Control ammunition and you will control firearms, any kind of ban on lead core ammo will do just that.
The Democrats are looking at every angle to get some kind of ban on traditional lead core bullets and believe me this is nothing more than the beginnings of a back door route to control firearms. First they tried to put a scare into hunters that ate their game meat shot with ammo that contained lead, when it was found that no human ever was proven to have been lead poisoned and become seriously ill from eating game meat they abandoned that line of crap.
That did not stop NY from pulling their stunt with background checks and an added fee just to buy a box of ammo, they are going to make it as hard as they can.
I have nothing against anyone that wants to fire copper ammo, I use copper bullets when I want to when the style and weight are suited for a certain load I want to try.
The propaganda that a copper bullet is superior to a traditional lead core bullet is baloney! They are not more accurate, they do not kill any better than a quality traditional bullet and they cost twice as much with very limited availability. I have taken a fair amount of game in my lifetime and I can not think of one single instance where a copper bullet would have made any difference other than lightening my wallet, dead is dead!
151042 people died from various illegal drugs in this country last year, I would say their priorities about a few birds dying are misplaced!
