How much copper, brass, lead and blue steel did they buy?
Considering the waiting lists for guns and ammo, copper, brass, lead, blue steel, gold, and silver are the only parts of the economy that are not performing miserably. I hope the socialists are paying close attention. If they grab for absolute power, they will fail, but I would prefer to avoid a second civil war - if we can have genuine peace rather than surrender to totalitarianism.
