NRA-ILA :: Lead Ammo Ban by National Park Service an Anti-Hunting Move (http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/NewsReleases.aspx?ID=12216 - broken link)
Quote:
Fairfax, Va. -- The National Park Service has announced its intention to ban traditional ammunition containing lead in all its parks. The move would needlessly push hunters to use more costly ammo like tungsten, copper, and steel. The restrictions, set to take affect by the end of 2010, were announced without regard to science or soliciting feedback from sportsmens’ groups.
"The NPS announcement demonstrates either complete ignorance or complete arrogance as to the effect that this policy will have on hunters,” says Chris W. Cox, NRA chief lobbyist. “There is no science to support NPS' contention that the use of lead ammunition in hunting is causing environmental contamination, having a negative effect on wildlife, or posing a threat to the health of visitors or park staff. This policy, and the lack of communication in advance with the sportsmen's community, is a deliberate attempt to reduce the number of people who will want to hunt in the 60 parks that are open to hunting. This plays directly into the hands of radical anti-hunting organizations like the Humane Society of the US which is advocating that hunters be banned from using lead ammunition."
Anyone care to guess what gross impact the burden of lead bullets wreaks on our national parks? Say goodbye to long-traditional powder rifles. Say hello to armor-piercing steel tipped bullets or massively expensive tungsten ones.
Anyone imagining this is somehow going to save the earth had better be advocating for massive strip-mining operations to remove lead from the earth's crust and shipping it to the moon. What else can you say?
Maybe Obama should threaten to tighten laws against cars and homes too.
We'll be out of this recession in no time.
