I bet the NRA now look like the bunch of foolish idiots that they are for trying to cosy up to the democRATS.

NRA dumbshits.

1983 civil rights violation lawsuit against every person involved in that mess. They want to do this, fine, see you in court. Oh, and to the punks doing this, you do know that it’s your PERSONAL money that is at risk... you can’t hide behind your job with a civil rights lawsuit.

Think hard on this EPA... We will come for you in the worst way through the courts.

If the EPA doesn't manage to make this stick, it'll just be something else they or another agency try to do in order to avoid facing up to the SC decision that the Second Amendment is an individual right rather than a gift from the government. The Education Dept and the EPA have to go. Anything worthwhile that they do can be done by a smaller, new, limited, replacement, one that is created with sunset provisions in their charter. Once those two are gone, we can start working on others and on shedding about half of the Departments and Agencies we need to keep.

If the EPA approves the petition, the result will be a ban on all ammunition containing lead-core components.

I assume that this would apply to the US military? If not, then the revolution will not be far off...

[depressed in 06]

Abolish the EPA!

[piytar]

Good article on the express exemption (well, OK, it's "express" but hidden in legalese) of amunition from the EPA's authority under the 1976 act: http://mainehuntingtoday.com/bbb/2010/08/26/does-epa-actually-have-authority-to-ban-lead-ammunition/

In other words, if they try this, it will be lawsuit time. A slam dunk lawsuit, at that.

[JRandomFreeper]

I won't comply. I state that here openly.

Now what?

As word on this gets out, I suppose we can expect another run on ammo. But are the manufacturers ready? I imagine that they’re running the lines hard already.

[Conservative Vermont Vet]

The EPA must accept or reject the petition by Nov. 1, the day before the midterm elections.

Am taking bets (though this is a no-brainer for anyone who has seen this Corrupt, Chicago-Thug, Fascist, Regime up close and personal) that IF the EPA chooses to accept this petition, they WILL come up with some excuse to delay their ruling until AFTER the election, as that would gurantee an extra 15-20 seats (LOSS) in the House and 2-3 more in the Senate, for the "Rats!"

[Carry_Okie]

Lisa Jackson is seriously considering a petition by the Center for Biological Diversity, a leading anti-hunting group, to ban all traditional lead ammunition under the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) of 1976.

CBD is virtually a creation of Ted Turner's.

[ZULU]

In addition to responding to this new rule proposal - a probable exercise in futility, pro-Second Amendment and Constitutionalist Americans should be pressing thier Congressmen to work FAST to head these Bolsheviks off at the pass by adopting a FEDERAL LAW barring the Federal Government from enacting any stricter regulations on lead ammunition than currently exist.

By the time something gets this far in the bureaucracy, you can be ASSURED that that agency is merely going through the motions of seeking public input. They have ALREADY made up their minds.

And stopping this dead with a federal law is the best way to go - NOW while those damn “Blue Dog Democrats” and RINOs are worrying about the November elections.

AFTERWORDS, they will ignore the public AGAIN for two years.

And who exactly is going to go around and collect all the ammo that’s already out there?

[FreedomPoster]

BANG

Anyone have a good idea on a local place to buy a half a ton or so of lead? Cash?

[300winmag]

There are a couple of problems, the first being that when Congress passed the law it specifically exempted ammunition. So what the EPA proposes to do is illegal. The second is that there is no scientific basis for restricting lead ammunition on the basis of protecting the health of humans or wildlife.

So? When have trivial loopholes like that stopped liberals, especially after The One has declared, "yes, we can"?

10# lead weights on sale at Amazon.com for 28.50, how many rounds can be made from 10# of lead.

Incredible gall. Why do voters believe Democrats?

Where in the world has the government caused biological diversity?

Have you ever seen the marine life at a Gulf oil rig?

The logical contortions liberals have to go through...
