There has been discussion about this on some other forums and it has been suggested that this may be a mistake or something else and will be rectified. I don’t know but it’s something that I would expect from “zero” and it is huge.
When a friend of mine recently bought 4,000 rounds of ammo (of varying caliber) at a Virginia gun show (most) in hugh sealed cans, I thought he was being paranoid.
Well, I was wrong. I hope the 400 rounds of 357 and 20ga will last me

I don’t know if its real or not, but I would suspect that Obama would prefer to tax ammo than raise the cost by restricting brass. Restricting brass loses the govt money, where a tax would net the feds income. Of course they could be planning to do BOTH.
Maybe not. Gun forums are discussing this and it’s not sure that’s what is going on. Here’s a good discussion.

For one to BLOAT, someone else must SLOAT.
Got any leads?
So I guess Obama’s against recycling. Not very “green” of him.
Don’t worry, folks. The Chinese will step in and bail us out! /sarc
To all FReepers: Call the NRA at 1-800-392-8683 and request they get involved in this.
THe government doesn't care in the least about losing money. They don't work for it - they just take it from those of us who do work.
Ummm....There was further discussion, and THIS popped up :

There are a lot of pretty sensible folks at The Firing Line,and the general conclusion was: This is a BS story-put into circulation by folks who wanted to rile us up.
There are a LOT of “let’s-rile-’em-up “ stories out there.
So the shell casings are now worth their value as scrap.
What overseas company will get it all?
It wont stay in the US, that’s a guarantee.
I doubt an american ammo mfg will get to use the supply of shredded brass, even to melt it down and start from scratch.
China, Korea, or some other huge buyer of US recycled material will get it all.
Maybe it will come back to us, as pieces of the old Chicago elevated trains system came back to us in WWII.

We have to make sure that THEY make the first objectionable move - not us.
That’s why 10th amendment legislation at the state level is so necessary.
So what the article is saying is that the ammo we buy has used military brass??? OK for say .308/.223/9mm but 30-30/.45/30-06/30 carbine (do they still use that?) - you folks with those 50cal’s are in big trouble ....
Maybe. But, I remember that one a few months back about coming shortages of 9mm and .380ACP ammo, and I've been unable to find any .380ACP anywhere - online, in gunshops, even at Wally World.
Sometimes those stories turn out to be true.
