Obama Administration Requires Miltary to Shred Spent Casings Before Sale
Interesting, if they can't outlaw guns they can always try and make ammunition unaffordable. The real kicker is this is shipments to even police departments to be canceled. Also it devalues the salvage value of spent casing by 80 percent. Also it appears that our good buddy China will end up with most of the brass.
Update: Apparently after this was noticed the policy was changed to only require rounds larger than .50 caliber. See below the fold.
Hat Tip: Vaak.
NOTICE!!!Nice!
A hardy congratulation is due to our loyal customers, our good friends, and our fellow shooting enthusiasts through out this great nation! Due to the diligent and overwhelming effort of many thousands of you, calling, writing, and emailing our elected officials, DOD Surplus, LLC, has rescinded its prior directive that ALL small arms spent casings be mutilated rather than recycled. This was a huge victory for common sense and we would like to thank each and every person who made an effort and played a role in correcting this mistake. We at Georgia Arms are proud of everyone who took the time and had the courage to stand up for our rights. We believe, that by your outpouring of anger and dismay, you not only extended our liberty and freedoms but also took a stand for economic common sense in a time when we know our government should be trying to reduce costs at all levels rather than throwing money away for some politically correct reason or the other. Again, our hat is off to everyone who helped and thanks to God as well. We will roll up our sleeves and go back to work; we have 223’s and 308’s to build! (Below is a copy of the email we received from DOD on 3/17/09 @ 4:30pm)
GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!!
