Carter SecDef nomination raises concerns for gun owners

Still, those associations in and of themselves don’t relate how Carter would be able to use the position of Secretary of Defense to impact gun owners. Here’s one area that it might: In following up on reports of military installations destroying expended ammunition brass rather than making it available to the commercial reload market, this column uncovered a copy of a June 23, 2011 memorandum from Carter on “Department of Defense (DoD) Implementing Guidance for the Commercial Sale of Expended Small Arms Cartridge Cases (ESACC).”

The sale of used cartridge cases by the military might be stopped, which would cut down on reasonably-priced cases for reloaders.

Whether spent brass or rare elements, and folks don't like to face this, even to firearms themselves.... Agenda 21 is happening - including GUNS. UN based control IS being advanced and as gun control itself continues to fail judicially at the hands of the Second Amendment, the controllers seeking to implement WORLD control over small arms will increasingly target MANUFACTURE of ammunition (that's everything from mining rare earths to spent brass and reloading).

Gun control - of all levels- boils down to economic control. Indeed, modern gun control is rooted in control over conmerce. Many don't or won't see that the REAL battle for Liberty itself (guns included) rests upon privileges and immunities within the 14th and how courts overreached by failing to adhere to Constititional limits. Instead they created this due process idiocy that turns rights (guns yes but far more than that) into permissions.

If we are to stop the rolling of the rights to keep and bear we have GOT to understand that the fight ABOUT guns rests within the 14th (not the Second) and it truly boils down to the word privilege (most especially how it's "interpretation" effects "commerce" and THEN how that, in turn, effects gun rights.
