I received this email. Any truth to it?

PROOF
THAT WE HAVE SOME IDIOTS IN
WASHINGTON!

Georgia Arms is the 5th
largest retailer of ...223 Ammo in America .. They
sell 9mm, ...45, .223 ammunition. They normally
buy spent brass from the US Department of
Defense. Spent brass is “one time used” shell
cases used by our Military for training
purposes.

They buy the brass, recondition
it, and then reload the brass for resale to Law
Enforcement, Gun Clubs, Gun Shops, and stores
like Wal-Mart. 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
informed him that from now on the DoD will be
destroying the spent brass, shredding it.
It will no longer be available to the ammo
makers, unless they 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 the ammo makers have been paying, plus the
DoD has to pay to have the brass shredded and do
the accounting paperwork.

This sure helps
the economy now doesn’t it? Sell cheaper to
China , and do not sell at all to a proven US
business. Any hidden agenda working here?
Obama going after the Firearms Industry and our
ammunition!!
The Georgia Arms owner even
related a story that one of his competitors had
already purchased a load of brass last week. The
DoD contacted him this week and said they were
sending someone over to make sure it was
destroyed. Shell cases 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 cases to reload different calibers, mainly
.223 bullets.

The owner of Georgia Arms
says that he will have to lay off at least half
of his 60 workers, within 2-3 months if the DoD
will no longer sell spent brass cases to the
industry. Georgia Arms has 2-3 months of
inventory to use, by summer they’re
out.

If the Reloading Industry has to
purchase new manufacture brass cases, then the
cost of ammunition will double or even
triple, plus Obama wants to add a 500% tax
on each shell.

You can read the
information and see the DoD letter to Georgia
Arms here:

*** ban on firearms with certain cosmetic features, and a ban on magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.***

The first shot hit Giffords, second shot wounded another, third shot killed Judge Roll.

So, with a revolver the same three people would have been wounded or killed.

I do not know the order in which others were shot.
