"Not intended for political or gun control debates. If you don't like guns and shooting, stay out of this forum!"

Those of us who like guns can certainly celebrate when a politician does something right, no? I wasn't making a debate.

I think you missed the point.

You, the creator of this thread, the OP, made it political by using a political slogan.

Reap what you sow.

Ryan Zinke, Interior secretary, scraps ban on lead bullets

So now if you get shot in the head, you could die from lead poisoning. Nice!!

can this thread please be moved to the hunting and fishing forum since it isn't about shooting.

Lead bullets have never been banned for normal shooting, just for use on FWS wildlife refuges that allow hunting or fishing

Lead is only illegal in SC when duck or goose hunting. That's it. And that includes all land. This is why the fed should NOT be involved in state business. Fuck the feds.

Lead is a hazardous material and there are alternative mediums that can be used to make bullets without a significant change in price. There's no reason to be against phasing out lead altogether when it comes to ammunition. Shooters should be the first ones pushing for non-lead bullets, since we're the ones handling them most often. There would be no issue of "ammo ban by way of lead ban" if we encouraged ammo producers to stray from lead and into composite bullets, for example.

I would like to see alternatives created for hunting and fishing; especially in fishing where losing tackle is really common. It's safer for everyone if lead isn't used. But I can't be for an outright ban until an alternative is common.
