The SOB couldn't resist a parting shot (so to speak)

Obama Official Issues Ammunition Ban for Federal Lands on Last Day in Office

 

[Mr. terzmo]

Signed today...revoked the next

 

[prambo]

Even if it were not revoked -

 

[RDN]

Still messing w/ our 2nd Amend. rights. And that's one of the main reasons they LOST !!

As much as this new rule sucks, it is not in violation of the 2A.

where is there proof its the lead ????? ... birds n fish can die from anything ... just because a few pellets or sinkers are in them may not be the actual cause of death .. brb gotta wack this catfish out with the hammer .. it swallowed my hook n sinker .. omg this catfish died of lead poisoning see the lead sinker in him ... hog wash .. and just just maybe that rare star spotted turtle was meant to go extinct ..

I've seen plenty of animals killed by lead poisoning. As little as 30 grains will kill an adult squirrel for instance.

Kinda the point though....

Honestly, id love to see a cost effective, safer alternative to lead based ammo for many reasons..... but this is more of a jab at us than anything else. FuBHO

 

[Bcs guy]

In high enough velocities, of course the lead is dangerous to the animals. That is kinda the point.

 

[Cooolone]

Ummmm, I'm pretty sure there's a ruling which negated this... Can't make rules above the Judicial.

Ooooooops, wait, I'm sorry, I forgot that this is the Barack Obama Hussein administration where the Legislative and Judicial branches of govt do not matter!

Fucking losers... Good riddance!

Most of the decent alternatives are classified as "armor piercing". I wonder if DJT can do something about that.

Plastic waste that eventually finds its way into the oceans is far worse for the environment than lead shot and sinkers. Ban plastic not bullets.

Now that's the smartest thing I've heard all day. Your right. Leads no good for anyone, but the cost of any alternative is insane.

 

[Mr. terzmo]

They've been talking steel shot...tougher on barrels....even a plastic type...non bio degradable....

 

[Uninformed and Compliant]

As much as this new rule sucks, it is not in violation of the 2A.

It's a violation of Art I section 8. There's no such thing as "Federal Land", outside of DC itself. If it's not a fort, not a port, not a building, and not a postal road... then it aint lawful, and his ban is meaningless.

 

[GOPerfect]

That one has been fought in court well over 100 times, every single case has lost. Not going to win it this time either.

 

[Criticalt]

I have used steel shot for as long as I can remember.
Im not too sure that little rusty balls of steel are much better than lead to the birds.
As far as rougher on the barrel, maybe so, but my 1960 something 870 Wingmaster has a mirror polished flawless barrel after 50 plus years and thousands of shots.
