it just gets worse and
worse day by day………
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!
