Red state ammo factory raided by EPA and Bureau.
2014-03-31
[Daily Caller] 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."

#1  Lead is certainly what they were 'looking' for but more likely this was simple harrassment (either from the EPA or whomever called them in. I suspsect this sort of thing will be more common.
