[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2426886, member: 27307"] Something we should all be aware of: [H1]EPA Shutting Down Last-standing U.S. Primary Lead Smelter[/H1] by[URL='https://thenewamerican.com/editor/william-f-jasper/'] William F. Jasper[/URL] November 5, 2013 [URL]https://thenewamerican.com/epa-shutting-down-last-standing-u-s-primary-lead-smelter/[/URL] Note the date of this article. The terrorist organization, EPA, has waged a war against the lead industry in this country for decades and they shut down our last lead smelting company in 2013. There is still some mining of lead taking place in the US, mostly in Missouri at the Red Dog Mine. But lead is now only reclaimed in the US from used batteries and sold as reclaimed. Lead mines are mostly found, wait for it, in CHINA where mining and smelting are still allowed. This means two things: Lead mined here in the US has to be transported to China for smelting then transported back to the US for manufacturing such products as lead wire for bullet cores and lead for cast bullets adding a huge cost to these products. The recycled or reclaimed lead can be used for these manufactured products without additional refining but with the added cost of reclaiming. Our costs will continue to rise based on what China feels will hold our feet to the fire for their greater profits. The current regime here in the States will apply more taxes on Chinese products and add restrictions as to what can be brought into the US. Feel that noose tightening? Casting and shooting lead was always considered to be really cheap but take note, this is coming to an end just like many of our rights. [/QUOTE]
