Stock Up on Bullets: EPA to Close Last U.S. Lead Smelting Plant

It seems virtually every federal government agency, at least under this president, is a rogue agency, and the EPA is no exception.

That’s not quite accurate. You see, when one hears the word rogue, it conjures up thoughts of abandoning one’s directive. “Oh, him. He went rogue. We can no longer control him.” That type of thing.

It appears that this administration’s prime directive is to allow these agencies to go rogue. Just look at the evidence of department after department’s involvement in one scandal after another.

Yet there is one agency that is head and shoulders above all in the “rogue” department. The EPA. This is the agency that, if left unchecked, can literally mean the end of our country.

Not that the IRS, or Homeland Security, or other federal departments aren’t also dangerous; they are. But none more than the EPA. It’s not even close.

What other single entity is capable of shutting down entire industries. They are in charge of the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land on which we walk. That’s pretty much everything.

The latest industry to be quite literally driven into extinction by the EPA is the lead refining industry. The last lead refiner in America will close its doors forever on December 31, 2013. All do to stricter “regulation.” And gee, what is lead used in? Bullets. And is this the administration’s way around legislation to disarm the people? Without bullets, are guns pretty much useless? Yeah they are! Get it!

See, that’s what the EPA does. It tells industries that they are welcome to stay in business if they just adhere to these new standards. These standards are for our own good, you know.

“What do you mean adherence will bankrupt your company? What do you mean the new standards are ridiculous, unnecessary and can’t be met? Oh well, I guess you’ll just have to close down.” And that’s how it works, every time.
