They were unable to incite violence, so they cancelled the ban.

How biased is this? Ammo is controversial now? did the EPA Cite the influence of the NRA or did they cite the Hazardous materials act which exempts Ammo?

This issue had nothing to do with the environment, it has more to do with the left trying to undermine our 2nd amendment rights.
These envirowackos forget, there is plenty of natural lead in the ground that is there naturally, and is in far more quantity than that of bullets.

Pure politics. This issue was going to hurt Comrade Barky very badly and odds are good he told Lisa Jackson and the EPA dolts to pull the plug on this, pronto.

Nice of US News to admit that banning lead projectiles is about gun control.

I think they backed down because of the strongly worded comment I left at their web site today!

I believe Zero saw that he was going to be in deep crap over this one. I discussed this with our state NRA Field Representstive today. He told me the NRA was planning a massive P-R campaign on this issue. The GOP can learn a lot from the NRA.

Good thing many of us stocked up on new firearms, ammunition, and related gear (or, were already well-equipped).

THEY are afraid of us, and RIGHTLY so.

Though the anti-American left (progressives, liberals, socialists, communists, etc.) have raped and pillaged our freedoms and treasure, it would be infinitely worse IF we were not armed and had our 2nd Amendment rights (our founders were very wise men).

They, the far-left scum now running our country, KNOW that it was when the Brits tried to seize our weapons and ammunition, THAT is what sparked full-fledged armed resistance.

MILLIONS of us a ready and willing to stand up for freedom against a tyrannical government if need be.

Hopefully, this will not be necessary, but let it be known that we citizens are keeping our powder dry.

1. The NRA did not do this.

2. The EPA would still be pushing for such a ban, except the Dems are afraid for their political life now.

3. If you think they will abandon this type of legislation, you are mistaken. It is on temporary hold.

4. The only cure for this crap is to vote the Dems out of office and hunt the subversive individuals down and punish them.

It is TIME to DownSize DC!

Eliminate entire departments (Education, EPA, etc)

Force Congress and the Senate to telecommute most of the year from their home district. Under the thumb of the electorate and away from the lobbyists. Imagine the cost savings and it would totally change the center-of-gravity of the Federal Government.

IT IS TIME!

It also was a politically savvy move to take gun control off the table as the Democrats ready for a very difficult midterm election.”

I read the NRA’s letter to the EPA at their website and I’m convinced what the petitioners were requesting would not hold up in court. Having said that, there’s no doubt that wasn’t the reason the public comment period was closed and the entire idea dropped. This is very strange as the EPA had to think this was a legitimate request when they moved forward with a public comment period just weeks ago. The WH panicked as they knew this was going to blow up in their face in the weeks leading up to an election where they’re going to get rolled as it is.

Look for something similar to this down the road with this administration. I think they’re going to continue to pursue the ammunition angle.

Thank goodness.

But you can bet the issue isn't dead.

If there is one thing the Devil doesn't do it's quit.

I personally think they heard the faint shaking of a rattle on the end of a tail, and due to Obamacare, there wouldn’t be enough anti-venom to survive pressing further.

I can see the fishing sinkers, and maybe there is a better alternative to lead.

As far as projectiles, lead is the proper metal such purposes.
