Obama is selling our Ammo(.223)shells to China!!!
WTF is Obama doing this for?????...This is very serious.
AMMO
>>> 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 want to add a 500% tax on each shell.
>>> You can read the information and see the DoD letter to
>>> Georgia Arms here:
>>> The Shootist Site

>>> 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 you can. Contact your legislators and put them on notice, We're
>>> fed up with what's going on! This is a call to action.
