Gun control advocates used plight of iconic California condor to push legislation.

A pro-hunting group is up in arms after obtaining emails that it says indicate that a federal official withheld critical data on lead blood levels in the California condor until after gun control advocates in the California state legislature used the iconic bird’s plight to help push through a law last year to ban lead ammunition.

...

Lawrence Keane, NSSF senior vice president and general counsel, accused the Fish and Wildlife Service of deliberately sitting on the report in order to bolster the chances of passage of Assembly Bill 711, which ushered in the nation’s first statewide lead ammunition ban.

Hey, look, I don't have a problem with a ban on lead ammo ..... it's too soft, anyway.

So now get someone to sponsor a bill to change the law and the effects of this legislation. Even if the courts are involved, the will of the people can and will prevail under conservative leadership at the national level and using logic enshrined in the constitution. Everything can be changed, nothing is permanent! Grassroots involvement is the answer.
