Brass Shell Casings

This is totally crazy

and it should make you want to slap the hell out of the idiots

we have in Washington DC.


Georgia Arms is the 5th

largest retailer of .223 Ammo in America. They sell 9mm, .45,

.223 ammunition. They normally buy spent brass from the US

Department of Defense. Spent brass is "one time used" shell

cases used by our Military for training purposes.


They

buy the brass, recondition it, and then reload the brass for

resale to Law Enforcement, Gun Clubs, Gun Shops, and stores

like Wal-Mart. They normally buy 30,000 lbs of spent brass at

a time.


This week the DoD wrote a letter to the owner

of Georgia Arms and informed him that from now on the DoD will

be destroying the spent brass, shredding it. It will no

longer be available to the ammo makers, unless they buy it in

a scrap shredded condition (which they have no use

for).


The shredded brass is now going to be sold by the

DoD to China as scrap metal, after the DoD pays for it to be

shredded. The DoD is selling the brass to China for less money

than the ammo makers have been paying, plus the DoD has to pay

to have the brass shredded and do the accounting

paperwork.


This sure helps the economy now doesn't it?

Sell cheaper to China, and do not sell at all to a proven US

business. Any hidden agenda working here? Obama going

after the Firearms Industry and our ammunition!!

The

Georgia Arms owner even related a story that one of his

competitors had already purchased a load of brass last week.

The DoD contacted him this week and said they were sending

someone over to make sure it was destroyed. Shell cases he had

already bought!


The brass has no value to the ammo

maker if it is destroyed/shredded/melted.

The ammo

manufacturer only uses the empty brass cases to reload

different calibers, mainly .223 bullets.


The owner of

Georgia Arms says that he will have to lay off at least half

of his 60 workers, within 2-3 months if the DoD will no longer

sell spent brass cases to the industry. Georgia Arms has 2-3

months of inventory to use, by summer they're out.


If

the Reloading Industry has to purchase new manufacture brass

cases, then the cost of ammunition will double or even triple,

plus Obama wants to add a 500% tax on each shell.
