The Center for Biological Diversity has a reputation of opposing all development. They are one of the most irrational and anti-human of the eco-groups, IMHO.

Could this be another component of the "under the radar" gun control of the Obama administration?

BLOAT.

[jagusafr]

Cold. Dead. Hands.

I’m as ecologically and environmentally concerned as the next guy, so in order to save the environment I propose that the members of The Center for Biological Diversity be turned into compost. A win-win all the way around.

Up to 20 million birds die each year from lead poisoning after consuming spent lead shot and bullet fragments left in the wild from hunting.

And there are people out there that buy this load
of malarky?

There aren’t twenty million birds killed by AIMED
shot every year.

When it comes to the political left's unceasing efforts to destroy our Constitutional rights, any excuse will do.

“100 Groups”

With a grand total of about 500 members. /s

Now that they are no longer being shot by farmers and fishermen..the big birds are coming back strong. We have eagles here in San Diego..plus more hawks and Osprey’s.
Bottom feeders are growing in numbers. Don’t see the problem.

By that logic I should just sprinkle lead shot over my hunting grounds and wait for birds to drop dead and send the dog after them. I’ll just sit in the house watching tv waiting and don’t have to worry about my aim faltering as I get older....

Another load of horse crap! How many birds die from the “F”ing windmills and these pri-ks don’t say a thing?

“100 Groups”

Or one group with 100 letterheads.

When I get home I’m going to dig up an article I wrote debunking this out and out lie.

“This isn’t about hunting

There is some truth in there after all.

[FedsRStealingOurCountryFromUs]

Bingo!

1) Identify the CHANGE to be implemented
2) Find an APPEALING EXCUSE to implement the change
   ('environmental concerns' evoke sympathy!)
3) Use the EXCUSE to rally American support*
4) Implement the CHANGE

*Step #3 is often skipped.

13.7 million birds die every day of natural causes.

This is all BS.

OK. Is there any lead in RPG's?

I feel sooooo bad for my oldest brother.
