California Lead Ammunition Ban (AB 711) Goes to Assembly Floor

An excellent question. Supposedly, the bill exempts ammo used for target shooting or self defense. But existing DFG regulations make that fuzzy during the hunting season. Right now, if you carry a pistol for self-defense during the deer season in Kondor Kountry, and you have lead ammo in that gun, Mr. Ranger will cite you for having lead ammo; this despite the fact that you didn’t use that pistol or its ammo to ventilate Bambi. So this bill would affect the right of hunters Statewide to defend themselves from 2- and 4-legged threats with tried-and-true lead ammo.

Some time ago, someone warned that the “green movement” was cover for a larger effort to establish across-the-board control over everything.

Nah. Couldn’t happen.

What the herll good will that do? Even IF the peopel prevail, and the bill is dropped- it will just be put through again by soem judge AGAINST the people’s will just liek prop 8 tiem and itme again-

I guess the only other “soft” metal we will be able to use for hunting bullets that will expand so it will kill a deer before runs 500 yards away and dies would be gold. I’m sure the idiots in Sacramento would allow that. So what if it costs us $500.00 a round.

I wonder if anyone in CA would be motivated to hunt condor by this bill. The logic, of course, is if there are no condors, then there is no need for the bill.

Coyotes, Golden Eagles, and DNA are already doing a number on them.

How does this affect the military, the police etc.? Does it extend offshore and up in the air?

Thanks for the informative response. Interesting stuff in there. I appreciate it.

Unlike New York, California’s legislators are smart enough not to write laws that disarm the police. ;-)

Giving lead poisoning to a home invader is considered cruel and unusual punishment in CA.

And to think, back in 1982 the voters of California turned down Prop 15 which would have banned handguns in Kali. Since that day, the politicans have been working overtime trying to get around the will of the people. Can't ban handguns? Maybe we can ban a type of handgun, like semi-auto. They will still have revolvers, for now.

Maybe we can ban magazines for the handguns if they hold too many rounds.

Maybe we can ban what the bullets are made of.

OK, lets go away from handguns and ban semi-auto rifles!

A never ending struggle to keep your Second Amendment rights!

Gold —

Some years ago one of the shootin’ mags cast up a couple of silver bullies, like the Lone Ranger.

Didn’t work so well, too hard as I recall.
