Somebody at the Environmental Protection Agency takes too much policy guidance from Chris Rock standup routines. Rumors — let’s call it “truth” — were circulating that the EPA was planning on banning lead — as in lead bullets. You see the lead was poisoning the environment and killing animals. Yeah.. I know. A bunch of enviro-groups had petitioned EPA to regulate bullets. Anyway… it seems or more saner heads have prevailed or more likely enough light was thrown on these parasites to drive them back underground. The EPA is now backing away from any such ban saying it lacks jurisdiction. Score one for sanity and for the NRA watch-dogging this.
Liberal bureaucrats… never met a liberty they couldn’t regulate away.

True. I bought a box of ammo a few months ago, and the only type they had were non-lead, at least in the particular size I needed. The clerk told me that some enviro-whacks were trying to push for nothing but non-lead, but he thought it would never fly. Now if we could get them off the case of timber cutting and oil drilling, America might actually gain a few notches economically and on the freedom scale!
