If you look at nearly every anti gun bill that comes along in Oregon, they list public safety as the goal. That is their supposed reasoning for the emergency designation for the bills.Way back when they designated the California Condor area as restricted to non-lead bullets, I had a stinkling that it would eventually encompass the entire state. Too big of a win for the antis to pass up. It took a while but this is it. I say again, who can put up effective resistance to something done in the name of public health? And that may eventually be what comes down to gun ownership. Banning it in the name of public health and safety.
Straight harassment
...We've long known that lead has some pretty undesirable effects on the environment and health and since there is a way now to produce projectiles with pretty much identical performance without a lead core why not embrace the change?
One of many reasons to oppose this type of bill is because it would eliminate the option of handloading for range use.Besides an increase in cost (initially) for "green" bullets I have a hard time seeing why this is a bad idea. We've long known that lead has some pretty undesirable effects on the environment and health and since there is a way now to produce projectiles with pretty much identical performance without a lead core why not embrace the change?
It's inconsequential both environmentally (ranges) & in the food chain (shot in birds, ex).
Now, there ARE defined risks. Smelting & indoor ranges without adequate ventilation ex. Both easily mitigated.
No change necessary. Don't act irresponsibly.
I don't need a nanny state telling me what to do, thanks.
Look at California gas can spouts for one of the most absurd and backwards mediations which causes far more problems than there ever were. And we still have to have them. G D Morons.
