Thanks for the link. That does shed some new light on it.

I didn’t realize galvanized screws and the like was a problem.

I guess they like the shiny aspect of them.

Thanks for posting the HuntForTruth.org site. It is a most useful resource.

It’s real. I have a friend who works with the Condors. The lead is a real issue. I’m not a huge condor fan (sometimes animals go extinct and I can handle it) but apparently eating animals with lead bullets does poison the big birds.

Yes, thanks for this. My friend who studies and tracks condors is a bleeding heart lib. So this means that in her university affiliated job, they are all not willing to accept any other sources of lead. Because I’ve heard her say the ammunition reason and no other.

“settled science” I get it.

So I stand corrected on what I said in my previous.

“This is a scam to make it hard for gun owners to shot and hunt is all.”

I guess everyone is as shocked as I am.

“They are dishonestly conflating lead shot for fowl with jacketed bullets for game.”

I’ve always been suspicious of the justification for banning lead shot, too.

[DoughtyOne]

This would mean that hunters were wounding an awful lot of wildlife, and not killing them.

Something is fishy here.

Bird ping...

I'm partial to Chilean Condors.

Lead shot is bad for the environment, that is indisputable.

Jacketed Lead bullets are probably not.

Thanks!
