Has not all metal at some time been smelted, burned or melted?
Fire won’t melt steel, just ask Rosie O’D.
LOL. Just what I was thinking. Does this mean copper extraction and refining are illegal?
Yep - unless it’s pulled fresh from the ground. Those idiots just outlawed recycling of every type. I swear this country has been infected with a virus that makes huge masses of people dumber than a bag of hammers.
Pretty much. Either theres more to it or its another feel good police state stupidity courtesy of the KY legislature. In the end no amount of law is going to prevent or deter crime esp. in a society bent on drugging itself into oblivion. Here copper cant be sold w/o giving a thumb print. Only problem is the seller gets to do the printing. I strongly suspect the majority of prints are worthless for detection purposes. Until somewhat recently we also had a law dictating a thumb print for gun sales. Thankfully, it was rescinded — they discovered the prints didn’t lead to any arrests. Imagine that....
From the title, I thought the bill included something to have to do with lubricant.
The legislature just voted KY into the stone age.
