Legislation that would completely ban lead ammunition from the state of California is sitting on Governor Jerry Brown's (D) desk, waiting for his signature to become law.
California already has a lead ammo ban in eight counties, but the Democrat-dominated assembly wants to broaden the ban to cover the entire state.
According to Fox News, proponents of the ban claim it will protect endangered species, like the condor.
**********************
NRA lawyer Chuck Michel believes the danger posed by lead ammo to condors is overstated, as well: "These condors are flocking around... dump sites. They are vultures. They also congregate around lookout towers, and there are pictures of them eating the chipped lead paint. The point is, there are alternative sources of lead in the environment which are probably the source of the lead."
Gov. Brown has until October 12 to decide whether to sign the bill.

So long, California. Only the gangbangers and illegals will have ammo now because they don't care if they're carrying lead bullets. They'll be back on the street the next day. Joe-six-pack? Oh, hell no. Your life will be ruined. You'll lose your job, have to get rid of all your firearms, etc.
Dear California, Go away, please go away. Go far far away!
All tyrannies strive to disarm their subjects before they crack down to turn subjects into slaves. It’s a progress.

The government of Cali is still trying to get around the voter rejection of PROP 15 back in 1982 that would have banned the sale of handguns in Kali.
Can’t ban handguns? Ban magazines. Ban lead. Ban semi-autos. Ban! BAN! BAN!
I bet copper, iron or steel poisoning would kill just as dead.

This state has completely gone off the deep end. Cradle to grave nannyhood, with sodomy of your sons in between.
All sane people need to flee, and shake the dust from your feet on the way out.
Can they turn them in at the state capitol..... one at a time?
Another black market created. Just what the cops need to do, search vehicles coming into CA for lead ammo contraband.
Are they banning the use or just the sale?
Conservatives should be doing what libs would be doing right now: shopping for a judge to give them a favorable ruling. Stop the implementation of the law until a full judicial review can be done. Then (if the result is an unfavorable ruling) take it through the courts.
Free Full-Auto Guns to Syrian terrorists: You bet’cha!
Semi-Auto Guns to American citizens with a Constitutional Right: No, that’s insane!
I wonder if ‘law enforcement’ at the FEDERAL and STATE levels must comply?
What about .22 ammo?
>22 is used for small game and non-lead .22 rimfire ammo is, to borrow a phrase from Twain, “scarce, almighty scarce”.
libs hate guns and family, and hunting is a HUGE father/son rite of passage.
They’re trying to kill two condors with one stone, here.
What does ammunition with out lead look and feel like? What do they use? Brass, copper, uranium? I expect there are some serious ballistic adjustments that will need to be considered. The guns might have to be re-engineered. Or.... KAnians will just not be able to shoot guns.
Capitalism always win. Bring on the fragmenting composite ammo!
Can Republicans ban THC from “medical” marijuana?
Seems the movie “Escape From LA” was a futuristic documentary.
“Proponents of the ban claim it will protect endangered species, like the condor”
If that’s the case, include wind turbines to the ban.
