The use of such ammo by hunters puts about 3,000 pounds of lead into the environment annually and causes the death of 20 million birds each year from lead poisoning, said Jeff Miller, a conservation advocate at one of the groups, the Center for Biological Diversity

What warm, dark orifice did the 20 million figure come from, and how many of these were the birds that were aimed at?

I wonder how many birds die every year from those stupid wind farms the liberals love so much?

Banning lead ammo is just another back door gun grabbing scheme by the lefties.
