Can't remember where I read it, but there was something floating around the internet about the EPA getting ready to declare ammunition an "environmental hazard" as a precursor to banning all lead ammunition.
So I think there may be some truth to the DHS stockpiling enough ammunition to kill every man, woman and child living in America five times as they get ready to shut down the ammunition plants.....
Since the Feds banned incandescent light bulbs, they have shown they can ban anything. Banning bullets, for environmental "reasons", will be a piece of cake for them. Once they have all the bullets, the people can have all the guns they want, what does the Fed care? They have guns AND bullets.
4 or 5 yrs ago, two of the mid-state PA sportsmen’s ranges I went to with a friend, while I was visiting the area, had their indoor range bldgs shut down by EPA/DER/DEP/DNR due to “high lead level contamination”, and were condemned. I don’t know the current status of the 2 bldgs. He told me that they were told all outdoor ranges were going to be ‘targeted’ for complete shut down due to lead contamination, within 10yrs, or sooner, if possible.
