There are alternatives. It will spark many new materials. Still a shame though.
tungsten commodities
Reduce ammunition
Reduce private land.
reduce the cattle
reduce coal
what else?
Thanks for posting. I did not see the original posting and this is very interesting.
Again, EPA fixes nothing. When the work goes to third world countries, the environment suffers exponentially.
I heard that almost lead for ammo comes from recycled batteries,etc. Don’t know for sure though.
Let us hope your are right. I imagine once an alternative is found, the gov will move swiftly to ban it, calling the new rounds “armor piercing” or “cop killers”, despite little evidence proving so.
If anyone’s car develops a shimmy, its probably because I stole your wheel weights.
Reduce healthcare—destroy actually
what else?
Agenda 21 is making great progress.

EMP anyone?
I’ve heard that lead for ammo comes mainly from secondary smelters, recycled batterys and such. I’m sure someone on here has more info on that
All I have is an old mossberg 22 but I love it. And hate this administration’s backdoor tactics.
There are many components that go into making a cartridge. If there is a shortage of just one of the components and it is difficult to find a replacement for the component then there will a shortage of the entire cartridge. This is a supply chain problem and much more complicated than shuttering a lead smelter. However, the demand that creates the supply chain problem is the root of the shortages. I have a big problem with local, state and federal agencies establishing paramilitary forces and spending our tax dollars to force their socialist will upon us. I also have a problem with the line at my local Walmart on Thursday at 1 pm where the same people buy ammo before it gets placed on the shelf. Specifically, my problem is that I cannot usually be there at 1 pm because I work.
Reduce the humans.
I buy my lead from scrap and cast my own.
I buy my rifle bullets and reload my own.
I have about 500 pounds of lead on hand and enough components to reload upwards of 250K rounds - not counting what I have loaded and ready to go.
Screw the EPA - there’s always ways around their dictates.
FREEDOM???????????????????????????????

This is why I'm not caring about the social issues this year and in 2016, because we need to get people elected who'll battle Obama and the Harry Reid led Marxists. If we lose, we will lose a lot of rights.
reducing inmates
Thats all they can do until we reduce them. Its coming.......
