We can wait to see whether the EPA outlaws the use of lead ammunition. They have 90 days to comment on a petition from envirowackos. Editorial at pressconnects.com: "The prohibitively expensive [alternative metals] ammunition would be a major obstacle for hunters but would essentially kill high-volume shooting like trap, skeet, and sporting clays, which encompasses nearly 25 million people. **It would also ban the use of the estimated hundreds of millions of rounds of lead ammunition that exist in private hands right now.** It's obvious that a significant drop in ammunition and hunting/shooting equipment sales would have a catastrophic effect on American wildlife. The 11 percent federal excise tax manufacturers pay on ammunition is a primary source of funding for states' wildlife management funding." Either the enviros haven't thought it through... or they are willing to sacrifice their beloved animals to get to US. I vote for the latter explanation.
Another Oleg Volk classic.
We have tyranny. We have our guns.
ReplyDeleteSo now what?
@daniel: I think the general plan is to wait until they have our guns and we still have tyranny. Much easier and less messy that way.
