Brass Shell Casings - You Got to Read this one to believe
it!!!
Be sure you are setting down when you read this one!
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.

When we think we have heard it all, Obama does something else that weakens our country. They are on target to take all guns from every citizen and provide products to China at our cost.
Did you see the flag flown in Washington at the massive march? It had no stars but Obama's picture where the stars should be. Unbelievable!!!
We don't deserve it but may God have mercy on us.
