Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : News From You

Tue, 12 May 2009 11:34:34 +0000

Here is an example of how the government is going to trample your gun rights: Georgia Arms is the 5th largest retailer of .223 Ammo in America . (they sell 9 mm, .45, etc ammo) They normally buy spent brass from the US Dept of Defense - 'one time used' shell casings by our Military from training on Military bases, etc. They buy the brass and then re-load for resale to Law Enforcement, Gun Shops, Gun Clubs, Wal-Mart, and etc. They normally buy 30,000 lbs of spent brass at a time. This week the DoD wrote a letter to the owner of Georgia Arms and said that from now on the DoD will be destroying the brass - shredding it. It is no longer available to the Ammo makers - unless they just buy it in a scrap shredded condition (which they have no use for). The shredded brass is NOW going to be sold by the DoD to China as scrap metal....after the DoD pays for it to be shredded. The DoD is selling the brass to China for less money than Ammo manufacturers have been paying...plus the DoD has to pay to have the brass shredded and do all the accounting paperwork. That sure helps the US economy now, doesn't it? Sell cheaper to China - and do not sell shells at all to a proven US business. Any agenda working here???? Obama going after our ammunition !!!!! The Georgia Arms owner even related a story that one of his competitors had already purchased a load of brass last week - and the DoD contacted him this week and said they were sending someone over to make sure it was destroyed. Shell Casings he had already bought! THE BRASS HAS NO VALUE TO THE AMMO MAKER IF IT IS DESTROYED/SHREDDED/MELTED. THE AMMO MANUFACTURER ONLY USES THE EMPTY BRASS SHELLS TO RELOAD DIFFERENT CALIBERS - MAINLY .223 BULLETS. Georgia Arms owner says that he will have to lay off at least Half of his 60 workers, within 2 - 3 months if the DoD no longer sells their spent brass to him. He has 2 - 3 months inventory of shells to use. By summer - he's out. If he has to buy new manufactured brass shells, then the cost of ammunitioin to the buyer will double and triple...plus Obama wants to add a 500% tax on each shell. You can read more info and see the DoD letter to Georgia Arms here: The Shootist Site http://www.theshootist.net/2009/03/dod-ends-sale-... Georgia Arms Site: http://georgia-arms.com/ Loss of US jobs, control of ammunition by the new Obama administration....liberalism at its best and on the way to socialism. When times get bad...and they will very soon...only the bad will have guns and ammo. This new "Obomanation" is going to make good citizens into criminals by trying to take our guns and ammo.

Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : Goodbye Columbus (Day)

I totally agree! Columbus never set foot on the mainland. Credited with the first setting foot on the mainland was John Cabot. Actually the first was Leif Erickson 500 years before Columbus. I have never understood why Columbus was credited with "Discovering America". We should be celebrating Erickson Day ...

I just can't believe at least FOX would point this out. I wouldn't expect it of the mainstreams, but I'm surprised somebody hasn't jumped all over this. Do you think if it was the other way around the left wouldn't get on it and spout it just like they do the "INHERITED" word .. ?

Is it just me or what? Why, why isn't any news people INCLUDING FOX not so sick with this "We Inherited" crap that it would about puke? I'm so sick of "WE INHERITED" I can hardly stand it! Yes, they inherited it, this mess the country is in, they inherited it from the Democratic Congress that's been in office for over the past two years! They are in control of the money, they threatened to with hold money for the war in Iraq. This economic melt down happened on THEIR watch and they won't take one iota of blame and no news organization or no talk show will put the blame where it belongs, The Congress!!

He is listening to the people, the wrong people. That's why he's in CA. What better audience for him than there?
