ammo like tungsten, copper, and steel.

Isn't tungsten and steel core ammo illegal for civillian use?

[coloradan]

Of course, many of the tungsten and steel ammos are already banned as “cop-killer” bullets, at least for handguns.

[Sundog]

Obviously. Otherwise, Cheap Chinese Ammo would be flooding the market.

Sending another check to the NRA-ILA to fight this, and so many other assaults upon our Second Amendment rights.

And isn’t _not_ paying your taxes illegal, even if you are a member of the Federal Government?

They just want to restrict “Politician Season”, I bet. [/cynic]

I was hoping this was a John Semmens article.

Touche.

The gun grabbers are using every angle they can. A lead ban is one of the most insidious. Tungsten is very expensive compared to lead in particular. They also know that Steel core ammo will be classified Armor piercing.

The tungsten ammo comes from China. DiFi and AlGore made sure of it by shutting off the last tungsten mine in the US, precluding any more (there's plenty), and selling off the strategic reserve.

I went to a local gun shop (where I bought my AR) and asked for some 62gr. surplus stuff. The steel tipped, not the steel core, and they threatened to call homeland security on me.

I meant to tell them I buy the stuff at gun shows and can order it online even in Illinois. Didn't bother and I don't patron them anymore because these guys would be the first to cave.

Aaahhh Mr National Park Service leftie ville what about the lead that just so happens to occur naturally and sometimes is on the surface of the ground but you would not recognize that AS it is not shaped like a bullet tips but some of these veins would be trillions of bullets in mass.These people are truly Idiots.

Question: How many citizens would it take to, ignoring any and all Federal and State regulations, go and mine tungsten and manufacture steel and bullets, build diesel/gasoline refineries (w/o the ULSD-regs), establish [private] agriculture and power, and generally prepare for CWII to be considered “Of the people” enough that they wouldn’t dare touch us?

Idiots ... I grew up with lead paint being used everywhere, and we played with pure mercury ... letting a drop or two roll aound in our hands ... Acids, too, but not in the hands .... All sorts of stuff to make with chemistry sets —
Flash powder was easyy to make ... firecrackers were common, rockets. 22 rifles for boys ... hunting ...

Baby’s excluded, who in their right mind would eat paint or mercury?

[Anti-Bubba182]

Anyone informing like that does not deserve business. I suspect the day will come when ordinary people will regret doing business with that store.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Another angle to a lead ban in the parks is if anyone carried a firearm for protection with lead bullets, they would be arrested.

[Inyo-Mono]

Say goodbye to hunting with traditional black powder arms.

[Blood of Tyrants]

without regard to science or soliciting feedback from sportsmens’ groups

It was meant to ban GUNS from federal parks for ANY reason.

[silentreignofheroes]

Must also be anti-fishing.

It’s a power move,,ain’t gonna happen.
