Trump administration declares brass instruments a national security threat

7 days ago by Sundray to c/nottheonion

Critics are shocked by the brass neck of it.

The administration argues that relying on imported metals could reduce demand for American-made materials, leaving the US with less domestic production and fewer critical supplies in the event of a national emergency.

And because brass instruments are made mostly from copper and zinc, they have been swept into the same net as fire extinguishers, floor safes, electrical cables, welding-machine parts, and tanker trailers.
