Bear with me, I have NEVER posted a new thread.

You did good.
You didn’t kill the html formatting, and anything that is out of whack in the arrticle body the mods can fix easily.

It's perfect.

I recall this in the news a while back when there was a major ammo shortage, it's good that it is kept in the news for it does appear to be senseless outside of political agenda.

[GrannyK]

I just don’t understand why they want to destroy the shells when the military will also have to pay more for ammo.

[J Edgar]

“...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. ... “

These people are not idiots, they are cunning, treasonous wolves, mounting an attack on the Second Amendment. Make no mistake, death camps are on the way! IMHO

This is just the regime doing what it can to reduce the supply of ammunition. It is so desperate to keep the people unarmed that it will literally spare no expense to do this.

I just don’t understand why they want to destroy the shells when the military will also have to pay more for ammo.

I can only guess it is to create a shortage and at the same time, get rid of all casings that aren't bar coded.

The story is a year old and the policy was changed almost as soon as it was initiated.

Update: http://www.theshootist.net/2009/03/plowshares-beaten-back-into-bullets.html

DoD decision rescinded.

[smokingfrog]

The same story was going around about a year ago, but I heard everything got straightened-out.

Thanks! I was told this but in my opinion we all need to keep vigilant and expect this from those in charge.

[Republic]

This is a waste of OUR MONEY and it is meant to punish and destroy the ammo business in the private sector. If folks cannot afford ammo, they will not buy it for practice and only use it when necessary. Too bad. This is wrong.

ANd it is such an abuse of our tax dollars.

Liberals suck. aND THEY ARE STUPID....DO THEY NOT KNOW THAT GOVERNMENT CHANGES WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ELECTED? DO THEY THINK THEY ARE SAFE WITH GOVERNMENT CONTROLLING EVERYTHING? JUST WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE THE ONES IN THE HOSPITAL HALLWAYS SCREAMING WITHOUT HELP OVER THE PLUG BEING PULLED ON A BELOVED CHILD BECAUSE STATISTICS SHOW HE OR SHE IS GOING TO BE TOO EXPENSIVE TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICALLY. AND IT WILL BE THE POOR BLACK FOLKS AND THE POOR WHITE FOLKS AND THE POOR HISPANIC FOLK WHO SUFFER THIS FIRST BECAUSE THEY ARE THE LEAST POWERFUL OF ALL...THE ONES WHO WANTED THE FREEBIES AND THEN FIND OUT THEY GOT SATAN IN A GOVERNMENT WRAPPED PACKAGE, INSTEAD.

Nothing wrong with your post, but . . .

PLEASE read the original article more carefully!

1. The article is dated March 2009.

2. In huge capitals at the original article, it says "This situation has been resolved." This was posted last March and everyone wrote their congresscritters and it was rescinded.

Sorry if I sound short but I'm posting from my iPhone.

Moronic economics... moronic politics... deprives Americans... benefits the Chinese... yes, this has “Washington Handiwork” written all over it.

America has fallen into a pit of PC insanity, and it’s digging itself in ever deeper day by day.

[YHAOS]

An aborted attempt to do an end-run around the Second Amendment.

Pure and simple.

[FormerACLUmember]

You did exceedingly well, GrannyK. Welcome.

[FormerACLUmember]

Not idiots, but rather totalitarians who hate the Second Amendment.

[dalebert]

looney idiot ping

[GrannyK]

Thanks! I guess I should have done more research but my blood was boiling when I read the story. My grandkids love to come to our farm and shoot their guns, I was worried we wouldn’t be able to buy ammo for them to practice. They retrieve all the empty shells before they go home.
