Obama got his backdoor gun regulations through his EPA, by getting Doe Run Lead Smelter company to shut down by the end of the month. Doe Run Company, which was has been operating in this country since the 19th century will be closing it’s doors for good at the end of the month? Why? It’s all because of Obama’s backdoor gun regulations through the EPA. The corrupt arm of the Obama regime raised the regulations by 10 fold and it would have cost the plant $100 million for Doe Company to comply. They can’t and so the last lead smelter will shut it’s doors for good on New Year’s eve. This means, any bullets you purchase for your legal firearms next year, will have to come from China, or some other country.
The first contact the EPA made with The Doe Run Lead Smelter in Herculaneum, Missouri (population 2,800) was in 2008 but it was in 2010 that the EPA finally forced Doe Run to plan a shut down. This plant has been in operation since 1892 but will finally close its doors this month. It was the last lead smelting plant in the US.
The closedown is due to new extremely tight air quality restrictions placed on this specific plant. President Obama and his EPA raised the regulations by 10 fold and it would have cost the plant $100 million to comply.
In response to the Doe Run lead smelter shutdown, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said the Doe Run Company “made a business decision” to shut down the smelter instead of installing pollution control technologies needed to reduce sulfur dioxide and lead emissions as required by the Clean Air Act.
