Prices to rise sharply as Amerika’s last lead supplier calls it quits.
SAINT LOUIS, Missouri (PNN) - November 1, 2013 - A couple of years ago we opined that the anti-gun establishment had found a loophole for the Second Amendment and that rather than targeting the banning of all firearms, it would instead turns its attention to ammunition.
The Fascist Police States of Amerika government’s most recent efforts to reduce open market availability through taxation, individual purchase restrictions and a massive stockpiling effort by the Amerikan Gestapo Department of Homeland Security division has forced ammunition prices to nearly triple, while also dwindling supplies of many popular calibers.
But the fascist government is not done yet.
In fact, it may have finally found a way to circumvent FPSA-based domestic production altogether.
The all-out attack on Amerikans’ gun rights is now being taken to the next level.
The goal is to regulate all forms of ammunition out of existence, and the FPSA is starting with Doe Run, which is the last of Amerika’s domestic lead processing and manufacturing facilities.
Now the only ore-to-lead producer in Amerika… the largest in the Western world… has been shut down by fascist and unconstitutional Environmental Protection Agency regulations.
EPA’s regulatory uncertainty and an estimated $100 million to convert [to non-smelter manufacturing] caused the company to finally throw in the towel.
It’s not just ammunition that’s disappearing. Amerikan industry… Amerikan jobs… are being regulated out of existence as well.
Lead’s still going to be manufactured in China, but it’ll be done without any environmental oversight. I will be scarce, it will be expensive, and we will have fragile supply lines.
It’s party of multi-pronged attacks on ammunition.
- Drying up the market by hoarding billions of rounds
- Shutting down the market with background checks, registration, and banning of online sales
- Environmental regulation to ban the use and manufacture of lead
After we can no longer manufacture ammunition domestically, we have the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty to stop the importation of ammunition.
If you look at the multiple ways the fascist government is trying to remove all ammunition - not just certain guns it claims are dangerous - there’s no question that this is about all-out gun control.
Doe Run is scheduled to layoff its workforce and close its doors before the end of the year.
With no more lead being processed in Amerika, we are now completely dependent on our largest creditor, China, to supply the necessary base metals for ammunition production.
This will have the immediate effect of further limiting supplies, while also increasing prices, and we can expect this soon after Doe Run’s closure this December.
Furthermore, in April of this year, James Rawles of SurvivalBlog.com detailed new importation restrictions set forth in a Presidential Executive Action following the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting, which bans the importation of military surplus items, including magazines, firearms accessories and, of course, foreign ammunition.
Couple this with the implementation of UN “authorized” trade restrictions set forth in the new UN Arms Trade Treaty, and you can see where this is headed.
It is not an over-exaggeration to suggest that ammunition supply lines will soon be cut, effectively making it nearly impossible to acquire firearms in Amerika.
