NRA to Condors: Sorry, but We?re Going to Keep Killing You With Lead Bullets

For a few short days last week, the National Rifle Association posted its second “enemies list” on a new NRA-sponsored website called huntfortruth.org. Mysteriously, the website is now down, citing “scheduled maintenance” after a week in existence. Yet the list, once published, is now present in the collective conscious. On it are zoos, environmental groups, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, all of whom the NRA is admonishing for their desire to ban the use of lead bullets by hunters.

TakePart first learned of the story on Wednesday, after the Seattle Post Intelligencer reported that huntfortruth.org had posted the following: “Self-proclaimed environmental organizations are pushing to prohibit the use of traditional lead ammunition in hunting and recreational shooting. These radical groups are now going so far as to claim that eating wild game taken with lead ammunition is a serious health risk to hunters and families.”

The group went to say that “Anti-lead ammunition groups will not rest until all lead ammunition, and ultimately hunting, is abandoned.”

The list comes at a time when new legislation is being considered by the California State Legislature that would ban the use of lead bullets throughout the state. At present, lead bullets are banned in habitats favored by the endangered California condor.

Only a small percentage of US hunts. Last I read, the NRA's own figure was something like 7%. That does not mean that 93% are against hunting. Some are, certainly, but many have no opinion or erroneously believe the lying propaganda that says hunting is somehow a 'good thing'.

But, why not stop using lead in bullets?

Find a replacement that performs as well or better than leadand at the same price as lead and I'll be glad to use it.
( the claim that lead is a serious risk to meat harvested by hunters is horseshit)

There is no end to liberal insanity.

It's for the children.

It is when the hunter feeds his family with the meat. Around here, that's a regular occurrence.

So it looks like the only lying propaganda here is yours.

There is no credible evidence that consumption of game killed with lead bullets causes significant rise in Pb poisoning of those that eat wild game.

Lead bird shot has already been banned in several states...simply because some stupid birds tend to eat the shot that misses them and lands somewhere else.

Obama's proposed wind power installations are expected to kill far more birds and bats than any amount of bird hunting will do.

Let's ban the wind farms instead.

Yep!
Way too many believe that hunting is not a good thing when it is and must be done.
The wildlife population must be managed.

USFWS - Hunting

The Service recognizes that in many cases, hunting is an important tool for wildlife management. Hunting gives resource managers a valuable tool to control populations of some species that might otherwise exceed the carrying capacity of their habitat and threaten the well-being of other wildlife species, and in some instances, that of human health and safety.

Hmmmmm....would depleted uranium be OK?

Actually, he's just an idiot.

Deep fried Condor fingers with honey mustard dipping sauce! Yum!

 

[whitehall]

Maybe it's blind hatred that causes the radical left to be unable to understand simple editorials. There is nothing to indicate that the NRA wanted to lift the ban on lead ammunition in areas inhabited by condors. The NRA made the point that left wing enviro groups claim that eating game killed by lead bullets is harmful. The claim is ludicrous. NRA affiliated groups do more to conservative wildlife than sissie liberals ever thought of doing.

 

[peach174]

The left will believe anything that is said by the lefty radicals. They just listen to them and say well that sounds reasonable and logical.
None of them do any research to find out if it's true or not.

Lead bullets does not cause lead poising. Lead powder does cause lead poisoning.
First you must grind the bullet into powder, and eat it or inhale it. A solid lead bullet is not a form where the metal is readily absorbed by the body.

 

[PredFan]

Can't wait to go to the fair and buy a smoked Condor drumstick!

 

[Ernie S.]

I grew up eating game killed by lead bullets. I can't tell you how many lead pellets I swallowed by mistake from squirrel, rabbit, grouse, pheasant and other small game.

It seems that it may have even benefited me when I compare myself to Luddley.

 

[PredFan]

Condor, the other white meat.

 

[whitehall]

The stealthy attempt by the nut-case enviro crazies to ban all hunting by banning lead bullets is right up the alley of the sissy lefties and their blind hatred causes them to fall for it every time. Meanwhile they want cars to run on 500 pound hunks of lead and acid.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

We can always count on the same group of brainless idiots to post against the best interests of Americans - including their own families.

Next they'll want lead put back in the paint used on cribs. The figure eating lead didn't hurt them and well, if its good enough for them, its good enough for their kids.
