the trouble with that hope Gary is that like so many states - New York and Illinois are examples as well as California - the politics are driven by large urban areas. every rural legislator can vote against a bill and it will still pass.

we in upstate NY have not had representation in the US Senate since the 1950's.

I do not see things changing

BTW - the health danger of lead in game - as a hazard to hunters - referred to by Moonbeam Brown, has been out there for years. One was published by an anti hunter whose "research" was not accepted by the scientific community.

That "study" was conducted by a Dr. William Cornatzer, a dermatologist from Bismarck, North Dakota used a high-definition CT scan and claimed to find lead in 60 % of the venison sampled (donated to food banks). unless he only sampled meat with bullet holes, that alone should give pause to a thinking person. The food bank program was temporarily halted, the "study" reviewed, and donations freely accepted again.

There was another published in the UK by a group represented by universities such as Cambridge and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. Remember, in the UK game meat is sold to the public.

But it gives the left something to quote, the media something to publish and the sheep something to follow.
