Dang, those two guys went at it for a bit. I'm all for helping out the wildlife, but I hate when they just use it as part of their political agenda. I don't know much either way is true without researching it, but the probability of them using it as an excuse to get some more bans going seems pretty high...

Looks like another one for the courts. I am not surprised by them. They have a goal and the ends justify the means to them.

Didn't the last lead producing plant just close last year? Not sure where our lead comes from these days, but I wouldn't object to non-lead shot if given the choice.
Here's one article from last year: http://www.ammoland.com/2013/10/last-u-s-lead-smelter-to-close-ammunition-manufacturing-to-feel-effects/#axzz3dA0IyxFc
Wait for it!: Sounds like it still is a "secondary" plant; recycling lead instead of producing it from ore.
