California bans all lead ammo for all hunting

[J.B. Books]

The CA governor signed a bill into law this afternoon banning the use of lead
ammo for all hunting. I am going to guess that similar laws will eventually be put into place across the rest of the country as the years go by. It does not bode well for the future of the guns we enjoy.

The socialist state of California is already lost. We have to stand strong where we still have a chance. It's all about gun control. If they can ban guns outright they just go about it a different way.

Strange ! I live in a small town in Ohio and have been Plumbing for 30 plus and replaced many water services to homes on city water ALOT of lines from main to curb stop is guess what LEAD ! they dont replace theirs unless it leaks. I think we need to adjust some thinking in this country !!!

I once worked for a company that refused to market or send product to CA because of the stupid laws. Now this stupid law will have the same effect on the ammunition companies. They just won't want to get involved with it anymore. Ammo sales will then fall to the small specialty companies as fewer people go hunting. That's my prediction.
Does this law include rifle ammunition?
How about "target ammunition"? Can you still shoot skeet with lead?

rifle ammo was the original primary target (no pun intended ) due to the condor

if target shooting was missed, expect that to get corrected.

How will they enforce that law? My friend's family has farm land near San Francisco and I will guarantee they will be using .their .22's to hunt small game and their .410's as they have for the last 75 years. I doubt any condors or waterfowl will be ingesting any of their spent projectiles.

They simply wont allow the sale of any lead based ammo or componants in the state. They manage to inforce their other stupid laws. I wonder if the police are exempt from this law.

Good thing that properly stored ammo has a very long shelf life,I guess.I'm sitting on a couple of hundred pounds of linotype. Maybe I should send it to California.

Unfortunately the legislators, that sign these bills into law are egged on by special interest groups with deep pockets, a lot of the time these legislators don't have a clue as to the ramifications of what they are putting into law, that said, one of these days they will pass a bill that will come back to bite them in the ass.
