Let's Panic About Something Else Now!

Overheard someone breathlessly reporting that UPS had stopped all shipping of ammunition.

They said they got it right from the driver's mouth that only ammo still in the system was being delivered and no new shipments would be.

I think I found what was going on, but don't have the wherewithal to confirm it.

I believe that the issue isn't the ammo, but the change in labeling from ORM-D to some Hazmat sticker.

Anything marked with ORM-D after x date is improperly marked and cannot be shipped.

Their own webpage seems to confirm my theory.
