Banning lead?; lead isn't green...

I don't have the whole story or know for sure if this is true, but a buddy of mine told me at lunch something about how the greenies want to put a ban on using lead for bullets...? Anybody hear about this? It seems pretty slick if they can't ban guns to just ban the lead! We would sure hate to poison that poor deer's brain with lead when that bullet take him down...

You are correct! The state of California already banned lead wheel weights on cars and now ammunition..........

Quote:
 
WASHINGTON – At the same time federal agencies like the Department of Homeland Security are buying up ammunition stockpiles around the country and shipping large quantities overseas for use by the military, the Obama administration is now pushing states to mandate “green ammunition” that is free of lead.

The result? Ammo supplies for law-abiding citizens have dried up in recent months, and experts expect it to get worse.

“The potential exists for a de facto ammunition ban,” says Ryan Bronson of the Minnesota-based National Shooting Sports Foundation.

Some sources even describe the developments as a conspiracy to limit Americans’ Second Amendment right.

Unprecedented ammunition shortages have been in headlines for months, with stores often limiting purchases to one or two boxes, if they have the desired caliber at all. Often retail shelves that used to hold abundant ammunition supplies display nothing but dust.

Now it appears the developments creating that unwelcome convergence include a campaign to move toward non-toxic, non-lead bullets because of the health concerns associated with lead, the mass purchases government is known to make, and even the shipments of supplies overseas.

Health concerns

Sources say health-care advocates are arguing that lead bullet fragments, especially in game such as venison, are neurotoxins that can harm children and developing fetuses.

Yup. I read about this too. If it starts in California, expect the rest of the country to follow.

Steel. Duck hunters have been using steel shot for years when it was discovered that ducks were ingesting lead shot from feeding from lake/river's bottom.

I wonder if lead bullets will become valuable?

Lead is preferable over steel, heavier, expands better, more range .
