EPA agents raid ammunition company on alleged ‘environmental violations’

These blatant and unwarranted attacks upon our freedoms , our industries, and our patience, must be addressed! The alphabet mafia must be SHUT down! Until then, they’ll keep poking their fingers into our eyes, till finally, they get a rise out of us.

Friends, I say enough is enough! When they come to your door, dispatch them to the waste lands of eternal doom. When they come to your neighbors, be prepared to help him do the same.  

 As things ramp up for the final conflict, keep that steely resolve of freedom, burning in your eyes. And face those creatures with the fury of righteous indignation, of which they so desperately deserve.

Dispatch them with extreme prejudice.

Environmental Protection Agency and FBI agents raided the ammunition company USA Brass over alleged “environmental violations” early Thursday morning.

NBC Montana was tipped off by witnesses that federal investigators were there until at least 4 a.m. on Thursday. Federal agents could be seen going through the company’s building and taking items to a truck parked outside. EPA lead criminal investigator Bert Marsden said that the agency was looking into alleged “environmental violations” by USA Brass.

“We are investigating alleged violations of environmental law,” Marsden said on Thursday. “An investigation takes as long as it takes, and I can’t provide any details as it relates to that.”

“I can make a statement that there is no immediate threat to the public or the community at this time,” said Marsden.

It’s unclear exactly what the environmental violations were, but USA Brass has come under fire from federal agencies before for lead exposure. USA Brass cleans and resells used ammunition casings, and NBC Montana reports that local health officials found elevated levels of lead in the blood of 22 current and former employees.

Last September, the company was fined more than $45,000 by the U.S. Labor Department for 10 serious violations. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) also found that USA Brass has overexposed workers to lead and failed to “provide basic safeguards to reduce lead exposure, including breathing protection and protective clothing,” reports NBC Montana.

“The toxic effects of occupational exposure to lead have been well known for a long time, but this employer did not have basic safeguards to protect workers against this hazard,” Jeff Funke, OSHA’s area director in Billings, said last September.

It’s still unclear whether or not EPA and FBI agents were also looking into lead exposure issues. An OSHA inspection in March actually found that the company complied with federal requirements for several months, apparently learning from its mistake last year.

The company said it would reopen on Friday morning.

  1. Environmental violations riiiight.

    The government allows chemtrails, gmo’s, fluoride in the water, round-up (which is a by product of agent orange), fracking, radiation and much more. This has nothing to do with the environment and everything to do with the fact this company produces ammunition.

    I know, it’s one of those gee ya think? moments.

    1. Come across the border and stock up tax free!We hear love your business and dollars(while they are worth something!).

  2. According to what I read all you had to do was have your workers put on shit breathers while you reloaded……but you didn’t.

  3. She’s off and on James. Her immune system is gone, and I have her at the vet once a week. She’s fine while on her meds, but before they wear off, she’s back to biting at herself. 🙁

    1. Errr.,I know is a bit weird ? but any holistic stuff geared towards our 4 legged buddies that might work?I hope you can soon find a answer for your little bud,soon will have nice days and be nice for her to just kick it in the better weather and be a bouncing ball of happy fur!

      1. I’ve tried a few things, but nothing has worked. The hospital didn’t give her a long outlook in life, they basically told me 1-3 years, and she will be 3 in August. She has had a good run, and I don’t know if I’m being selfish by keeping her medicated because I don’t want to be without her. But it tears me up having to deal with the inevitable and having to put her to sleep. The meds are getting too expensive though and this is going to be a tough decision. She’s such a good gal, loving and protective and a lot of fun. She’s the only dog that I know who can spell. Yes, I said spell. We spell out the name of her toys and she gets them. Can you believe that?

        1. Actually,I can believe it,heck,think most dogs smarter then the majority of people and certainly more social.I know it sucks to be in your shoes with these decisions,have been there myself,have belief you will do the right thing though as your love for the pup obvious.In the end you need to think what is best for her,listen,she will let you know,take care and best of luck to ya’s.

          1. James, I was just thinking of some great memories of my gal, and had to share with you that her favorite songs are: Bob Marley Three Little Birds, and Van Morrison Brown Eye Girl. I sang them to her all the time when she was sick and she still loves them to this day.

            My apologies Pastor for getting so off subject.

          2. Eh,doubt any offended by love of a family member.I had a siamese on last stretch,he stayed on my quilt even though not always making box,washed quilt daily.He hung on quilt while Holly and I friendly,purred like a young kitten during those times,knew a good vibe!His time short but could tell glad he shared good times,bit weird I know but his purring made the decision a done one for both of us,he is busting dogs asses in the next life now!

          3. They know James, when the time is near and they love to the end, and that makes them so special. They love you until they draw their last breath. I don’t want to make my girl suffer, and that is what makes this so hard.

            You’re a good guy. Thanks for listening. I’m off to get some shut eye. Till tomorrow. Have a great night.

    2. hey, I had that same problem with my pets. I take hempUSA.org for my back and I’m giving to my cat and thank God its working he’s making a recover, this hemp gold is great stuff the best.

  4. Go ahead and shut em down pigs. We will just take our ammunition straight from you rifles when we step over your lead riddled corpse’s. Hows that for a f##king epa violation?

  5. Bahahahahaha! Omg….now every government entity is getting involved in raiding gun places without a warrant. I’m sorry to laugh but this is so laughingly ridiculous and blatant, downright in your face unconstitutional and treasonous acts. I can’t believe there is no one fighting back with this by force, yet.

    What’s next? The CDC raiding ammunition centers for health, chemical and biological reasons? Oh come on, people…….

    WHERE ARE THE MILITIAS??? WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE??? FIGHT BACK, DAMMIT!!!
