I took a moment to send the link to this thread to Boss. I told them I expected their position may hurt business. Here is a copy of the response I recieved.

Hi MArk!

Thank you for sharing. It's amazing the things people will post when ignorance is celebrated on the internet. We support the extensive research SLF has done, and as a small business in today's America, actually believe we could use a little less government and don't support a sweeping lead ban of any sort. We developed a shell that is a direct replacement for lead to be used by waterfowlers, and think that is trap shooters would rather shoot lead (which I believe is the intention of the initial post) they should be free to do so. We're happy to talk through any questions you may have!

Thank you again for your time and support, we certainly appreciate it!

Mark, thanks for sharing.

“Ignorance celebrated on the internet”. This statement feels a lot like the Bud Light marketing executive’s comment about their customers. Feels very patronizing and apathetic to a concern by either customers or potential customers. I think the dichotomy here is saying you do not support a ban on lead, yet you donate to an organization whose mission is to do just that.

After this got posted, pretty much everything they said is out the window.

Bob, I've always believed that steel shot and some of the non toxics have crippled more birds that eventually die than were harmed with lead shot. I know that supposedly this was done to protect eagles and vultures, scavengers if you will. Personally I believe that the predators are out of control but I digress. The problem is that using lead shot even a mediocre shot could harvest a bird. When they were forced to use a ballistically inferior product coupled with their poor shooting, cripples went up.
