Bill to protect traditional ammunition grows
« on: August 11, 2011, 10:28:50 AM »
(GunReports.com) -- Legislation to clarify the longstanding exemption of ammunition and ammunition components under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) of 1976 now has more than 100 co-sponsors in the U.S. House of Representatives, the National Shooting Sports Foundation reports.

This recognition is a major milestone. Known as the Hunting, Fishing and Recreational Shooting Protection Act, this bi-partisan legislation was introduced at the NSSF Congressional Fly-In by Reps. Jeff Miller and Mike Ross in the House and Sens. Jon Tester and John Thune in the Senate, following continued attacks by anti-hunting groups to ban traditional ammunition (ammunition containing lead-core components) under the TSCA.

As co-sponsorship continues to grow in the House, NSSF is now renewing its focus in the Senate, where the bill has 19 co-sponsors.

Pretty sure the EPA already got smacked on this lead in ammo bull crap.

Non-lead components are so dang expensive.
To me, a ploy to get ammo so expensive the 'common' folks cannot afford to be armed.  They hit at all angles, glad to see they are doing some good up there.
