THIS SHOULD SCARE YOU ENOUGH TO PASS IT ALONG TO THOSE ON YOUR EMAIL LIST. The Doe Run Lead plant is right here in Missouri and Yes, it is closing due to over regulated EPA rulings. All you can do is shake your head....... All lead for bullets will have to come from overseas! This move will also make the cost 100 LL (100 low lead aviation fuel) UNAFFORDABLE. There are numerous alarming reasons why the US government and the military have been buying up all the ammo. Here's one of them. Obama and the EPA just shut down the last lead smelting plant in the US. Remember when obama promised his minions that he was working on gun control behind the scenes? Welcome to it. Now, all domestic mined lead ore will have to be shipped overseas, refined and then shipped back to the US. Not only will ammo now And ponder this. There is an excellent chance that obama will rig the market to where all ammo has to be purchased from a government entity instituting So much for the Second Amendment. There has not been a peep about this in the major news outlets and it is done. With the US no longer producing lead, all supplies will now have to come from China, Australia or Peru, with the overwhelming emphasis on China. Marxists will do or die and are doubling down on the destruction of energy in America, our way of life and the Constitution. The smelting plant has known since 2010 this was coming. They couldn't stop it and no one else rose up to stop it either. The business had been in The military's obsession with ammo was related to security and supply. They knew this was coming too, so they bought up all they could get before the So, back door gun control is moving forward and while we are all distracted with shiny stuff, our Second Amendment rights are just about gone. obama is You can Google this if you don't believe it, or read this article: http://www.thenewamerican.com/ usnews/constitution/item/16881-EPA-closure-of- EPA Closure of Last Lead Smelting Plant to Impact Ammunition Production In forcing the country's last lead smelting plant to close, the Environmental Protection Agency is making a severe impact on the manufacture of ammunition. By Joe Wolverton, II, J.D. The last-lead-smelting-plant-to-impact-ammunition-production Long term what this means: Your investment in ammo may be your best investment. Guns will be plentiful but ammo will be another story. How Do we have a great president or what? |

Could be why I have seen more polymer bullets coming out lately. The core of the bullet could be of any material to add weight and coated in say teflon. |

The facts are that the Obama Administration moves on industries that they don't like through the EPA (because it goes around Congress). They have heavily impacted the coal industry and coal fired power plants at a time of increasing electrical demand. The cost of their regulations shut down the last lead smelter in the US. Are they going after private gun ownership by limiting availability of ammunition? Why have they banned importation of certain types of ammunition? Let's see, who actually trusted this big government of ours? |

I don't see 'lead' going away anytime soon,,,,,,,,, automotive and industrial use batteries need lead, correct? I do see the libs doing what they can to eliminate or vastly slow down ammo manufacturing |

ALLEY CAT, agreed but now we have to rely on companies from other countries. |

What are companies doing with all of the returned, dead, core batteries? Batteries are one of the most recycled items in the U.S. I read somewhere |

ALLEY CAT, again you're 100% spot on. The recycled lead is used in new car batteries. This is one of the greatest recycling successes. Lead is being phased out of shotgun shells for waterfowl hunting. Lead has been eliminated from wheel balance weights. Many different bullet materials are being developed. Lead was also eliminated from motor vehicle fuel but not aviation fuel. Ethanol is illegal in airplane gasoline. |
