HuntForTruth.org Launches New Media-Rich Website Designed to Combat the Misleading Campaign to Ban Lead Ammunition Throughout the U.S.

To educate and assist lawmakers, regulators, hunters, recreational shooters and the general public about the efforts to ban lead ammunition nationwide, HuntForTruth.org has launched its new and improved website www.huntfortruth.org to make all updated facts about the lead ammunition debate available.

This website incorporates extensive information regarding opposition to proposed lead bans while delivering the content in an engaging format including an interactive map, video, slideshows, social media, news feeds, wildlife info, a live eagle cam and a convenient method for opposing AB 711, California’s proposed statewide ban of lead ammunition.

Self-proclaimed environmental organizations are pushing to prohibit the use of traditional lead ammunition in hunting and recreational shooting. These radical groups are now going so far as to claim that eating wild game taken with lead ammunition is a serious health risk to hunters and their families.

Evidence shows that the groups attacking use of lead ammunition have employed faulty science, used questionable scientific methodologies and selectively "cherry-picked" data to support their preconceived conclusions in their campaign against lead ammunition. In fact, some researchers who have published anti-lead papers funded with taxpayer dollars are actually thwarting attempts by third parties to independently review their work. They simply refuse to publish the original data on which their studies were based.

Lead ammunition ban proposals are already in the works in multiple states across the country. All hunters and recreational shooters need to learn the real truth behind the anti-lead ammunition proponents’ agenda to ban lead ammunition, not only in battleground states like California, but everywhere in the United States. Anti-lead ammunition groups will not rest until all lead ammunition, and ultimately hunting, is banned. This is their “Get The Lead Out” campaign.

As the Humane Society of the United States' President, a notorious anti-lead and anti-hunting proponent, Wayne Pacelle states: “We are going to use the ballot box and the democratic process to stop all hunting in the United States. We will take it species by species until all hunting is stopped, then we will take it state by state.”

Even if lead ammo bans haven’t reached your state yet, they will affect you if you want to hunt in other states. You will have to purchase non-lead ammunition and your hunting rifle might not be sighted properly. You would have to make sure there is no lead ammo in your gear from your last hunt.

Act now, subscribe at HuntForTruth.org to defend our traditional hunting heritage.

ANTI-HUNTING GROUP’S SCARE TACTICS CLAIMING LEAD AMMUNITION IS A HUMAN HEALTH RISK ARE SHAMEFUL

In a recent article, the Audubon Society (Audubon) continued its shameful use of scare tactics to push for a state-wide ban on the use of traditional lead ammunition in California (AB 711).

Online resource exposes truth about lead ammo ban efforts (plus a video)

Thanks for the site. I distributed it to those I know in California with big mailing lists.

My major criticism of this site is that they cite papers without providing links or bibliographic references to them. Bad form there.

THE PRIMARY ISSUE BEING IGNORED IN THE LEAD AMMUNITION DEBATE: ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF LEAD IN THE ENVIRONMENT

Their links are not readily obvious; thry're faint, at least to me. My eyes aren't that good.

You have to inspect closely. A magnifying lens may help. The 5th paragraph has 2 links. The 6th paragraph has 1 link. Move your mouse over the text. The links are not underlined on my end, but a hand icon appears when I'm over a link.

Thanks, but I don't need the links or citations; they do. I know the lead ammo hazard gambit is garbage. I want HuntforTruth.org to cite the applicable data for those reading their refutation of these bogus claims specifically in the article Anti-Hunting Group’s Scare Tactics Claiming Lead Ammunition is a Human Health Risk Are Shameful. In that piece, they don't link to the UCSC study they are criticizing, the Audubon Society report, or the CDC report they discuss. There are no links or bibliography at all. If they expect the piece to be effective with those who really do want to know the truth, then they must provide source references.

“My eyes aren’t that good.”

Now, that is a negative thought you don’t want to reinforce by acknowledging it. Instead, you should be telling yourself: my eyes are good; my eyes are seeing better, etc.

Why a magnifying lens when we can simply zoom in on the display until we get the text size we want, using ctrl + and ctrl - repeatedly?

Should have posted this when I was here a couple of days ago, but didn’t.
