According to new EPA regulations we can no longer smelt lead from ore in the United States.
The Doe Run Lead Smelter in Herculaneum, Missouri, in business since 1892, was forced to shut down by the EPA due to the extremely tight regulations. It was the last primary lead smelting plant in the U.S.
After December 2013, all ammunition will have to be imported, which will increase the price and place supply under government control.
This is in concert with the enormous purchase of over 2 billion rounds of ammunition by DHS.
This government wants you disarmed, one way or another.
I am one who steers very clear of tinfoil hat conspiracy theories. I often believe progressives plant stories in order to distract and disrupt, enabling them to pursue their true goals and objectives. That’s why I stress the importance of staying focused on the modern liberal socialist policies of the Obama administration, not the sideshow antics.
However, as a former combat commander, I have been trained to look for trends. And I believe we’ve found a very disturbing one. it seems that back door gun control is in full effect in the United States. Why? Thanks to Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), we can no longer smelt lead from ore in the United States.
The first contact the EPA made with The Doe Run Lead Smelter in Herculaneum, Missouri (population 2,800) was in 2008 but it was in 2010 that the EPA finally forced Doe Run to plan a shut down. This plant has been in operation since 1892 but will finally close its doors this month. It was the last lead smelting plant in the US.
The closedown is due to new extremely tight air quality restrictions placed on this specific plant. President Obama and his EPA raised the regulations by 10 fold and it would have cost the plant $100 million to comply.
In response to the Doe Run lead smelter shutdown, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said the Doe Run Company “made a business decision” to shut down the smelter instead of installing pollution control technologies needed to reduce sulfur dioxide and lead emissions as required by the Clean Air Act.
Of course this is why we need serious regulatory reform that precludes executive agency fiat, especially regulation implementation that exceeds a certain adverse financial impact to a private sector business.
Of course the canned progressive socialist response is “For years families with children near Doe Run’s facilities have been exposed to unacceptable levels of lead, one of the most dangerous neurotoxins in the environment,” said Cynthia Giles, assistant administrator for the EPA’s Office of Compliance and Enforcement Assurance. There are a few auxiliary lead processing plants remaining in the USA but their function is to re-claim lead from old batteries.
What this all means is that after December 2013, any ammunition that will be available to US citizens will have to be imported, which will surely increase the price and possibly come under government control. It seems this is fully in concert with the US Military and Homeland Defense recent purchase of large quantities of ammunition.
The effect is chilling: you can own all the guns you want, but if you can’t get ammo, you are out of luck. 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 lead ore will have to be shipped overseas, refined and then shipped back to the US.
This has got to be one of the dumest things I have ever read!!! Hundreds of thousands of people have no drinkable water in West Virgina and you are screaming that there is too much regualtion? A chemical plant was built right next to a river which supplies drinking water & then it had not been inspected for over 20 years & there is too much regulation? OMG!
Use copper.
WASHINTON DON’T WANT YOU TO HAVE BULLITS YOU CAN HAVE A 100 GUNS BUT THEY ARE NO GOOD WITHOUT BULLITS.
EPA needs to be shut down

Fire Obama.
The only thing Obama could do to make me happy is Fire John Kerry, Fire Eric Holder, Fire Everyone of his Appointees, and Remove each of Executive Orders, they are all unpatriotic and unconstitutional and hurt the citizens of the United States, like the NDAA, Obamacare, The Patriot Act, and the new and improved and Unconstitutional Patriot Act. After doing all that, Obama needs to Retire.
Our government did not give us our Human Rights and Freedoms we have because we are free men and women. The Bill of Rights documents our human rights and freedoms we have because we are free so our politicians will not forget we have them.
If you are not MAD, you are not paying attention.
The words below are from our Declaration of Independence, I know Obama, our current Senators, our current Representatives, our guys and girls in the Judicial Branch and the guys and girls in our Federal Agencies, and Obama’s Appointees and Administration who can not keep their Oath of Office to support and defend the Constitution of the United States do not recognize or respect them. Many of our nation still love the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States which are the only things that make us different than Iran, Iraq, China, Cuba, and Indonesia where Obama grew up.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation…………….
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness……….

End our stupid War on Terror and quit wasting trillions of dollars to murder innocent civilians.
Obama sent the EPA out to totally stop all lead production in the United States of America (USA). Lead smelting has been totally outlawed in the United States of America (USA) at a huge cost to employment (lost jobs), and all lead goods no longer manufactured in the USA. More jobs sent across our USA borders!!!! Read below. It seems the EPA rules only apply when needed to apply by Puppet Obama.
Puppet Obama’s attack on COAL FIRED ELECTRIC GERATION PLANTS in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:
Importing massive amounts of ARAB ISLAMIC MUSLIM OIL from AFRICA is still ok. It is just the jobs that coal createsin the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA that Obama dislikes and wants to do away with.
Obama never has had an issue with POLUTION IN THE USA!!! His global warminG ploy was to open up the USA for United Nations Peace Force to come in and destroy our constitutional rights!!!!
ILLINOIS “fracking” SHALE OIL: Perhaps the Huffington Post has “misunderstood” George Soros puppet Obama’s true plan for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’s environmental condition. Read below as I share some research concerning Obama’s true plan for the USA and our environmental future.
This is a trade agreement that George Soros Puppet Obama is pushing to pass. The president who says that the EPA must crack down on our coal fired electRic generating plants to save the “World-Climate”. The same president who signed a trade agreement to bring the United Nations Peace Force into America to stop Global Warming.
A dangerous trade pact between the U. S. and 11 countries along the Pacific Rim called the Trans-Pacific Partnership would strip our government’s power to manage U.S. gas exports, opening the floodgates for fracking, sacrificing our air and water quality in order to feed foreign markets. So it’s no surprise the United States Trade Representative is negotiating this trade agreement in almost complete secrecy.
To keep us in the dark some members of Congress are now proposing to fast-track the process in order to quietly and quickly push this trade agreement across the finish line without your input.
If Congress thinks they can flood our communities with more fracking thanks to a secret trade agreement, we’d better flood their offices with messages.
