Army Ammunition Plant Is Tied to Mass Shootings Across the U.S.

“A Defense Department official, in a statement, said “commercial utilization brings lower costs to the Army and taxpayer, and keeps a skilled work force better positioned to respond to surge requirements.” The official said a 2021 study found that the government received a 10 to 15 percent discount on ammunition by allowing commercial sales.”

The military industrial complex and the government have a co-dependent relationship. As a result, taxpayers save money on defense spending and are subject to the widespread distribution of this ammunition.
