Fire Obama

"Rodge,  what in-your-face outrage has the Kenyan
wetback posing as the US President  perped now?"

Fire Obama

Feds undercut civilian supply of ammunition
Policy leaves manufacturers without brass for cartridges

A recent government policy change has taken a bite out of the nation's already stressed ammunition supply, leaving arms dealers scrambling to find ammo for private gun owners.

Georgia Arms is a company that for the last 15 years has been purchasing fired brass shell casings from the Department of Defense and private government surplus liquidators. The military collects the discarded casings from fired rounds, then sells them through liquidators to companies like Georgia Arms that remanufacture the casings into ammunition for the law enforcement and civilian gun owner communities.

But earlier this month, Georgia Arms received a canceled order, informed by its supplier that the government now requires fired brass casings be mutilated, in other words, destroyed to a scrap metal state.

The policy change, handed down from the Department of Defense through the Defense Logistics Agency, cuts a supply leg out from underneath ammunition manufacturers. [cont]

Of course, with each passing day, these sort of actions increase demand for the product. And, While I do not recognize Obama as a lawful President, I do recognize he has the power to destroy me.  And you.

According to Clayton Cramer, this idiocy has been rescinded.

Why was it instituted in the first place? I understand Jefferson's "eternal vigilance" dictum, but every waking second?

I'm glad they turned this around as quickly as they did.

Like Roger I wonder who comes up with these ideas and why?

The American Legion Commander met with Obama the other day. It didn't go well. The Obama wants to save money and not provide care for Veterans with line of duty injuries - http://tinyurl.com/cplw3d

That once-fired brass is giving me a woodie.

On a sort-of-related note, why would Mexican narco-traffickers want to get semi-automatic firearms from the U.S.? Wouldn't it be easier to get fully-automatic weapons leftover from the Guatemalan Civil War? They're just over the border . . . .

I also see where one item the DHS is getting all excited about is the seizure of a CVA .50 rifle someone tried to take into Mexico. http://tiny.cc/6g7Xm It's a black powder rifle. What kind of self-respecting drug dealer uses a flintlock?

Chuck: Mexican civilians buy such ... they still have to be smuggled because permission to own is always denied unless you have pull.

They can buy full auto stuff as well from the narcos ... but that can be dangerous, as such purchases also require favors as well as cash.

The Narco-thugs get real military grade hardware smuggled in with the drugs ... they wouldn't get caught dead with a semi-auto US copy.

Well, anyway, AmmoMan.com is out of everything that is not FMJ. The shelves at the Ft. Lauderdale Bass Pro are empty of pistola feed as well.

Ready to pay $100.00 a box?

Ironic in that the DOD is under tremendous pressure to reduce, reuse and recycle. I think that there is even a presidential mandate to that effect. I know ammo in all flavors is pretty scarce right now here in the Greatland. I am so glad that I stocked up before Most Beautiful Leader, B. Hussein Obama was anointed.
