EPA
decision to close last US lead smelter will NOT affect ammunition supply or
cost according to NSSF
There has been a great deal
of discussion on the NMLRA Facebook page and on the internet in general about
the EPA's recent decision to close to nation's last lead smelter and how this
will affect prices and availability. However, Lawrence Keane, senior vice president and
general counsel for the National Shooting
Sports Foundation (NSSF), which represents
the ammunitions and firearms industry advises that there is no need for alarm.
“Manufacturers use recycled lead to make ammunition. They don’t buy from smelters,”
Mr. Keane said. “The EPA closing, which has been in the works for a while, will
have no impact on production, supply or cost to the consumers.”
