A federal appeals court has ruled against environmentalists who are trying to force the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate spent lead bullets and lead shot used in hunting and shooting sports.
In a decision favorable to gun enthusiasts, the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit said Tuesday that environmental groups have suggested no way in which EPA could regulate spent lead bullets and shot without also regulating cartridges and shells.

Thus clearing the way for the EPA to regulate cartridges and shells!
NEVER underestimate these people. They NEVER lose; they just have temporary setbacks.

Interesting quote from article. I am worried about Donald and Daisy now.
“In 1991, the government adopted a nationwide ban on lead shot in migratory waterfowl hunting after biologists estimated 2 million ducks died each year from ingesting spent lead pellets.”
Lt’s see the data on this one!! Is Mann a consultant to the duck boys?

US Fish and Wildlife has authority of lead bullets and shot, as well as fishing lead.
EPA has authority over lead in mining, mfg/processing, recycling, disposal and emitting. So if there is a issue at a lead battery mfg company, EPA will be involved. If is an issue of lead in the craw of a duck or dove, FWS will be involved.

"Given that bullets and shot can become spent only if they are first contained in a cartridge or shell and then fired from a weapon," the environmental groups "have identified no way in which EPA could regulate spent bullets and shot without also regulating cartridges and shells," precisely what the law prohibits, said the decision by appeals judge David TatelThe EPA is already prohibited by law from regulating cartridges and shells.

Again, DO NOT underestimate the cultural Marxists in this government. If they can get this done, however necessary, through EPA, through FWS, through hook or crook, before Emperor Zero’s time is up, they will.
