Brass Scrapping Reversed
 
According to the Montana Shooting Sports Association. This is grassroots advocacy.
 
    Dear MSSA Friends,
 
    I just received a phone call from the office of U.S. Senator Tester of Montana to inform me that at 5:15 (EST) today a letter cosigned by Senator Tester (D-MT) and Senator Baucus (D-MT) was faxed to the Department of Defense asking DoD to reverse its new policy requiring destruction of fired military cartridge brass. At 5:30, I am told, Tester's office received a fax back from DoD saying that the brass destruction policy IS reversed.
 
    Others report to me that they are already seeing evidence of this on the Websites of entities that liquidate surplus DoD commodities.
 
    Our thanks go out to Senator Tester and Senator Baucus, and their staff, for getting on this problem promptly and making the reversal happen
 
    Staff for Tester and Baucus promise they will get me the documentation for this reversal tomorrow morning. I'll forward that when I get it.
 
    Best wishes,
 
    Gary Marbut, president

Thank you Senator Tester and Senator Baucus for getting involved. I noticed these Senators are Democrats too. Democrat must have some other meaning in Montana. Go Montana!!

I'm glad to hear that.  The brand of .223 ammo I buy is remanufactured stuff, using surplus military brass with Nosler bullets.  My Handi, and Mini-14s shoot it well.

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.
