Here we go again, the liberals are pushing for yet another backdoor gun control scheme by trying to ban lead in bullets.

So the envirowhacks want to take on the NRA? Let ‘em try.
They are about to be destroyed by their own overreach anyhow.

What a load of crap. By my calculations 3,000 pounds of lead = 48,000 ounces = 1,344,000 grams. Divided among 20,000,000 birds equals .0672 grams per bird. Number six shotgun pellets weight about .5250 grams each. Therefore each pellet would have to divided into 7.8125 pieces and distributed at the rate of one serving per bird. In addition, that dosage would have to lethal. The size would be about .35MM each. Really!

I have no problem with this. Make all bullets out of steel. Then, all rounds will be "armor piercing."

We need to have this bill drafted and passed right away, we can call it "the law of unintended consequences."

Hunters and their families average 12% less lead in their bloodstreams than the general population.

They’re like the original “Organic Dudes”, man....

13.7 million birds die each day from natural causes. Even if the 20 million were corrct, which it is not, it wouldn’t amount to a hill of beans.

Questions: Lead is a naturally occurring substance. How is it that there's a problem? And we know that a gazillion birds die of lead poisoning exactly HOW? More Bravo Sierra science from the EPA?
