Yet another back door attempt at gun control and a hunting ban based upon nebulous reasons not science. Please note that I happen to be a big fan of solid copper bullets, and Hevi-Shot however they are very expensive compared to conventional ammunition. Nor are they all that available, or even the best choice for all situations. If this idiotic back door law via regulation goes through how long until all BLM as well as other public hunting venues are subjected to the same sort of emotion based management?

| The National Park Service (NPS) has announced its intention to ban traditional ammunition containing lead in all its parks. The move would needlessly push hunters to use more costly bullets made of tungsten, copper, and steel. The restrictions, set to take affect by the end of 2010, were announced without regard to science and without soliciting feedback from sportsmens’ groups.
NRA-ILA will continue to be a voice of opposition against this unnecessary action and is committed to protecting the rights of hunters to use the ammo that is best suited for their hunting needs and budget.

“The NPS announcement demonstrates either complete ignorance or complete arrogance as to the effect that this policy will have on hunters,” said NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox.
