    Considering wire that has been stripped with out burning is easy to see . These laws I think are designed to reestablish how metals are handled & theft . Aside from law there is a trend that the Shred pile is to be the main spot to except .
    Yesterday I went to the yard & made $85 with a load that looks like trash to the average eye .
    When any one who comes with me & watches the selling aspect , they say to me " You need a collage diploma for this "
    It's complicated they say !!
    Regulation is the word of the day . To be a scrapper is to be free . Free to make that extra buck to save your life and family .
    These regulation's have a purpose to Little by Little change an industry remove the freedom from some one such as me .
    The end result materials are to be handled by regulated companies , that is the end game .
    Will it happen ?? It's all about the bottom line ( cash) If the bottom line is not affected then lobbyist related to Scrap industry
    will not fight it . The rights of scrappers can be stripped away ( A Pun ) after all it's not like we have an NRA running ads .
    Scrapping metal is not a second amendment

    BUT

    We have , The ninth amendment
    The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

    It is up to scrappers to properly define in law what metals can be sold on the Up and Up & force the right to express
    But are there enough of us to effect a vote .
