulose for many years and are aware of no accidental detonations or diversion of this product into illicit channels. Consequently, it is unclear why ATF believed it necessary to change its policy and, more importantly, why ATF announced the change in a newsletter article with no advance notice to industry.

Almost all of them, except for your REAL SLOW burning powder.
I'm still noguns and basically just lurk but is this a legitimately big deal?
What asshole sits around and thinks this garbage up? What the fuck?

The ATF has practically no oversight and does not answer to Congress.
It's a *component* of smokeless powder, which is not considered a high explosive. Most smokeless powder is imported from Canada, Australia, various europoor countries, and Mexico, anyway.
Make no mistake that the ATF answers to no-one and exists only to repeatedly violate the 2A with random small infringements over a long period of time.

Not to rain on righteous indignation, or to expect anyone on 4chan to RTFA, but: (see 2 and 3)
Exemptions from the requirements of the federal explosives laws are provided, in pertinent part, for: (1) the transportation, shipment, receipt, or importation of explosive materials for delivery to any federal or State agency; (2) for small arms ammunition and components thereof; and (3) for the manufacture under the regulation of the U.S. military of explosive materials for their official use.
