    The thing about shooting range people is that they have money to blow on ammo and don’t care what happens to the brass. With a little cheap forge, even an occasional range trip can net you all the ingots you could ever desire.

        Brass left at ranges is swept up and used by somebody. Likely somebody who reloads for fun. Reloading is not cost effective unless you are shooting really expensive ammo. Must sort out the different case sizes and metals, and discard damaged cases. Then you need equipment (so space and money) and time. There are risks: if you mess up and add too much powder to a cartridge, you might blow up your gun (or yourself). The possible savings: ~15 of the 30 cents per round you spent on nice new 9mm.

    3 years ago these same ancap dorks were saying that cryptocurrency and nfts were going to revolutionize the global market, bring down governments, and usher in their ancap paradise, because they have such a deep understanding of what money is and how it works
