I dont have all the details, so bear with me. I just have the basics of what happened.
Basically someone was passing something ordering the spent brass from the military to be destroyed instead of reloaded and used again. Which, for civilians, would translate to higher prices, AND reduced availability. There is absolutely ZERO point to do this except to get a low blow on the gun community. Luckily the NRA stepped in and took care of it.
So if you shoot .223/5.56 thank the NRA.
And if you are a gun owner and arent in the NRA, you need to be. If not the NRA, then some type of similar group.
EDIT: Heres a link to the article I saw earlier. This is before the NRA stepped in I beleive.
