Next,they need to resurrect the lead smelter the Obama Admin killed off.

The myth that won't die. Reopening that place won't change anything. That was a primary smelter for processing ore. The ammo business uses secondary recycled lead.

You are forgetting that the lead to replace what they use has to come from somewhere. Lead is a consumable good. Ore has to be smelted somewhere for the new car batteries.

Until the supply of recycled lead dwindles…..
