Where has all the brass gone?

DOD memo outlines authority for sale or destruction of expended cartridge brass
These specifics directly address original questions posed by Gun Rights Examiner that were sidestepped when for-the-record comments were requested, and would indicate the direction the installations are following comes straight from the Pentagon. Whether that squares with the spirit and intent of public law and appropriations requirements, and what higher-level directives or understandings, if any (as well as past precedents), shaped the 2011 guidance memorandum under which the bases are operating, are new questions to be explored.

The "government" means to stop ammunition sales. Why do y'all think that a broke .GOV is buying billions of rounds for weapons it doesn't field? Suck it up, this will get way worse A'for it gets better.

It smells right. If it had been political, the demil program would have been dustbinned in a heartbeat as soon as they were found out. If someone is filling their department budget with money they would otherwise not be entitled to, then THAT is a justification for breaking the law (to a bureaucrat.)

Could be taken two ways. While the officer corps is, by law and by tradition, obedient to the civilian authorities, I am surprised that none have had enough conscience to say something about it, in any forum of which I am aware.

Amazing - or I should say "absolutely unbef**kingbelievable - a program existing for my adult life (resale of spent brass) has suddenly been abrogated by an anti-gun administration. Ever more so when one considers the same entity is pending atrocious amounts of "fiat money" to dry up the consumer ammunition market. >Jeff
