In another brazen attempt to undermine gun rights and gun business, the Environmental Protection Agency’s Criminal Division on March 27th raided USA Brass in Bozeman, Montana.
FBI agents were also on scene.
“USA Brass cleans and sells ammunition casings” which are then reused to make more ammunition.
According to NBC Montana, Agent Bert Mardsen said the EPA was “investigating alleged violations of environmental law.” He would not provide details of the investigation, except to say “there was no immediate threat to the public or the community” at the time of the raid.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, after an investigation of the company in 2013, said the company had “overexposed workers to lead and failed to provide basic safeguards to reduce lead exposure, including breathing protection and protective clothing.”
This EPA style ‘raid’ is not the first of its kind and is not an exception to the rule. The Obama Administration has unilaterally used the EPA throughout its regime to cripple political and economic adversaries.
