Members of the state Senate Appropriations Committee MUST hear your OPPOSITION
Assembly Bill 711 would make California the first state in the nation to prohibit the use of all lead ammunition for hunting. This bill’s next stop is in the state Senate Appropriations Committee on Monday, June 23, when it is expected to be brought up for a vote. We need a strong voice of opposition to AB 711.

Good Hunting... from Varmint Al
It’s California. It will not only pass, but they will ban the use of ammunition of all forms other than cotton-candy bullets.

Good Hunting... from Varmint Al
What sort of Ammunition are the proponents of this bill in favor of? -— That is the question you all in CA need to ask.
Why? Follow up....
They don’t care about the lead, they are trying to stop hunting as a way to control guns! Call them out on it. When they cannot offer an alternative to lead in ammunition, they are not trying to solve a problem. The entire idea of this law is a FALSE PREMISE... not just based on a false premise. The subject is a false premise.
"Help Stop Hunting Ammunition Ban in CA"
If we are forced to use steel rounds we will be I’m violation of federal laws, as the rounds will be considered armor piercing.
Personally, I’d rather take an animal with a frangible round, as it’s more humane.
California has a real wild pig infestation and it will only get worse.
When the pigs start tearing apart the protected orchids and other loverly plants, the greenies can picket them and protest their infractions.

Not that a lead ban would do much right now, since you can't find any ammo anyway.
They weigh less too. Just so long as there is viable optic that costs the same or less, I can do this
In fact, the wild pigs have been for decades, tearing apart the Constitution from their burrows in Sacramento.
Now, let’s see if I get this straight.
If a condor eats a shot animal and dies of lead poisoning, that is bad.
If the same condor ran into the vanes of an electrical generating windmill and is killed, that is OK.
Priorities, priorities.
