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

[R.C. Christian]

So what is you solution smudley? Ban all lead from California?

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.

The lead in paint was powder.
Lead powder poison.
Solid Lead not poison.

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)

If you ever need any lead shot let me know. I know where to get some. Lol

But I really do.

Better question is, why stop? Lead bullets, being softer, are actually less dangerous than bullets made out of harder metals.

blah blah blah ...

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

....blah blah blah

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.

......

That isn't the point. Facts are not relevant to the discussion. Only a total ban on hunting is an acceptable outcome. The loons even admit what the goal is.

...or erroneously believe the lying propaganda that says hunting is somehow a 'good thing'.

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.

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.

Like all irrational gun-haters, Luddy thinks it's morally superior for wildlife to die of starvation and disease versus being hunted and feeding people, just like it's morally superior for a woman to be raped and murdered than for her to kill her attacker with a firearm.

 

[daveman]

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.

Liberals don't give a shit about the environment.

Gulf of Mexico's Extinction-by-Ethanol - Bloomberg

In years when there is more rain, more nitrogen ends up in the water -- and vice versa. Last year's drought is considered the main reason the 2012 dead zone covered only 2,889 square miles in the Gulf, the smallest in several years, and down from 6,767 square miles in 2011. If conditions are right this year, the dead zone might occupy an area the size of New Jersey, or 7,800 square miles. Researchers usually take an official measurement in July.

--

A state-federal environmental task force in 2008 set a goal of reducing the amount of nutrients in the Mississippi by 45 percent by this year. By all accounts, little progress has been made.​

2008? Bush Admin, right?

The culprits behind the dead zone are many, but one deserves special attention: corn. Unlike, say, soybeans, which can grow without fertilizer, corn can't grow without it. It takes 195 pounds of fertilizer to grow an acre of corn.

And the U.S. grows a lot of corn -- more than any other country. What's more, 40 percent of the U.S. corn crop is devoted to making ethanol, which fuel companies must blend with gasoline under a congressional mandate. The Gulf dead zone is yet another reason for Congress to kill that mandate.​

Save the Gulf. Eliminate methanol mandates.

Anyone found any dead Condors yet?

Well...F-troop has made using steel in most bullets a crime. SO yeah, that pretty much leaves lead. Other metals are too light to use, too expensive to be practical, or both.
