Quick! Ban lead fishing weights and lead bullets; that is next on the Obama hit list.

EPA Now Accepting Public Comment on Petition to Ban Lead in Ammunition and Fishing Tackle

(CNSNews.com) – Environmental activists are pressing the Obama administration to ban the manufacture, processing and distribution lead shot, bullets, and fishing sinkers under the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976, but hunting and Second Amendment groups say the EPA lacks the authority to do so, for starters.

A petition submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency on Aug. 3 says ammunition and tackle manufacturers are now marketing a wide variety of non-lead, nontoxic bullets, shotgun pellets and fishing tackle, which can and should be used instead of lead projectiles and weights. . . . . .

Editor's notes: not one person reading this news story can come up with a single environmental problem from lead fishing weights or lead bullets. The EPA needs a legislative revamping some time soon. They are simply out of control. They probably still think we need to save the trees ---- when there are more trees in this country today than there was 200 years ago.
