Backdoor attempt by anti-gunners to restrict firearms rights. Death by
a
million cuts methodology.

There are alternatives to lead in ammunition, but it raises the cost
substantially. Common sense is
needed with this issue.

The common sense of not polluting the environment, or the common sense
that the EPA won't mess with the NRA in an election year?


the common sense that expended lead ammunition is not hazardous waste.


That expended lead ammunition is not hazardous waste isn't common sense,
it's wrong. If you don't live in a hunting area, or have a waterway that
passes through a hunting area, or if you don't live near a firing range,
the bill would have little impact on your health. On the other hand if
you take game in an area that has been used for hunting, you may be
bringing home lead in the game that you eat. Carbon dioxide and water
form carbonic acid, which is enough to make lead mobile.
You have a right to your opinion, but not your facts.

Lead is all through our soils. There are old lead silver mines mined by
Indians scattered all across many sections of the Country. Traces of it
are every where. You cannot get rid of lead, in the environment. Lead
shot on heavily hunted water ways where Ducks sift the bottom for snails
is one thing. It has been addressed. Banning ordinary lead rifle and
handgun bullets is another. It is purely a thinly disguised ploy of the
victim disarmament bunch.
The mentality of this group is turning automobiles into appliances that
no one wants to ride in or can afford. They will nibble the edges of
every agenda until they do away with or make it so unaffordable or so
regulated that Americans cannot obtain them.

I said it may not be an immediate problem to you, depending on where you
live, but lead is bad news to small children at low levels. It may be a
small problem to you, but it will be a problem to some one. I'm just
sayin', be aware.
