California introduces a bill to ban lead ammunition
It is no secret that Barack Obama is no fan of the second amendment and he has been using the Sandy Hook massacre to try to gain support for more stringent gun control laws.
In addition to the assault weapons ban and a ban on magazines which hold over ten rounds the federal government has been buying billions of rounds of ammunition in what could be considered an attempt to deplete the ammunition supply, causing a shortage while driving up the prices in an attempt to price ordinary Americans out of the market. So while people may own grandfathered weapons they might not be able to obtain or afford to buy ammo for the weapons.
But what about the people who already own the soon to be banned weapons who also happen to reload or those who already have stockpiled enough ammunition to make it through the shortage?
That is where phase three of the plan comes in: California is being pressured by environmental groups to ban lead ammunition and a bill has been introduced to do just that. Needless to say, if this passes in California it will spread throughout the other states in time, and that is also part of the plan:
There really is no question that lead ammo is a threat,” said Kim Delfino of Defenders of Wildlife. “To pass a bill in California would set the stage for this happening throughout the country, the way low-emissions vehicle standards changed the market nationwide
It has been reported that Barack Obama has been pushing states with Democrat governors to pass gun control legislation at the state level in the event he cannot get what he wants at the federal level and I do not think it is beyond the realm of possibility to believe that Barack Obama is also behind this effort in California at some level.
This is a trial balloon and I would not be surprised to see the EPA also get involved in this at some point in the near future. Barack Obama once said there was more than one way to skin a cat when it came to passing cap and trade regulations before unleashing the EPA to do an end-run around the Congress and I expect him to do the same here as well.

Well, we saw this coming, didn’t we? I’m only surprised the EPA hasn’t already done the same. Sometimes I think their motivation is to provoke a viloent response from gun owners.

Yes we did and have no fear, the EPA will be getting on board with this at some point. Sometimes you do have to wonder if they want a fight.

And, they don’t want to die from lead poisoning.
It would be nice it “we just all got along”. But doing that means one a certain few long of the deal where we get the short end of stick. Where’s the fairness there? None.

I have friends that work at tire dealerships. They keep the old wheel weights for me. I melt them down and cast my own.

A great idea! I think reloading is going to take off in the next few years, if it hasn’t already.

Yes, this does tie into amnesty. Flood the country with millions of new Democrat voters and these are the only kinds of people that will be in public office. Try and wrap your mind around that.

This isn’t new. Here’s an article from 2010 about a shooting range being closed because of lead contamination:

I’m not convinced expended bullets are such a health risk however you simply pass a law calling for non-lead ammo to be used in hunting you don’t ban ALL lead ammo.

This also happened to a gun club in Haverhill last year as well, but I think we are going to see this first on a state level and then on the federal level in the near future.

They are getting so predictable aren’t they. We all read this one coming.

We did see this one coming and we tried to warn people but they didn’t listen. I like to think people are waking up but I thought there were before the last election and I was wrong so I am not hopeful now.
