repost from 2009.
Our President is cutting our military/defense and breaking our government and trying to make us subjects! We can then all bow down to the west!
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.
You can read the information about it here. See the DoD letter to Georgia Arms here If you're not outraged at what this administration is doing you should be! Get involved! It's Your Freedom and Our Country they're stealing! I implore you to get involved and forward this to as many people as you can.
Let's examine why the Obama administration would do something like this. These policies are the same as his energy policies. Make energy way more expensive to make solar and wind power seem more affordable by comparison - to hell with how it will destroy our economy. Make our ammunition way more expensive to prevent us from buying it in as large of quantities, or in many cases all together. This is Gun Control and a clear infringement of our 2nd amendment rights. If he can't get our guns he will get our ammunition.
