The Shootist reports that several purchasers of expended brass ammunition casing from the Department of Defense have been notified that they may no longer use the brass for reloading and resale. The DOD, effective immediately is requiring that the shell casings be destroyed. They can be shredded and sold as scrap, but they can’t be reloaded and resold on the civilian market.
One company, Georgia Arms, was purchasing, remanufacturing, and reselling over a million rounds a month of .223 ammunition. They will have to lay off 60 employees and cancel contracts to supply ammunition to a number of police departments.
The Shootist predicts a surge in ammunition prices.
Do you believe in coincidences?

This is an ominous sign? Hopefully its a sign of less future gun violence.
