There are numerous alarming reasons why the US government and the military have been buying up all the ammo. Heres one of them. Obama and the EPA just shut down the last lead smelting plant in the US. They raised the EPA regulations by 10 fold and it would have cost the plant $100 million to comply. You can own all the guns you want, but if you cant get ammo, you are out of luck.
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 be even harder to come by, the demand and the process of supply will cause the price to skyrocket even more. 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 de facto ammo registration. 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. More redistribution of wealth; more economic and liberty crippling of the US on tap.

“I just cannot believe that they are going to stop making car batteries”
Add in the push for zero emission vehicles. The electric ones use batteries (NiMH mostly; Li-ion is another non lead option.)
But China is locking up the rare earth elements, needed for some of these batteries.
No logic to this. But it is not about logic; it is about controlling us.
Thanks!
America will become a full-blown Communist state is there isn’t a counter-revolution soon.
True enough Bob.
I would think that your range has banned steel core and not steel cased ammo. Steel core can rip up backstops and penetrate the mild steel plate that some use for targets.
Big sign reading “Brass Casings Only”
Amazing what you can find on the Internet.

Couldn’t go there yesterday - work blocked that site.
Thanks for the info.
I believe that this is much more significant than the amount of discussion on this thread suggests.
