Behind your back with Obama's gun control

Received today in an Email and it looks legit.

All you can do is shake your head.......

All lead for bullets will have to come from overseas! This move will also make the cost 100 LL (100 low lead aviation fuel) UNAFFORDABLE. Approximately 2 g of lead is added to each gallon of aviation fuel!

There are numerous alarming reasons why the US government and the military have been buying up all the ammo. Here’s one of them.

obama and the EPA just shut down the last lead smelting plant in the US. They raised the EPA regulations by 10 fold and it would have cost the plant $100 million to comply. You can own all the guns you want, but if you can’t get ammo, you are out of luck.

Remember when obama promised his minions that he was working on gun control behind the scenes?

Welcome to it. Now, all domestic mined lead ore will have to be shipped overseas, refined and then shipped back to the US. Not only will ammo now be even harder to come by, the demand and the process of supply will cause the price to skyrocket even more.

And ponder this… There is an excellent chance that obama will rig the market to where all ammo has to be purchased from a government entity instituting de facto ammo registration.

So much for the Second Amendment. There has not been a peep about this in the major news outlets and it is done.

With the US no longer producing lead, all supplies will now have to come from China, Australia or Peru, with the overwhelming emphasis on China. More redistribution of wealth; more economic and liberty crippling of the US on tap.

Marxists will do or die and are doubling down on the destruction of energy in America, our way of life and the Constitution.

The smelting plant has known since 2010 this was coming. They couldn’t stop it and no one else rose up to stop it either. The business had been in production for 120 years and now goes the way of our auto industry.

The military’s obsession with ammo was related to security and supply. They knew this was coming too, so they bought up all they could get before the plug was pulled. Screw the average American. It’s as Chris Muir said, he’s not as worried about where the bullets will come from, as much as how the government will deliver them and I’m right there with him on that one.

So, back door gun control is moving forward and while we are all distracted with shiny stuff, our Second Amendment rights are just about gone. obama is one Marxist dictator who is savvy at political chess. He has flanked the Second Amendment. Now it’s our move.

You can Google this if you don’t believe it, or read this article:
http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/16881-EPA-closure-of-last-lead-smelting-plant-to-impact-ammunition-production

http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/16881-EPA-closure-of-last-lead-smelting-plant-to-impact-ammunition-production

Long term what this means: Your investment in ammo may be your best investment. Guns will be plentiful but ammo will be another story. How does $3.75 a round (that’s for one bullet) for a 9mm work for you? Box of 50 would only cost you $187.50

Do we have a great president or not?

This is an excellent example of how material is posted on this site and absolutely no background checking is done before the material is posted. Included in the post are many mentions about how our president is responsible. This is typical bashing of our president with false and misleading information and it seems to prevail on this site. these people that do these posts are so proud of themselves and yet they are totally wrong and they never say so. This is an indication as to the honesty and integrity of some people on this site being not too great.

A quote from John Stuart Mill ( http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/John_Stuart_Mill ) that's bound to stir up the hornets nest around here:

"I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. I believe that to be so obvious and undeniable a fact that I hardly think any hon. Gentleman will question it."

Now please excuse me while I go don my flame proof suit...

I'm glad that you were able to get that off your chest, Silver. Now, go take your meds and hop back in the sack. ;)

A few problems with this article:

1. The EPA standards for lead emissions sited as the cause of this smelting plant's closure were set in 2008 under the Bush administration, not the Obama administration.

The changes were the result of a 2004 lawsuit which claimed the EPA had been remiss in its lawful charge to review lead emission standards every five years. The courts found this to be true and ordered the EPA to conduct such review. The result was the new standards that went into effect in 2008.

2. Although this closing is of the last primary smelter operated by the Doe Run Company (that is, one which smelts mined lead ore), the company will continue to operate its secondary shelters (those that process recycled lead), as will other companies within the US.

The NRA has stated that recycled lead "is the type most used by ammunitions manufacturers" and that the plant's closing should have no effect on ammunition supplies in the US.

The biggest problem with viral emails is that they too often get passed along without the least bit of effort to check the underlying facts.

In addition the ammunition makers say it will have no effect, but why let the truth get in the way of a good conspiracy theory. More BS spread by those too damn lazy to do a little fact checking on their own.

It looks legit because you couldn't be bothered to verify/fact check it yourself. someone put a couple links to a biased website and that's good enough...

FYI the newamerica.com is part of the John Birch Society, the mother of all conspiracy theory groups
