Allen West: EPA Engaging in
Backdoor Gun Control

From Allen West:
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 backdoor 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
shutdown. This plant has been in operation since 1892 but will finally close
its doors this month. It was the last primary lead smelting plant in the U.S.
The closedown is due to new,
extremely tight air quality restrictions placed on this specific plant.
President Obama and his EPA raised the regulations tenfold, 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.
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.
