I got email from a friend IT said ammo companies cannot but empty brass casesing anymore from the DOD(dept of defense)The Dod was mandated to shred up brass and sell to china at less money than American companies would buy the once fired cases for. IS this for real?

I understand they tried this, but received so much flack they backed off.

Don't let someting discourage you from keeping an eye open. The way we get news spread out it by bringing these kinds of things up. If it is old, that only means YOU hadn't seen it yet, not that you are doing anything wrong.

When you run across something like this that concerns you, BRING IT UP! I'd rather tell people that something is old a hundred times than miss one important item. Working together is what gives us strength.
