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.

If
you're not outraged at what this administration is doing you
should be! Be Afraid! Be Very Very Afraid! Get involved! It's
Your Freedom and Our Country They're Stealing! If You Fail to
Act Now, there may not be a Free United States
tomorrow!
I implore you to get involved and forward
this to as many people as you can. Contact your legislators
and put them on notice, We're fed up with what's going on in
the name of stimulating our economy!
