Ok, guys, here's a real quick, painless way to write your Senators and Representative and encourage them to prevent the EPA from adopting a complete ban on lead ammunition.
They're using the Toxic Substance Control Act of 1976 as their basis, except the law specifically calls out ammo as exempt from the rules. Make no mistake --the Obama-appointed people behind this proposal are more interested in a de-facto gun ban than saving any kind of wildlife. Not only that, but there's never been any legitimate, peer-reviewed study that I've found that connects wildlife mortality to the ingestion of lead.
The NSSF has the full story here, and you can send an email or letter to your elected officials here. Do it now -- the whole shebang takes less than a minute, and it could help save the future of our sport.
Did you see the piece Norcal cazadora wrote about this?

And read the cover story from PJ O'Rourke in Afghanistan with Radio Free Afghanistan if you have any interest in that part of the world at all. He was in the building here in Prague a few weeks ago and I got to see him speak. Consequently, there are more than one of his books heading my way via Amazon...
Wishing I'd be there for the pending hunt.
Sure
