Obama's 'clandestine' plan to make bullets vanish
Allen West warns of back-door attack on guns
Published: 2 days ago  Text smaller Text bigger3.9KFormer U.S. Rep.
Allen West, R-Fla., is joining the National Rifle Association and
other gun-rights groups to warn about a back-door attack on the Second
Amendment by the Obama administration’s Environmental Protection
Agency.

Ex-Rep. Allen B. West, R-Fla.
In a column posted on his website Sunday, West wrote about the Doe Run

company’s lead-producing plant in Herculaneum, Mo., which is being
forced to close after the EPA required it to spend up to $100 million
on upgrades.
Doe Run, the last primary lead smelter in the United States, has been
around since 1892 but is closing on Dec. 31.
West accused Obama of using the EPA to advance “backdoor gun control …
while we are all distracted with Obamacare and Iran nuclear
negotiations.”
West argued the Obama administration’s “new extremely tight
air-quality restrictions” have led to the end of lead as the primary
metal in bullets — making ammunition much more expensive and less
accessible and leaving America no choice but to turn to overseas
operations to produce lead bullets, a situation West says is akin to a
federal power grab on guns.
“Come 2014, all ammunition sold to civilian gun owners in America will
have to be imported, a result of President Obama’s crackdown on sulfur
dioxide and lead emissions and accompanying harsh Environmental
Protection Agency regulations,” wrote West.

“[This] will surely increase the price and possibly come under

government control,” Mr. West warned, according to a Breitbart.com
report. “It seems this is fully in concert with the U.S. military and
Homeland Defense recent purchase of large quantities of ammunition.”
He said the “chilling effect” is that while the closure of the smelt
plant doesn’t take guns out of the hands of Americans, it does put in
jeopardy ammunition supplies.
As the largest lead producer in North America, Doe Run was embroiled
in a decade-long battle between angry parents, government regulators
and environmentalists, who argued the plant was responsible for high
levels of lead in the blood of children in the area, according to an
August story on Mid-Missouri Public Radio.
The battles over contamination in the town pitted neighbor against
neighbor and culminated in a flurry of lawsuits. One of them singled
out the EPA and forced the federal government to revise the national
air pollution standard for lead, tightening it by a factor of ten.
The NRA-ILA issued a press release in response to Doe Run’s closing:
Doe Run made significant efforts to reduce lead emissions from the
smelter, but in 2008 the federal Environmental Protection Agency
issued new National Ambient Air Quality Standards for lead that were
10 times tighter than the previous standard. Given the new lead air
quality standard, Doe Run made the decision to close the Herculaneum
smelter.
Whatever the EPA’s motivation when creating the new lead air quality
standard, increasingly restrictive regulation of lead is likely to
affect the production and cost of traditional ammunition. Just this
month, California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law a bill that
will ban lead ammunition for all hunting in California. The Center for
Biological Diversity has tried multiple times to get similar
regulations at the federal level by trying, and repeatedly failing, to
get the EPA to regulate conventional ammunition under the Toxic
Substances Control Act.
“You can own all the guns you want, but if you can’t get ammo, you are
out of luck,” West wrote, on his blog. “Remember when President Obama
promised his minions that he was working on gun control behind the
scenes? Welcome to it. The result is that all domestically mined ore
will have to be shipped overseas, refined and then shipped back to the
U.S.”
West warned: “Not only will ammo be even harder to come by, the demand
and the process of supply will cause the price to skyrocket even more.
And ponder this: There is an excellent chance that Obama will rig the
market to where all ammo has to be purchased from the government,
instituting an ammo registration. … So America, backdoor gun control
is moving forward … [and] our Second Amendment rights are undergoing
an assault by clandestine infiltration.”
West concluded his editorial by bashing the president’s “progressive
socialist acolytes” for destroying the Second Amendment before telling
fellow GOP politicians, “Now it’s our move in 2014.”
 


Are you worried ammunition is becoming more scarce?

 No, I think all ammunition should be banned from civilian ownership
 No, lead is banned from paint, toys, pencils and other objects. It

should be banned from ammo as well
 No, I don't see anything wrong with getting rid of lead from

ammunition. Suppliers will simply replace it with something safer
 No, this is just common sense. Lead is highly toxic, and ammunition

kills people. They should both be banned
 No, I'll just make my own bullets
 Yes, but any federal bans should stimulate the 3-D printer industry
 Yes, empty store shelves don't lie
 Yes, this is just one more way to discourage Americans from

exercising their 2nd Amendment rights
 Yes, citizens will have no protection if Obama goes bonkers and

declares martial law
 Yes, and I have no idea how America will survive three more years

under the thumb of this oppressive tyrant
