#2 18,000 tons of ammo in a year’s time and approximately "2,865 tons of bullets

Assuming by "bullets" they mean cartriges, that's a bit strange.

#3 No, by bullets they mean bullets. Lots of people here manufacture their own cartridges as well as reload their spent rounds.

#5 We could create a lot of jobs making them, rather than importing them.

#6 I think we can buy manufactured Lead, but can't make our own because it's toxic.
