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 30000 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 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. Act now while you still can or stay silent, roll over and watch our country die!

Ban all guns is the goal. Countries that have, saw crime increase, and only the criminals end up with guns. I'm a hunter, and this is why ammo is so scarce, and even guns now in limited supply. What's next? Nationalize the banks, autos, health care, transportation, all schools, and we have socializem, with 60% tax rates for our children and grand children to pay of 100 trillion of debt.
