Backdoor attempt by anti-gunners to restrict firearms rights. Death by a
million cuts methodology.

There are alternatives to lead in ammunition, but it raises the cost
substantially. Common sense is
needed with this issue.

The common sense of not polluting the environment, or the common sense
that the EPA won't mess with the NRA in an election year?


the common sense that expended lead ammunition is not hazardous waste.


That expended lead ammunition is not hazardous waste isn't common sense,
it's wrong. If you don't live in a hunting area, or have a waterway that
passes through a hunting area, or if you don't live near a firing range,
the bill would have little impact on your health. On the other hand if
you take game in an area that has been used for hunting, you may be
bringing home lead in the game that you eat. Carbon dioxide and water
form carbonic acid, which is enough to make lead mobile.
You have a right to your opinion, but not your facts.
