DLA to destroy once fired brass before selling as scrap

[deamonpi]

This post on the blog THE SHOOTIST explains what the heck is going on with the recent DOD order. Basically we're screwed. Georgia Arms exec was interviewed on Tom Gresham this afternoon and stated that the ammo market is going to see an IMMEDIATE impact. Like in weeks...prices going to skyrocket and availability will go right into the crapper. DOD contracts will be cancelled as of tomorrow (Monday 3/16).

Also included in the blog entry is a well written sample letter, that he said you can use.  So please use it.

Almost any of you are better than I am at this, but GET IT OUT THERE GUYS! Congress, Lou Dobbs, Hannity, the whole bunch....where is the NRA? Let's get on this...it's wasteful from a monetary and environmental standpoint AND it's backhanded gun control. Shut them down with public  outcry.

It is already starting.  Do some searching on this site.  This one auction is what is appearing all over the place on that site now.

 I was on the Georgia Arms website and hey have a pop-up page announcing that the fired brass mutiliation order had been rescinded as of 4:30 on 3/17. Looks lie the pressure worked, though I'd stil like the story of it got there and what killed it.

MB is saying the same in his blog.

And Jim Shepherd has an excellent article in today's Shooting Wire saying the same thing. http://www.shootingwire.com/

Be ever vigilant!

There will be dozens or hundreds or thousands of these attempts. One tool they will use is to wear us down with constant, across the board attacks ranging from all-out efforts to little, below the radar (they hope) weasel changes like these.
