DOD to Sell Used Ammo Brass to China Monday, April 27, 2009, 7:44 PM Obama to sell one time used shell casings by our military to his friends in Communist China, rather than U.S. Companies who buys the brass to make ammo for Law Enforcement, Gun Shops, Gun Clubs, Wal-Mart, etc. Plus many Americans will lose their jobs. And Obama wants to add a 500% tax on each shell sold in the U.S. Please read all the below article and pass it own to your family and friends, what the Marxist media won't report, we've got the Internet to get the truth out to the people. Breaking news Georgia Arms is the 5th largest retailer of ..223 Ammo in America . (they Sell 9 mm, .45, etc ammo) They normally buy spent brass from the US Dept of Defense - 'one time Used shell casings by our Military - from training on Military bases, Etc. They buy the brass and then re-load for resale to Law Enforcement, Gun Shops, Gun Clubs, Wal-Mart, and etc. 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 said That from now on the DoD will be destroying the brass - shredding it. It is no longer available to the Ammo makers - unless they just 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 Ammo manufacturers have been Paying...plus the DoD has to pay to have the brass shredded and do all The accounting paperwork. That sure helps the US economy now, doesn't It? Sell cheaper to China - and do not sell shells at all to a proven US business. Any agenda working here???? Obama going after our Ammunition!!!!! The Georgia Arms owner even related a story that one of his competitors Had already purchased a load of brass last week - and the DoD contacted Him this week and said they were sending someone over to make sure it Was destroyed. Shell Casings 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 SHELLS TO RELOAD DIFFERENT CALIBERS - MAINLY .223 BULLETS. Georgia Arms owner says that he will have to lay off at least Half of His 60 workers, within 2 - 3 months if the DoD no longer sells their Spent brass to him.He has 2 - 3 months inventory of shells to use.By Summer - he's out. If he has to buy new manufactured brass shells, then The cost of ammunitioin to the buyer will double and triple...plus Obama Wants to add a 500% tax on each shell. You can read the info and see the DoD letter to Georgia Arms here: The Shootist Site http://www.theshootist.net/ Georgia Arms Site: http://georgia-arms.com/ Loss of US jobs, control of ammunition by the new Obama Administration.....liberalism at its best and on the way to socialism. When times get bad...and they will very soon...only the bad will have Guns and ammo. This new "Obomanation" is going to make good citizens Into crinimals by trying to take our guns and ammo. And there will be an armed revolution if he continues, Americans have a history of taking so much, then they fight!! Ofcourse, he doesn't realize this, he's not an American! And he better read some history books and see what happened to dictators in the past. Why isn't our politicians doing a detailed investigation concerning this wannabe dictator concerning his being a U.S. Citizen or not, it appears "not", his family, including his own grandmother, says he was born in Kenya. Why is the U.S. Senate and Congress going to let this "Pathological Narcissists" destroy 233 years of Americans dying to preserve our Constitution and keep the U.S. A free country?

Re: DOD to Sell Used Ammo Brass to China I did find information showing that the DoD has changed its policy back to original. I was unable to verify the claim on the 500% tax on ammunition. All I found was opinion and rumor. Are there any current facts regarding this? I did, however, find the following legislation that has been introduced by Representative Jason Chaffetz (UT-3) on 4/30/09, and has been referred to the House Committee on Armed Services: Affordable Reloaded Munitions Supply (ARMS) Act of 2009 (Introduced in House) HR 2193 IH 111th CONGRESS 1st Session H. R. 2193 To prohibit the Secretary of Defense from implementing any policy to prevent or place undue restriction on the sale of intact spent military small arms ammunition casings to domestic manufacturers of small arms ammunition that are approved under trade security controls. IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES April 30, 2009 Mr. CHAFFETZ introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A BILL To prohibit the Secretary of Defense from implementing any policy to prevent or place undue restriction on the sale of intact spent military small arms ammunition casings to domestic manufacturers of small arms ammunition that are approved under trade security controls. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the `Affordable Reloaded Munitions Supply (ARMS) Act of 2009'. SEC. 2. PROHIBITION ON DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE RESTRICTION ON SALE OF INTACT SPENT MILITARY SMALL ARMS AMMUNITION CASINGS. The Secretary of Defense may not implement any policy that would prevent or place undue restriction on the sale of intact spent military small arms ammunition casings to domestic manufacturers of small arms ammunition that are approved under trade security controls.
