Getting the Lead Out: Center for Biological Diversity Takes On the NRA

I am all for shooting steel ammo, but no thanks on the petition.
Why then did the same US government buy 1.6 billion rounds of ammo, including hollow points and sniper ammo??? What are you going to do about that Center for Biological Diversity?
Matthew, what does that even mean? Do you know what the Center is fighting for? And Dredd, why no on the petition?
It is obvious that being around a large amount of lead bullets lowers IQ by several points. The larger the clip, the lower the IQ.
It’s been proved to most people’s satisfaction that lead bullets harm condors, but no one has proved that lead bullets are harming other species, including humans. That condors feed exclusively on carrion is probably the main reason. Species such as coyotes, mountain lions, skunks, eagles and bears, which feed only opportunistically on carrion, are thriving. The impetus to outlaw lead bullets outside the condors’ range is political, not biological.
I’m with Chris Rock — bullets should be $5000 each and registered…
Elemental lead, as found in bullets has virtually no impact on the environment and does not enter the food chain. The Center for Biological Diversity once more finds danger where none exist to help its liberal buddies.
The good news is, that after seeing this and the other recent anti-NRA junk, I decided to join the NRA to help fight “the enemy within” – liberals. The best $60 I have spent in a while buying a two year membership. Thanks for making me aware of the very real need to defend our freedoms.
