The duck debate is an old one. This is a bit different if what was printed in the L.A. Times is accurate (big IF). It printed:
The ban on lead bullets was proposed by Assemblyman Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood) because the substance is toxic and can poison those who eat animals shot with the ammunition.
“We are thrilled that Governor Brown has made AB 711 the law of the land,” Rendon said in a statement. “There is simply no reason to continue using lead ammunition in hunting when it poses a significant risk to human health and the environment.” That bill goes into effect in July 2019.
I can see the argument on ducks but not this one on humans. I don't know the number of people that have been poisoned by eating a 30-30 lead bullet, or even some #6 shot, but I'll bet the house its negligible or zero.
I think this law is a simply a win for the anti-gun and anti-hunting groups and has nothing to do with the health of anything.
