Lead Poisoning

[adam32+P]

I live 30 miles from biggest concentration of condors in California they don't feed on game animals that have been shot with lead bullets they eat more dead whales then anything and yet they have a high concentrate of lead. Plus they all live in a cage that is locked and opened every morning and also fed domestic animals. In California it wasn't about the condor it was about guns and hunting.

Exactly. And since the condor doesn't exist in those other western states, they have to make the eagle their prized bird to push their agenda.

Is there a study out there showing lead levels in hunters vs non hunters? That's a study I'd love to see!

 

[Muddyboots]

This is the best study I could find.

View attachment 461099With all these organizations supporting them there could be something to it. Even Patagonia is on board.

Oooo. Dang. I may have to retract my statements about MRCC being without an anti-2A agenda.

Steve posted the eagle video which is an obvious attack on the lead bullet industry. and then made a gelatin test video but failed to mention the competitor's bullet by name. He didn't answer me when I asked which manufacturer, what load for either bullets, or what diameter paper clip to check the hollow point.

Your totally off the reservation, If that's how you really think it's pitiful, it's not an attack on lead bullets, I posted it because the thought never crossed my mind that this was even a possibility.
And all the hook baiting trying is really juvenile, Seems you've picked up the torch that your hero dropped, and you know what bullet they tested so please give it up, I will put my hand on the Bible and swear to My Lord and Savior that I personally know that No One in the Hammer Organization want's or is trying to get lead bullets banned. to say anything of the like is purely ludicrous.
Thank you for turning this into another dumpster fire, I'm sure they are all proud of you and patting you on the back.
That will be my last word on the subject

Well you all have fun. I need to reload for the upcoming varmint and coyote hunts.

From the Sierra Club article: "The Sierra Club supports an assault weapons ban, stricter gun control laws including background checks, and banning lead in ammunition."
Here's the link. No need to tag me or reference me. I'm done here. If or when I need non lead bullets I'll get them else where.

Both are true for me as well.

I watched the video and I agree he actually said he wasn't against lead bullets. Californians have been shooting copper bullets for a while now at least the zone I live in we were first hammers are one of the better bullets this isn't a great look fo us a sport shooters as a whole fitting amongst are selfs.

I would agree the comments have gotten out of hand. However, if you make all copper bullets and you post a video claiming lead bullets are harming wildlife what do you expect people will think? They will think your agenda is self serving wether it is or not. Bad look.
