The Defense Production Act (DPA 1950 amended, pdf) essentially is a legislative hurdle that stops the executive from stepping into the private sector and restricting trade, commerce or manufacturing, unless the President says a critical shortage of “xxxx” is present and national security is at stake. It prevents citizens from the threat of govt nationalization of resource “xxxx”.
In the event the President makes a national security determination, he/she is required to inform congress, invoke the waiver authority, and identify which sectors he/she is now outlining as a national security… such that government purchase orders take precedent in the supply of “xxxx”. Yesterday, President Biden invoked this authority.

Did somebody declare war on somebody else while I was asleep? I mean other than the perpetual war on poverty, drugs and productive American citizens?

I'm wonder if this isn't gun control through ammunition using Ukraine as a smoke screen.

Sounds like Biden is going to start a war.
The government all but took over a number of industries in WW2 to fight Germany and Japan.

“ Is this to secure weapons for shipment to Ukraine?.. OR, Is this to secure a buildup of weapons for a larger purpose? Meaning, is this preparing for an expanded war effort?”
Not “or”, but “and”, as in we have sent enormous quantities of arrtillery shells, ground launched rockets as well as anti-tank, anti-aircraft and anti-ship missiles to Ukraine. Also supplying Taiwan with much of the same. And, we have depleted the inventories of these items for our own defense. So, Biden has to continue supplying Ukraine and Taiwan while pretending to properly defend the US. Only positive to this massive weapons shortfall is that Biden’s perverse policies have greatly harmed enlistments, which means that we don’t have enough soldiers and Marines to use what we don’t have,

Did anyone look at the actual list to see if baby formula shortages, etc., ever got corrected? Maybe it was Biden, or maybe it was President ValJar. How can we be sure? Biden has been jonesing for war ever since FDR died. Joe Kennedy made a bundle, as did the Henry Fords and the Rockefellers. Just because we war babies don't talk about it all the time does not mean we don't REMEMBER.

Democrats are at war with the firearms industry. Biden wants to bankrupt firearms manufacturers through repeal of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. So, I’d like to see gun companies tell Biden to go to ‘ell. As for the citizen stockpile, I am going to grab as much as I can before shelves are picked clean.

Wooden heads (Shout out to Barbara Tuchman) believe that the United States can only maintain its position in the World by being an Imperialistic Empire where it and it alone can determine International Law, morality, proper governance and of course keep the US Dollar as the World's Reserve Currency. Today to continue that objective it needs war with the mistaken belief that it can prevail. Other than establishing regional power blocks the idea that any country has the man power, resources and logistical ability to conquer other lands and control them is insanity. But then Wooden heads are not known for thier logic.

Excuse the followup. “He will restrict the money supply and ban ownership of precious metals ala FDR.”
I cannot rule this out. To the gestapo, “come and take.” I am willing to take one for the team.
