Here is my unsolicited opinion. It ain’t the lead. The lead is just an excuse to ban the ATC, ATV the kids are running around some Liberal’s neighborhoods, and the Liberals are in POWER, so they create a means to stop it.
Similar to the fellow I read about whom couldn’t get a permit to build on his coastal property. Some Legislator stated “that would ruin the view from people cruising by on their yachts”. IOW snot nosed Liberal lawyers on their yachts.
They tied this in with the same stupid law that is killing the used clothing and toy market requiring lead testing that makes those items unaffordable due costs for the testing.
These are the same legislators with so much empathy for “Joe Six-Pack” and the poor./s
