A Government Solution

What does government do when there's an ammo shortage and a budget crisis?

Destroys brass.

Idiots. [More]

Just another step in the backdoor ban plan I'm sure.

Idiots?

I think not.

This was done with malice aforethought.

Recycling the brass would be the 'green' thing to do.

Reminds me of all those fine rifles that were destroyed the last time this bunch of douchebags occupied the Whitehouse...

The government is THROWING AWAY MONEY HERE when we're in an econ downturn. Trading $2/lb for .32US/lb.

THAT IS TREASONOUS!

Idiots? Of course they are not. Only an idiot would have missed the true intentions of these acts.

Chipping away at our rights and individualism one small piece at a time.

And, hey, if directly prohibiting firearms in National Parks doesn't work, ban a functional part and then harass those who carry it:

You can have your gun, but it can't have ammo. Coming in 2010!


Here again they fail to draw the distinction between the compounds in paint and fuel to elemental lead alloys. Then they draw an unsupported comparison between birds and mammals. Then they ignore the fact that a study of lead poisoning produced only 200 cases for almost 20 years, and many of those cases were purposeful exposure.

My invitation still stands: anyone who thinks that the alternatives are safe should eat game with tungsten shards. I'll eat a pheasant killed with conventional lead shot. The one who doesn't end up in the hospital wins the argument. Yeah, Tungsten--that's what I want to accidentally eat when I take game that was previously wounded.
